Symposium: Prof. John Chato Memorial Symposium on Progress and Challenges in Biotransport at 2011 Summer Bioengineering Conference in Farmington, Pennsylvania - June 22-25, 2011

提案ID：1128490 PI：路易斯安那州立大学Ram V. Devireddy作为2011年夏季生物工程会议的一部分，拟议在宾夕法尼亚州法明顿举行的研讨会将为研究人员、教育工作者和研究生提供一个场所，以确定与生物运输有关的挑战和机遇。本次研讨会将突出和荣誉的贡献教授约翰查托的生物传热领域和他的指导青年研究人员在他漫长而富有成效的职业生涯。研讨会的主题包括但不限于：（1）生物传热模型，（2）生物材料热物理性能测量和（3）优化热疗法。智力奖：该奖项为大约2名主题演讲者和10名学生参加研讨会提供支持。议程将包括技术介绍和小组会议，最终在档案审查文章确定有关生物运输的具体科学和工程挑战。更广泛的影响：研讨会的主题广泛适用于一系列生物迁移问题。由于运输过程在生命的每个阶段都会影响生物学和医学，因此对其进行分析将有助于创新和优化诊断和治疗干预措施。 赠款的广泛影响是使学生和早期职业科学家能够参加专题讨论会，从而为下一代科学家提供教育和培训机会。

Proposal ID: 1128490PI: Ram V. Devireddy, Louisiana State UniversityThe proposed symposium to be held in Farmington, Pennsylvania as part of the 2011 Summer Bioengineering conference, will provide a venue for researchers, educators and graduate students to identify challenges and opportunities pertaining to biotransport. This symposium will highlight and honor the contributions of Prof. John Chato to the field of bioheat transfer and his mentoring of young researchers over his long and fruitful career. Topics for the symposium include but are not limited to: (1) bioheat transfer models, (2) biomaterial thermophysical property measurements and (3) optimizing thermal therapies. Intellectual Merit: This award provides support for approximately 2 keynote speakers and 10 students to attend the workshop. The agenda will include technical presentations and panel sessions culminating in archival review article identifying specific scientific and engineering challenges pertaining to biotransport. Broader Impacts: The workshop topic has broad application to a wide array of biological transport problems. Since, transport processes impact biology and medicine at every stage of life, their analysis will serve to innovate and optimize diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. The broad impacts of the grant are in enabling the participation of students and early career scientists in the symposium, thereby providing the education and training opportunities for next generation scientists.
