BEACON Biosensor Symposium, October 2, 1998, Hartford, Connecticut

9813559布朗齐诺康涅狄格州生物医学工程联盟(BEACON)将于1998年10月2日在康涅狄格州哈特福德的三一学院举办生物传感器研讨会。生物传感器检测代表生物变量的信号，并将其转换为电信号；它们充当生物系统和电子系统之间的接口。会议的几个目标是提供对正在进行的生物传感器开发研究的见解，描述工业成功将想法转化为成功产品的例子，并介绍关于合作学术/工业努力的资助机会的信息。研讨会组织得很好，演讲者是生物传感器发展的领导者。这次会议是Beacon每学期通常召开的两个研讨会之一，以回顾生物医学工程研究的亮点。Beacon是四个教育机构的联合项目--康涅狄格大学斯托尔斯分校、康涅狄格大学健康中心、哈特福德大学和三一学院。专题讨论会将由一群著名的研究人员作介绍，预计这次会议将引起全国观众的兴趣。预计将有175至200人参加，其中包括来自Beacon附属机构的20至30名学生。会议成果的传播将以印刷出版物的形式进行，基金会正在为该出版物提供资金。与会者将了解最先进的生物传感器的当前应用，并随着这一技术领域的发展对其未来的能力有一个洞察。***

9813559 Bronzino The Biomedical Engineering Alliance for Connecticut (BEACON) is presenting a Biosensor Symposium on October 2, 1998 at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut. Biosensors detect signals representing biological variables and convert them to electrical signals; they serve as the interface between a biologic system and an electronic system. The several objectives of the meeting are to provide insights into ongoing research for the development of biosensors, to describe examples of industrial successes in transforming ideas into successful products, and to present information about funding opportunities for collaborative academic/industrial efforts. The symposium is well organized and the speakers are leaders in the development of biosensors. This meeting is one of two seminars usually convened by BEACON each academic semester to review highlights of biomedical engineering research. BEACON is a joint project of four educational institutions-University of Connecticut at Storrs, the University of Connecticut Health Center, the University of Hartford, and Trinity College. The symposium presentations are to be made by a group of eminent researchers and the meeting is expected to elicit interest from a national audience. From 175-200 persons including 20- 30 students from BEACON affiliated institutions are expected to attend. Dissemination of results of the meeting will occur in a printed publication for which funds are being awarded by the Foundation. Attendees at the meeting will learn about current applications of state-of-the-art biosensors and gain an insight to their future capabilities as this technological area develops. ***
