这个合作研讨会的目的是汇集生物制造和纳米制造的新兴领域的研究人员，探索生物和纳米制造界面的协同作用和机会。纳米加工技术的例子包括表面改性、纳米操纵、纳米级的热、电和光学加工和沉积、静电纺丝、纳米级成分的合成和结合以及利用生物生命来制造纳米材料。研讨会将确定，讨论和建议生物纳米制造可能的合作领域。它将邀请和从事生物纳米制造学科领域的专家，如基于生物制造，生物印刷和图案化，器官和细胞印刷，生物材料设计和涂层以及纳米设计和多尺度建模，主动和被动纳米结构设计，功能梯度hirachical纳米集成系统，细胞传感器和致动器系统，多功能纳米和微米计量工具，此外，这次研讨会还将讨论教育课程的新机会，以培训下一代劳动力。行业成员将是本次研讨会的重要组成部分，在小型和大型行业的进展将被讨论和建议，以确保美国行业在生物纳米制造这一新兴领域的全球竞争力。随着生物制造和纳米制造并行出现，越来越明显的是，它们的交叉点是新发现和发明的关键途径，也是工程纳米尺度的关键途径。结构、图案化工具和计量手段可以有效地应用于细胞工程水平的可预测的、可生产的/可再现的和生产性的2D和3D生物制造。该研讨会将提供nanomanufacturing必要的洞察力，领导研究与2D和3D主动和被动纳米结构，自我和定向组装，纳米图案化，2D和3D分层细胞和分子打印和集成，以及多功能计量。

The objective of this collaborative workshop is to bring together researchers in the emerging fields of biomanufacturing and nanomanufacturing to explore synergies and opportunities at the interface of bio and nano manufacturing. Examples of nano-process techniques include surface modification, nanomanipulation, thermal, electrical and optical machining and deposition at nanoscale, electrospinning, synthesis and incorporation of nanoscale components and usage of biological life for the creation of nanomaterials. The workshop will identify, discuss and recommend possible collaborative areas for bio-nano manufacturing. It will invite and engage experts from the range of bio-nano manufacturing subjects areas such asfreeform fabrication based biomanufacturing, bio-printing and patterning, organ and cell printing, biomaterials designing and coating as well as nanodesigning and multiscale modeling, active and passive nano structures by designing, functionally graded hirachical nanointegrated systems, cellular sensory and actuator systems, multifunctional nano and micro metrology tools, targeted drug delivery, etc. In addition, this workshop will also discuss new opportunities for education curricula to train next generation workforce. Industry members will be an important part of this workshop where progress in small and well as large industries will be discussed and recommended to assure global competitivenss of US industries in this emerging field of bio-nano manufacturing.As biological manufacturing and nanoscale manufacturing emerges parallel, it is becoming increasing evident that their intersections are critical pathways where new discoveries and inventions reside and where engineered nano scale structures, patterning tools and metrology means can be effectively applied for predictable, producible/reproducible, and productive 2D and 3D biomanufacturing at cellular engineering level. This workshop will provide nanomanufacturing the insight necessary to lead research with 2D and 3D active and passive nanostructures, self- and directed- assemblies, nanoscale patterning, 2D and 3D hierarchical cell and molecule printing and integration, and multifucntional metrology.
