AbstractThe integration of biomolecular engineering, nanotechnology, biomechanics, and biology is expected to produce major breakthroughs in life sciences and medicine. Due to the size-compatibility of nano-scale structures with proteins and nucleic acids, the creation and use of nano-probes provides unprecedented opportunities in achieving a fundamental understanding of biological processes, and drastic improvements in disease detection, therapy, and prevention. To help develop the nanobioengineering field, the PI and his colleagues organized a symposium, 'Nanostructured Probes for Molecular Bioimaging', for the Material Research Society (MRS) Spring 06 meeting in San Francisco, CA. The goals of this symposium are to bring together biologists, biochemists, bioengineers and biophysicists to showcase the recent development of nanostructured probes for, and their applications in molecular imaging for biological and biomedical studies, and to stimulate a greater interest among material scientists to work in this area. The outcome of this symposium includes an MRS Proceeding published online.

生物分子工程、纳米技术、生物力学和生物学的结合有望在生命科学和医学领域产生重大突破。 由于纳米尺度结构与蛋白质和核酸的尺寸相容性，纳米探针的创建和使用为实现对生物过程的基本理解提供了前所未有的机会，并大大改善了疾病检测，治疗和预防。 为了帮助发展纳米生物工程领域，PI和他的同事们在加利福尼亚州旧金山弗朗西斯科举行的材料研究学会（MRS）春季会议上组织了一个研讨会，“分子生物成像的纳米结构探针”。 本次研讨会的目标是汇集生物学家，生物化学家，生物工程师和生物制药学家，展示纳米结构探针的最新发展及其在生物和生物医学研究分子成像中的应用，并激发材料科学家在这一领域工作的更大兴趣。 本次研讨会的成果包括在线发布的MRS程序。
