2007 ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference

该项目将支持2007年6月20日至24日在科罗拉多州基斯顿举行的美国机械工程师协会（ASME）夏季生物工程会议。夏季生物工程会议是由美国机械工程师学会生物工程分会（ASME-BED）主办的高质量、多学科的年度生物医学工程活动。今年的会议还由其他几个知名学会共同主办，如生物医学工程学会（BMES），电气和电子工程师学会医学和生物工程学会（IEEE EMBS），美国化学工程师学会（AIChE）和美国生物力学学会（ASB）。本次会议汇集了所有不同的生物工程社区，包括主题，如细胞和分子工程，组织工程，功能组织工程等。今年的一次全体会议报告将讨论生物医学工程在改善发展中国家卫生保健方面的应用。这次会议的一个标志是严格的工程原理和生物学概念的相互作用和真正的整合。会议形式为6个平行的口头报告会议。大约三分之一到一半的论文将以海报的形式展示。所有技术报告将是两页的扩展摘要，并汇编成CD格式，分发给所有注册人。本光碟亦会提供给所有共同赞助团体。裁谈会将作为会议的唯一技术性文件。本次会议除了将对主流生物工程界产生直接影响外，还将起到重要的交叉受精作用。预计将有生物工程师、其他学科的工程师、细胞和分子生物学家、生物化学家、生物物理学家和其他科学家参加会议。超过40%的与会者将是学生。这将对当前和未来产生广泛的影响，因为这些学生将通过参加会议以及通过全体发言人和讲习班提供的材料受益。此外，通过载有技术会议记录的光盘和会议网站，将向多个学会和广大公众提供会议上介绍的信息。NSF的支持将用于帮助降低学生注册费，为学生论文竞赛提供部分资金，并部分支付项目小册子和CD的出版费用。

CBET-0730298 Moore This project will support the 2007 ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference which will be held at Keystone, Colorado from June 20-24, 2007. The Summer Bioengineering Conference is a high quality, multidisciplinary annual biomedical engineering event sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers-Bioengineering Division (ASME-BED). This year's Conference is also cosponsored by several other well-recognized societies such as the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE EMBS), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB). This conference brings together all of the different bioengineering communities including topics such as cell and molecular engineering, tissue engineering, functional tissue engineering, etc. This year one of the plenary presentations will address the application of biomedical engineering in improving health care in developing countries. A hallmark of this meeting is the interaction and true integration of rigorous engineering principles and biologic concepts. The conference format will be 6 parallel sessions of oral presentations. Approximately 1/3rd to half of the accepted papers will be presented in poster format. All technical presentations will be two-page extended abstracts and compiled in a CD format, distributed to all registrants. Copies of this CD will also be provided to all co-sponsoring societies. The CD will serve as the only technical proceedings of the meeting. In addition to the direct impact this conference will have on the mainstream bioengineering community, this meeting will serve an important cross-fertilization role. Bioengineers, engineers from other disciplines, cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and other scientists are expected to participate in the meeting. More than 40% of the attendees will be students. This will provide a broad impact for the current times as well as for the future as these students will benefit by participation in the meeting and through the material presented by the plenary speakers and workshops. Furthermore, through the CD containing technical proceedings and conference web site, information presented at the meeting will be available to multiple societies and to the public at large. The NSF support will be used to aid in reducing student registration fees, partial funding for the student paper competition, and to cover in part the publication costs of the program booklet and CD.
