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

康涅狄格生物医学工程联盟（BEACON）将于1998年10月2日在康涅狄格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；它们是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，描述将想法转化为成功产品的工业成功案例，并提供有关学术/工业合作努力的资助机会的信息。研讨会组织得很好，演讲者都是生物传感器领域的领军人物。本次会议是BEACON每学期召开的两次研讨会之一，旨在回顾生物医学工程研究的亮点。BEACON是四所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。研讨会将由一组著名的研究人员作报告，预计会议将引起全国听众的兴趣。预计将有175-200人参加，其中包括20- 30名来自BEACON附属院校的学生。会议结果的传播将在由基金会颁发资金的印刷出版物中进行。与会者将了解目前最先进的生物传感器的应用，并随着这一技术领域的发展，深入了解它们的未来能力。＊＊＊

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. ***
