Biological Materials Science Symposium; Seattle, WA; February 14-18, 2010

ID：MPS/DMR/BMAT(7623)1002471 PI：Kruzic，Jamie ORG：俄勒冈州立大学标题：生物材料科学研讨会学术价值：该提案要求部分支持将于2010年2月14-18日在西雅图举行的矿物、金属和材料学会(TMS)2010年年会期间举行的生物材料科学研讨会。专题讨论会将持续三天零两天，约有55名受邀演讲者和特约演讲者、三位杰出的主旨演讲者以及一次海报会议。在过去的五年里，这个研讨会已经成为TMS年会的一个常态。值得注意的是，它将生物材料带入了一个传统上不包括生物材料讨论的论坛。因此，具有陶瓷和金属材料背景的材料科学家有机会了解如何在快速增长的生物材料领域发挥他们的专业知识。计划举行下列研讨会：生物启发材料设计与加工I：大分子概念与应用生物启发材料设计与加工II：生物陶瓷与生物矿化生物材料的机械行为I：自然启发材料的机械行为II：生物材料的机械行为II：硬组织及其替代材料生物材料的机械行为III：软组织与材料表面工程：生物仿生学与生物应用计算材料科学BROADER的影响：本次研讨会的一个值得注意的特点是强调让学生参与口头和海报演示。事实上，从国家科学基金会申请的所有资金都将用于支付学生参与者的旅费。对受邀发言者和特约发言者名单的审查表明，组织者适当关注了国家科学基金会的优先事项，即扩大研究和教育的参与和整合。

ID: MPS/DMR/BMAT(7623) 1002471 PI: Kruzic, Jamie ORG: Oregon State UniversityTitle: Biological Materials Science Symposium INTELLECTUAL MERIT: The proposal requests partial support for a symposium on biological materials science to be held in conjunction with the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS) in Seattle, February 14-18, 2010. The symposium will continue for three full days and two half days and will involve approximately 55 invited and contributing speakers, three distinguished keynote speakers, plus a poster session. Over the past five years this symposium has become a regular feature of the TMS annual meeting. Significantly, it brings biomaterials into a forum where biomaterials has not traditionally been included in the discussion. Thus, materials scientists with backgrounds in ceramic and metallic materials are afforded an opportunity to learn how their expertise can be brought into play in the fast growing biomaterials arena. The following symposium sessions are planned:Bio-inspired Materials Design and Processing I: Macromolecular Concepts and ApplicationsBio-inspired Materials Design and Processing II: Bioceramics and BiomineralizationMechanical Behavior of Biological Materials I: Nature-inspired MaterialsMechanical Behavior of Biological Materials II: Hard Tissues and their Replacement MaterialsMechanical Behavior of Biological Materials III: Soft Tissues and MaterialsSurface Engineering: Biomimetics and Biological ApplicationsComputational Materials ScienceBROADER IMPACTS: A noteworthy characteristic of this symposium is its emphasis on involving students in the oral and poster presentations. Indeed, all of the funds requested from NSF will be used to cover the travel expenses of student participants. Review of the list of invited and contributing speakers shows that the organizers have been appropriately attentive to the NSF priorities of broadening participation and integration of research and education.
