Special Symposium: Science and Engineering Principles Applied to Control of Hypercommunicable Diseases, Seoul, Korea, August 27 - September 1, 2006

Jaron 0554661将于2006年8月27日至9月1日在韩国首尔召开一场名为“应用科学和工程原理控制高传染性疾病”的特别研讨会，作为2006年世界物理与工程科学联合会在韩国首尔召开的大会的组成部分。研讨会将讨论高传染性病原体在人口稠密的社区内和跨越国界快速传播所构成的日益严重的威胁。会议将集中讨论科学和工程研究人员如何与生物医学研究和卫生服务社区有效沟通和合作，以开发有效的疾病监测技术、快速和可靠的方法来检测和识别病原体，以及早期预警系统。将研究是否需要一个全球基础设施来隔离、治疗和补救这些高传染性疾病。这次研讨会将成为国际科学理事会(ICSU)2005年发起的关于“科学促进健康和福祉”的重大计划的重要组成部分，并将与之相结合。专题讨论会的会议记录计划于2007年底出版和广泛传播，并计划为国际医学和生物工程联合会(IFMBE)和美国医学和生物工程学会(AIMBE)的通讯撰写摘要报告。

Jaron 0554661 A special symposium, "Science and Engineering Principles Applied to Control Hyper-communicable Diseases," is being convened as a component of the 2006 World Congress of the International Union of Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, Seoul, Korea, August 27 to September 1, 2006. The symposium will address the growing threat posed by the rapid propagation of highly infectious agents within heavily populated communities and across national boundaries. The meeting will focus on how science and engineering researchers can communicate and collaborate effectively with the biomedical research and health delivery communities to develop effective disease surveillance techniques, rapid and reliable methods to detect and identify pathogens, and early warning systems. The need for a global infrastructure to isolate, treat, and remediate these hyper-communicable diseases will be examined. This symposium is to become an important component of, and is to be integrated with, the major program launched in 2005 by the International Council of Science (ICSU) on "Science for Health and Well-Being." The proceedings of the special symposium is planned for publication and wide dissemination late in 2007, and summary reports are planned for newsletters of the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
