Financial Support: American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting; San Diego, CA; March 13-17, 2005

PI请求为CUNY-Hunter学院多维材料、科学和工程(PMSE)分部的生物纳米技术部门提供财政支持。出席者：松井浩史(CUNY)、金伯利·哈马德-希弗利(Kimberly Hamad-Schifferli)(麻省理工学院)和拉杰什·奈克(Rajesh Nak)(空军实验室赖特·帕特森)。智力价值美国化学学会全国会议是化学和相关工程领域最大的会议。在松井博士的团队组织的演讲中，主题围绕着生物纳米技术展开。具体地说，该小组计划探索与计算机、传感器和数据存储相关的生物材料应用，以及组织工程和药物输送等相关研究应用。作为一个整体，研讨会将有三个会议，重点是生物学中的纳米材料，生物学和纳米系统之间的界面，以及生物聚合物。这次研讨会将集中讨论如何利用生物大分子作为合成无机纳米材料的基石，生物世界与纳米系统之间的界面，以及利用生物大分子作为聚合物的基石。广泛影响研讨会的目标是为聚合物、材料和生物研究人员之间的直接互动提供一个论坛，以探索纳米科学中新的跨学科研究活动。受邀的演讲者包括不同的智力背景，包括工业、学术和政府实验室，男性和女性研究人员，以及年轻和年轻的研究人员。

The PI requests financial support for the Bionanotechnology section in Polymetric Materials, Sciences, and Engineering (PMSE) division at CUNY - Hunter College. The attendees: Hiroshi Matsui (CUNY), Kimberly Hamad-Schifferli (MIT), and Rajesh Naik (Air Force LabWright Patterson) are also presenting at this symposium.Intellectual MeritThe ACS National meeting is the largest meeting in the fields of Chemistry and relatedengineering. In the presentations being organized by Dr. Matsui's group, the topics are centered around bionanotechnology. Specifically, the group plans to explore biomaterials applications as they relate to computers, sensors and data storage, as well as relevant research applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery.The symposium as a whole, will have 3 sessions focused on nanomaterials in biology, the interface between biology and nanoscale systems, and biological polymers. Thissymposium will focus on how to utilize biological macromolecules as building blocks tosynthesize inorganic nanomaterials, the interface between the biological world andnanoscale systems, and use of biological macromolecules as building blocks forpolymers.Broader ImpactThe goal of the symposium is to provide a forum for direct interaction between polymer, materials, and biological researchers in order to explore new interdisciplinary research activities in nanoscience.The invited speakers include a diverse array of intellectual backgrounds, to includeindustrial, academic and government laboratories, male and female researchers, andestablished as well as young investigators.
