This grant provides funding for a symposium, from the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM), that will bring together leading experts in cell biology, physiology, biophysics, applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, computational mechanics, bioengineering, and regenerative medicine to stimulate critical discussions and identify future challenges and opportunities in computational biomechanics. It has the potential to advance the field in the following directions: (i) mathematical modeling and computational simulation on the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels; (ii) characterization of the relevant biological, chemical, electrical, and mechanical fields; (iii) image-based, patient-specific design of computational models; (iv) verification and validation of computational models on the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels. The symposium will be held between August 29 and September 02, 2011 at Stanford University, California. It will feature five keynote speakers, approximately 40 invited speakers, and approximately 60 to 80 participants. This proposal will support undergraduates and young researchers to actively participate in the symposium through podium and poster presentations. Moreover, it will allow dissemination of their research activities in the hardcopy book of conference proceedings.This IUTAM symposium will have direct academic, scientific, and educational impact. Academically, it will establish and broaden the computational biomechanics community, create synergies, and reach out to scientists who have not traditionally been part of this community. Scientifically, it will identify new research directions and push frontiers in computational biomechanics with results made available to the broad public in the form of a hardcopy book of conference proceedings and a multiple-author expert review paper on challenges and advances in computer models in biomechanics. Educationally, it will encourage the participation of undergraduates and young researchers from underrepresented groups and institutions that are traditionally short of funding which will be crucial to strengthen the computational biomechanics community now and in the future.

该补助金为国际理论与应用力学联合会（IUTAM）的研讨会提供资金，该研讨会将汇集细胞生物学，生理学，生物物理学，应用数学，连续介质力学，计算力学，生物工程和再生医学方面的领先专家，以激发批判性讨论并确定计算生物力学未来的挑战和机遇。它有可能在以下方向推进该领域：（i）分子，细胞，组织和器官水平上的数学建模和计算模拟;（ii）相关生物，化学，电学和机械领域的表征;（iii）基于图像的，患者特定的计算模型设计;（iv）基于图像的，患者特定的计算模型设计。（iv）在分子、细胞、组织和器官层面上验证和确认计算模型。研讨会将于2011年8月29日至9月2日在加州的斯坦福大学举行。会议将有5名主旨发言人，约40名特邀发言人，约60至80名与会者。该提案将支持本科生和青年研究人员通过讲台和海报展示积极参与研讨会。此外，它将允许在会议记录的硬拷贝书中传播他们的研究活动。这次IUTAM研讨会将产生直接的学术、科学和教育影响。在学术上，它将建立和扩大计算生物力学社区，创造协同效应，并接触到传统上不属于这个社区的科学家。作为科学家，它将确定新的研究方向，推动计算生物力学的前沿，并以会议记录硬拷贝书和多作者专家评论文件的形式向广大公众提供结果，这些文件涉及生物力学计算机模型的挑战和进展。在教育方面，它将鼓励来自代表性不足的团体和机构的本科生和年轻研究人员的参与，这些团体和机构传统上缺乏资金，这对现在和未来加强计算生物力学社区至关重要。
