Conference: 37th Northeast Bioengineering Conference, Troy, NY, April 2011

1118368，KothaIntellectual MeritRapid工程学的进步促进了对生物学的深入理解，并为生物医学问题提供了新的变革性解决方案。NEBEC将提供一个多学科论坛，在各级传播生物医学工程的这些进展，并促进跨学科障碍的知识共享。该会议是一个开放的论坛，讨论研究和教育的新方向，想法和方法。为了提供一个加强现有联系和建立新合作的环境，将组织会议，涵盖与再生医学相关的广泛主题：-干细胞和生物材料工程-生物力学-生物光子学和生物医学成像-双分子和分子细胞工程NEBEC传统上一直是学生展示他们的研究并获得建设性反馈的平台。本次会议还提供了一个机会，让学生讨论潜在的职业选择与个人从学术界，政府和industries.Broader ImpactThe第37届NEBEC将有一个广泛的影响东北生物工程界和工程教育。来自东北部40多个机构的研究人员在会议上分享的知识将以电子方式获取，并通过摘要书籍，CD ROM和IEEE网站广泛传播。会议？我们对学生的重视，为他们提供了多种机会，让他们在亲密的环境中展示自己的工作，并与领先的研究人员讨论当前的进展障碍，这将更好地为他们在研究和行业中的职业生涯做好准备。会议的主要目标之一是培养优秀的学生，并帮助发展一个支持该领域未来领导者的环境。此外，接触不同领域的研究将有助于产生创新和创造突破性的生物工程技术，从而使整个社会受益。

1118368, KothaIntellectual MeritRapid advances in engineering are facilitating an enhanced understanding of biology and providing novel transformative solutions to biomedical problems. The NEBEC will provide a multidisciplinary forum for dissemination of these advances in biomedical engineering at all levels, and facilitate the sharing of knowledge across interdisciplinary barriers. The conference serves as an open forum for discussion of new directions, ideas and approaches in research and education. To provide a setting to reinforce existing contacts and in establishing new collaborations, sessions will be organized covering a broad range of topics related to:- Engineering of Stem Cells and Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine- Biomechanics- Biophotonics and Biomedical Imaging- Bimolecular and Molecular Cell EngineeringThe NEBEC has traditionally served as a platform for students to present their research and to obtain constructive feedback. This conference also provides an opportunity for students to discuss potential career choices with individuals from academia, government, and industry.Broader ImpactThe 37th NEBEC will have a broad impact for the Northeast bioengineering community and for engineering education. The knowledge shared at the conference by researchers from over 40 institutions in the Northeast will be captured electronically and broadly disseminated via abstract books, CD ROMS, and via the IEEE website. The conference?s emphasis on students, with multiple opportunities for them to present their work and discuss current obstacles to progress with leading researchers in an intimate setting, will better prepare them for careers in both research and industry. One of the main goals of the conference is to nurture exceptional students and to help develop an environment to support future leaders in the field. In addition, the exposure to research in diverse fields will help spawn innovations and create ground breaking bioengineering technologies, and hence benefit the society at large.
