International Conference on Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (ICBN), September 5-7, 2006, Santa Barbara, California

2006年9月5日至7日，美国化学工程师协会下属的生物工程学会在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校新纳米系统研究所举行了一次改良的戈登式会议。在这次会议期间，来自生物工程和纳米技术的学术界和工业界的领导人将聚集在一起讨论这些领域的问题和重要问题。这次会议是第二次专门讨论生物工程和纳米技术的国际论坛。第一次是2004年在新加坡。加州会议的重点将是结合工程、科学和医学的新方向，包括输送系统、成像、药物化学、手性药物、组织工程、分子诊断、仿生学和纳米材料。会议的目标是探索共同的挑战，促进互动和合作关系，讨论研究方法、技术和工具，以促进科学发展。生物工程在生物系统在人类健康、药品生产、商品化学品、食品和环境问题解决方面的显著应用中发挥着主导作用。确定共同的挑战并促进相互作用和合作关系是一个非常有益的结果，将促进这些应用。

0612575LeeThe Society for Biological Engineering, a society of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, is holding a modified Gordon-style conference at the University of California- Santa Barbaras new NanoSystems Institute on September 5-7, 2006. During this conference leaders from academia and industry in bioengineering and nanotechnology will come together to discuss problems and issues of importance to these fields. This conference is the second time that an international forum will be devoted to bioengineering and nanotechnology. The first was in Singapore in 2004. The focus of the California conference will be new directions that unite engineering, science and medicine including delivery systems, imaging, medicinal chemistry, chiral pharmaceuticals, tissue engineering, molecular diagnostics, biomimetics, and nanomaterials. The objectives of the conference are the exploration of common challenges, fostering of interactions and relationships for collaborations, and discussion of research methods, techniques and tools to advance science. Biological Engineering is playing a leading role in the remarkable applications of biological systems to human health, production of pharmaceuticals, commodity chemicals, foods and solution of environmental problems. The identifying of common challenges and the fostering of interactions and relationships for collaborations is a highly beneficial result that will facilitate these applications.
