AbstractThe objective of this award is to supplement funding from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for supporting the travel of doctoral students at US universities to a two-day conference entitled ?Nano-Bio: the Next Transformative Convergence?. The conference will bring together eminent researchers from all over the world to (i) discuss the convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology (Nano-Bio), (ii) review what has been achieved in these fields, (iii) charter future research directions in these technologies with special emphasis on cellular engineering, and (iv) establish collaborations among researchers all over the world. This gathering of students, eminent researchers, and teachers will provide an intellectually stimulating atmosphere to young talented persons hungry for acquiring knowledge and senior researchers willing to sow seeds for future research in these areas. Deliverables from this workshop will include a report summarizing discussions held during the two days.Nano-Bio not only covers many of the formerly specialized sciences and engineering ? e.g., physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience ? but it also portends incredibly promising new innovations through the fusion of these earlier disparate fields. Examples of what Nano-Bio can accomplish include bio-synthetic materials and machines; targeted drug delivery of novel, engineering-designed molecules to efficiently treat cancerous tumors; and smart sensors that can constantly monitor human body?s status. Forums to bring international researchers from different disciplines together offer tremendous value to help forge new collaborations and promote understanding among disparate fields. The conference?s potential broader impact is to bridge these gaps toward enhancing scientific and technical exchanges at national and international levels.

这个奖项的目的是补充资金，从亚历山大冯洪堡基金会支持在美国大学的博士生旅行为期两天的会议，题为？纳米生物：下一个变革性的融合？ 会议将汇集来自世界各地的杰出研究人员，以（i）讨论纳米技术和生物技术（纳米生物）的融合，（ii）审查在这些领域取得的成就，（iii）宪章未来的研究方向在这些技术中，特别强调细胞工程，以及（iv）建立世界各地的研究人员之间的合作。 这次学生，杰出的研究人员和教师的聚会将为渴望获得知识的年轻人才和愿意为这些领域的未来研究播下种子的高级研究人员提供一个智力激励的氛围。 本次研讨会的成果将包括一份总结两天讨论的报告。纳米生物不仅涵盖了许多以前的专业科学和工程？例如，在一个实施例中，物理化学生物神经科学但它也预示着通过融合这些早期不同的领域而产生的令人难以置信的有前途的新创新。 Nano-Bio可以实现的例子包括生物合成材料和机器;新型工程设计分子的靶向药物输送，以有效治疗癌症肿瘤;以及可以持续监测人体的智能传感器。的状态。将来自不同学科的国际研究人员聚集在一起的论坛提供了巨大的价值，有助于建立新的合作并促进不同领域之间的理解。 会议？的潜在的更广泛的影响是弥合这些差距，以加强在国家和国际层面的科学和技术交流。
