Biomedical Engineering Society and Society for Physical Regulation in Biology and Medicine Conference on Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering; Miami, Florida; 4-8 January 2011

该补助金提供资金，以支持九名研究生和博士后研究员参加首届联合生物医学工程学会（BMES）和生物学和医学物理调节学会（SPRBM）细胞和分子生物工程会议（CMBE）（第29届SPRBM年度科学会议）。2011年联合会议的具体主题将是：分子成像和机械转导。BMES和SPRBM都意识到了细胞和分子生物工程的重要性。2008年，BMES成立了一个新的社会杂志，细胞和分子生物工程。现在，首届CBME联合BMES-SPRBM会议是生物医学工程中有前途的子领域的新焦点的开始，也是这个令人兴奋的领域和新的CMBE杂志急需的论坛。一是为提交论文根据科学价值被选中登上讲台的博士后和研究生提供资金支持。该会议将为长期跨学科互动的发展提供一个平台，并使生物工程，生物学和医学的研究人员接触分子成像和机械转导融合的最新想法和机会。第二个目标是促进CMBE令人兴奋的子领域的出现和发展。本次会议的具体目的是：（1）描述分子影像学和机械生物学的现状。来自分子/细胞/组织生物力学的领导者在分子成像和机械转导领域的兴趣和应用将给出分子成像概念的概述，并回顾机械生物学的现状，以及他们在分子/细胞/组织/功能和组织/器官再生方面的研究;和（2）头脑风暴的新兴领域的细胞和分子生物工程，重点是分子成像和机械转导。制定关于细胞和分子生物工程领域的白皮书，并为BMES和SPRBM协会以及广泛的CMBE社区提供细胞和分子生物工程领域的指南和蓝图。该白皮书将作为此次联席会议的成果发表在CMBE上。

This grant provides funds to support nine graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the inaugural joint Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and the Society for Physical Regulation in Biology and Medicine (SPRBM) Conference on Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) (29th SPRBM Annual Scientific Conference). The specific theme of 2011 joint conference will be: Molecular Imaging and Mechanotransduction. Both the BMES and the SPRBM realized the importance of Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering. In 2008, the BMES formed a new society journal, Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering. Now, the inaugural joint BMES-SPRBM Conference on CBME is the beginning of a new focus of the promising subfield in biomedical engineering and much needed forum for this exciting field and the new CMBE journal.The specific objectives of this grant are two-fold. The first is to provide funding support to postdoctoral fellows and graduate students whose submitted papers have been selected for podium presentation on the basis of scientific merits. The meeting will provide a platform for the development of long-term interdisciplinary interactions, and expose researchers in bioengineering, biology, and medicine to the latest ideas and opportunities at the confluence of molecular imaging and mechanotransduction. The second objective is to foster the emergence and growth of the exciting sub-filed of CMBE. The specific aims of this meeting are: (1) Delineate the current status of molecular imaging and mechanobiology. Leaders from the molecular/cellular/tissue biomechanics with interests and applications in molecular imaging and mechanotransduction fields will give an overview of molecular imaging concepts and review the current state of mechanobiology, as well as their research in molecular/cellular/tissue/ functions and tissue/organ regeneration; and (2) Brainstorm the emerging field of cellular and molecular bioengineering with a focus on molecular imaging and mechanotransduction. Formulate a whitepaper regarding the field of cellular and molecular bioengineering and provide guidelines and blueprints for the cellular and molecular bioengineering field to BMES and SPRBM societies as well as the broad CMBE communities. The whitepaper will be published in the CMBE as the outcome of this joint conference.
