Workshop on Instrument Development

来自密歇根大学的菲利普·安德鲁斯教授得到了NSF化学综合活动部门和NIH国家普通医学科学研究所(NIGMS)的支持，组织了一次“NSF/NIH仪器开发联合研讨会”。这次会议将探讨在化学/生物科学领域开发创新的新仪器的途径，并为分析、生物技术和制药行业提供更多的竞争优势。会议将汇聚用户和仪器开发者，他们将专注于仪器设计的创造性方法，适用于NSF和NIH共同感兴趣的成熟和新兴研究领域。现代仪器的开发是研究的基石。探索创新的新仪器的发展路径对于促进研究、教育和科学至关重要。人们认为，该讲习班不仅可能在化学和生物领域产生广泛影响，而且还可能对其他学科产生广泛影响。

Prof Philip Andrews from the University of Michigan is supported by the NSF Chemistry Division Integrative Chemistry Activities and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at NIH to organize an "NSF/NIH Joint Workshop on Instrument Development". This meeting will examine paths to develop innovative new instrumentation in the chemical/biological sciences and provide increased competitive advantages for the analytical, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The meeting will bring together users and instrument developers that will focus on creative approaches to instrument design applicable to both mature and emerging fields of research of common interest to both NSF and NIH.Development of modern instrumentation is a corner stone of research. Exploring paths to development of innovative new instrumentation is essential for advancement of research, education and science. The workshop is viewed as having potentially broad impact not only within chemical and biological fields but other disciplines as well.
