Workshop: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Safe Nanotechnologies, November 29 - December 3, 2010, Boston, Massachusetts

1049628 DeVincent WolfSupport建议举办研讨会/专题讨论会。该研讨会由美国国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）和国际纳米技术环境影响中心（iCEINT）共同资助，将邀请材料科学家，化学家，毒理学家，生态毒理学家，环境工程师和科学家，气象学家，监管机构和纳米技术的其他利益相关者就纳米材料和纳米技术的可持续发展进行有意义的思想交流。具体来说，他们建议在2010年材料研究学会（MRS）秋季会议上举办一个为期多天的研讨会，为正在开发新型纳米材料的材料科学和化学专业的年轻和成熟教师以及解决这些材料的环境问题和毒理学问题的科学家之间的思想交流提供一个论坛。本次研讨会的一个主要目标是继续对话，制定纳米技术可持续发展的框架，包括绿色化学和政策的概念。研讨会还将有助于跨领域转让技术和方法，并在下一代研究人员之间建立联系，以促进未来的合作。研讨会将涵盖与可持续纳米技术相关的几个主题：1）在生物相关条件下测量纳米材料和界面，2）检测和量化复杂基质中的纳米材料，3）评估新纳米材料nanoEHS风险的预测工具，4）用于纳米材料EHS评估的生物模型系统，5）绿色（较绿色）纳米材料合成和制造方法/LCA，6）工程纳米材料毒性和安全性的纳米医学课程，以及7）用于环境修复的纳米材料。

1049628DeVincent WolfSupport for a workshop/symposium is proposed. This workshop, co-financed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) and the International Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (iCEINT) will engage material scientists, chemists, toxicologists, ecotoxicologists, environmental engineers and scientists, meteorologists, regulators, and other stakeholders of nanotechnology in a meaningful exchange of ideas regarding the sustainable development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Specifically, they propose a multi-day symposium at the 2010 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting to provide a forum for exchange of ideas between young and established faculty from materials science and chemistry that are developing novel nanomaterials and the scientists addressing environmental issues and toxicological concerns with those materials. A key objective of this workshop is continuing dialogue toward formulating the framework for sustainable development of nanotechnology including concepts of green chemistry and policy. The workshop will also help to transfer techniques and approaches across fields and establish contacts among the next generation of researchers that will stimulate collaboration in the future.The workshop will cover several topics relevant to sustainable nanotechnology:1) Measuring nanomaterials and interfaces in biologically relevant conditions,2) Detection and quantification of nanomaterials in complex matrices,3) Predictive tools for assessing the nanoEHS risk of new nanomaterials,4) Biological model systems for nanomaterial EHS evaluation,5) Green(er) nanomaterials synthesis and manufacturing methods/LCA,6) Nanomedicine lessons in engineered nanomaterial toxicity and safety, and7) Nanomaterials for environmental remediation.
