2011 Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering Gordon Research Conference

ID：MPS/dmr/bmat(7623)1108459 Pi：Wong，Joyce ORG：Boston University标题：2011年生物材料和组织工程戈登研究会议主题：基于生物材料和组织工程的策略和方法是众多生物医学设备成功性能的核心。2011年戈登生物材料与组织工程研究会议的主题是：从基础科学与工程到转化医学的道路。它侧重于在不同的环境中应用基础科学和工程原理，包括发展生物学、材料科学和纳米技术，目标是解决重要的临床相关生物医学问题。该计划将提供一个尖端科学计划和讨论论坛，重点关注特定的基础科学和应用科学和工程挑战，当这些挑战被克服时，将促进生物材料和组织工程技术向临床医学的转化。该计划既是为了在高度相关的发育生物学领域教育生物材料和组织工程社区，也是为了从材料科学、工程和生物学角度激发当前方法的讨论。布罗德影响：本着戈登研究会议的精神，本次会议寻求将各自领域前沿的演讲者和讨论领导者与其他知名研究人员、初级与会者和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员聚集在一起。这一由代表不同研究领域(例如，临床研究人员、基础科学家和工程师以及工业研究人员)的演讲者、讨论领导者和海报主持人组成的不同群体可以为生物材料和组织工程领域的发展做出贡献。这种互动对于为处于其职业生涯所有阶段的研究人员建立研究网络至关重要，并在培养生物材料、科学和工程领域未来的领导者方面发挥关键作用。讨论领导人和发言者被选为代表生物材料和组织工程领域的性别、种族和文化(即来自非美国机构的研究人员？6个非美国国家的代表)的多样性。根据戈登研究会议的政策，没有正式的出版物；然而，GRC格式提供了一个激励环境，以传播新的想法，建立新的和继续现有的合作/互动。今年？S项目的41名讨论负责人和演讲者中有19人是女性和/或来自代表性不足的少数群体；6人是助理教授。除了申请者的申请日期和科学背景外，从申请者人才库中挑选与会者将遵循对少数群体、妇女和初级科学家采取扶持行动的原则。

ID: MPS/DMR/BMAT(7623) 1108459 PI: Wong, Joyce ORG: Boston UniversityTitle: 2011 Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering Gordon Research ConferenceINTELLECTUAL MERIT: Biomaterials- and tissue engineering-based strategies and approaches are central for the successful performance of numerous biomedical devices. The theme of the 2011 Gordon Research Conference on Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering is ?The Path from Basic Science and Engineering to Translational Medicine.? It focuses on applying basic science and engineering principles in diverse settings including developmental biology, materials science, and nanotechnology with the goal of solving important clinically relevant biomedical problems. The program will provide a cutting-edge scientific program and discussion forum that focuses on specific fundamental and applied science and engineering challenges that, when overcome, will facilitate the translation of biomaterials and tissue engineering technologies to clinical medicine. The program serves both to educate the biomaterials and tissue engineering communities in the highly relevant field of developmental biology and to stimulate discussion in current approaches from both materials science and engineering and biological perspectives.BROADER IMPACTS: In the spirit of the Gordon Research Conferences, this conference seeks to bring together speakers and discussion leaders at the forefront of their field with other prominent investigators, junior attendees, and researchers from underrepresented groups. This diverse group of speakers, discussion leaders, and poster presenters who represent different fields of study (e.g. clinical investigators, basic scientists and engineers, and industrial researchers) can contribute to the advancement of the field of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Such interactions are critical for building research networks for researchers at all stages of their career and play a key role in developing future leaders in the field of biomaterials science and engineering. The discussion leaders and speakers were selected to represent the gender, ethnic, and cultural (i.e. researchers from non-US institutions ? 6 non-US countries represented) diversity in the biomaterials and tissue engineering fields. In accordance with Gordon Research Conference policies, there are no formal publications; however, the GRC format provides a stimulating environment to disseminate new ideas and to establish new and continue existing collaborations/interactions. This year?s program has 19 out of 41 discussion leaders and speakers who are women and/or from underrepresented minority groups; 6 are assistant professors. Selection of attendees from the pool of applicants will adhere to principles of affirmative action with respect to minority groups, women, and junior scientists in addition to the date of application and the scientific background of the applicant.
