CBET-0836346AkayThis project will support the 7th International Summer School on Biocomplexity from Gene to System during July 1-7, 2008 at Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. The main objective of this summer school is to expose undergraduate and graduate biological science and bioengineering students to the relatively new approaches of the mathematical and computational challenges in Systems Biology and the new directions in computational biology, bioinformatics and molecular engineering research and to facilitate rapid diffusion of these mathematical and computational tools in the biological sciences. These methods will be helpful, also, to students in computer science and mathematics who are interested in pursuing research in biology, biomolecular engineering and bioengineering, since the summer school provides exceptional insights into the fundamental challenges in biological sciences. The NSF funds will be used to support ten US senior undergraduate and graduate students, and 5 faculty members.The summer school will use lectures, oriented toward biological science students, by expert faculty and will focus on the relatively new approaches of the mathematical and computational challenges in neuroscience and neural engineering and the new directions in computational neuroscience, neural informatics and neurotechnology. In addition to these lectures, the summer school will include 2 two-hour panel discussion, with active participation of undergraduate and graduate students, focused on (1) computational neural engineering: advances and challenges; and (2) the Future directions: In Neural Engineering from Gene to System. In addition, students will present their research activities in their departments and institutes in a poster session, which will facilitate discussion of both the biology and computational approaches. The broaders impacts are very strong. The summer school will stimulate further interdisciplinary research and collaborations among engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and medical researchers, and will help in identifying new, challenging directions in complex biological science and bioengineering research.This award is co-funded by the Biomedical Engineering Program and Office of International Science and Engineering.

CBET-0836346 Akay该项目将于2008年7月1日至7日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的Bogazici大学举办的第七届国际暑期学校“从基因到系统的生物复杂性”。这个暑期学校的主要目标是让本科生和研究生生物科学和生物工程专业的学生接触到系统生物学中数学和计算挑战的相对较新的方法，以及计算生物学，生物信息学和分子工程研究的新方向，并促进这些数学和计算工具在生物科学中的快速扩散。这些方法也将有助于那些有兴趣从事生物学，生物分子工程和生物工程研究的计算机科学和数学学生，因为暑期学校提供了对生物科学基本挑战的独特见解。美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于支持10名美国高年级本科生和研究生以及5名教师。暑期学校将采用面向生物科学学生的讲座，由专家教师授课，重点关注神经科学和神经工程中数学和计算挑战的相对新方法以及计算神经科学，神经信息学和神经技术的新方向。 除了这些讲座，暑期学校将包括2个两小时的小组讨论，与本科生和研究生的积极参与，重点是（1）计算神经工程：进步和挑战;和（2）未来的方向：在神经工程从基因到系统。此外，学生将在海报会议上展示他们在各自部门和研究所的研究活动，这将促进生物学和计算方法的讨论。更广泛的影响非常强烈。暑期学校将促进工程师、数学家、计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间进一步的跨学科研究和合作，并将有助于确定复杂生物科学和生物工程研究中新的、具有挑战性的方向。该奖项由生物医学工程项目和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
