PROPOSAL NO.: 0234026PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Cheng DongINSTITUTION NAME: Pennsylvania State University University ParkTITLE: The Penn State Summer Institute (PSSI) for Biomaterials and Bio-nanotechnologyABSTRACTPenn State proposes to develop a Summer Institute (PSSI) for research and education for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students to stimulate interest in bioengineering and bioinformatics in general and to draw on the strengths of current research at Penn State in biomaterials and bio-nanotechnology in particular. At Penn State, biomaterials and bio-nanotechnology programs emphasize the development of novel materials and their biocompatibility along with nano-scale manipulations and investigations, all with an eye toward clinical applications. The PSSI will be unique in incorporating laboratories that emphasize the physical sciences (Department of Chemistry), applied sciences (Department of Bioengineering), and life and clinical sciences (Hershey Medical Center).The students will attend an 8-week course entitled "Biomaterials and Bio-nanotechnology in the Health Sciences". This course will be augmented by a seminar series to include industry and academic leaders in biomaterials and bio-nanotechnology (4 outside speakers, 4 Penn State Speakers). Following completion of the program, student career and academic progress will be tracked for data on impact assessment to be used for PSSI enhancements and career counseling.An important goal of the PSSI is to draw talented students and faculty from the physical, life and clinical sciences into bioengineering. This will be addressed by recruiting students from related fields, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biophysics, biology, physiology, orthopedics and surgery. Through the students, they also intend to attract talented faculty working in other areas to apply their skills to biological and medical problems.They aim to: (i) increase the pool of domestic students considering graduate education in bioengineering, (ii) provide educational experience to undergraduates and first-year graduate students to prepare them for careers in these cutting edge fields, (iii) provide faculty with students and supply monies so students can carry out innovative research in faculty labs, and (iv) increase the impact of the Penn State biomaterials and bio-nanotechnology programs.

提案编号： 0234026主要负责人：Cheng Dong机构名称：Pennsylvania州立大学University Park职称：宾夕法尼亚州立大学生物材料和生物纳米技术暑期研究所（PSSI）摘要宾夕法尼亚州立大学提议为高年级本科生和第一年级学生建立一个研究和教育暑期研究所（PSSI）。一年的研究生，以激发一般生物工程和生物信息学的兴趣，并利用目前在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的生物材料和生物信息学研究的优势，尤其是纳米技术。在宾夕法尼亚州立大学，生物材料和生物纳米技术项目强调新材料及其生物相容性的开发，沿着纳米尺度的操作和研究，所有这些都着眼于临床应用。该PSSI将是独特的，包括强调物理科学（化学系），应用科学（生物工程系），生命和临床科学（好时医疗中心）的实验室。学生将参加为期8周的课程，题为“健康科学中的生物材料和生物纳米技术”。本课程将通过一系列研讨会来加强，包括生物材料和生物纳米技术的行业和学术领导者（4名外部演讲者，4名宾夕法尼亚州立大学演讲者）。在项目完成后，学生的职业和学术进展将被跟踪，以获得用于PSSI增强和职业咨询的影响评估数据。PSSI的一个重要目标是吸引来自物理，生命和临床科学的优秀学生和教师进入生物工程。这将通过招收相关领域的学生来解决，如物理学、化学、数学、生物物理学、生物学、生理学、整形外科和外科。通过学生，他们还打算吸引其他领域的优秀教师，将他们的技能应用于生物和医学问题。他们的目标是：（i）增加考虑生物工程研究生教育的国内学生人数，（ii）为本科生和一年级研究生提供教育经验，为他们在这些前沿领域的职业生涯做好准备，（iii）为教师提供学生和资金，使学生能够在教师实验室进行创新研究，以及（iv）增加宾夕法尼亚州立大学生物材料和生物纳米技术项目的影响。
