A workforce capable of interacting across national borders is critical, not only to the future health of our economy, but also to continued innovation and leadership in science and technology. NBIC/MINATEC Student Exchange for Research on Nano/Biotechnology will develop a cadre of young scientists with the skills and experience to engage globally in science and engineering research and to do so in the context of a synergistic research platform. The program is a two-way student exchange and research collaboration between the Nano/Bio Interface Center at the University of Pennsylvania (NBIC) and the Micro- and Nanotechnologies Innovation Campus in Grenoble, France (MINATEC). Nanobiotechnology is an inherently multidisciplinary field that addresses fundamental concepts and technological applications of some of the most critical issues of our time. These range from biomedical sensors and targeted drug delivery, to energy harvesting and energy efficiency, to monitoring and remediation of air and water quality. Educating students in the fundamental principles of nanobiotechnology prepares them to contribute across boundaries in these evolving fields. A partnership with Alabama State University will extend these opportunities to its diverse student population.Intellectual MeritThe intellectual merit of this program is based on the increased understanding of fundamental issues that will result from the research. Specifically, the electron transport mechanisms in new DNA hybrid nanostructures, the effect of surfaces on cell and protein interactions, and the behavior of biological colloids in fluidic environments. The ability to understand and control these processes will enable new strategies for biomolecular electronics, biosensors, and medical therapeutics.Broader ImpactsThe broader impacts of this program are several fold. A new population of students will be trained in the cross-disciplinary field of nano biotechnology. These students will have developed the additional skills necessary to interact effectively in a multi-cultural global environment. Furthermore, the recruitment strategy and partnerships will lead to a diverse student group with the skills to take leadership positions in a variety of career paths.This project is supported by NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) and the NSF Directorate for Engineering (ENG), Office of the Assistant Director (OAD), and the Engineering and Education Centers (EEC).

一支能够跨越国界进行互动的劳动力队伍不仅对我们经济的未来健康发展至关重要，而且对科学技术的持续创新和领导地位也至关重要。NBIC/MINATEC学生交流纳米/生物技术研究将培养一批年轻科学家，他们具有在全球范围内从事科学和工程研究的技能和经验，并在协同研究平台的背景下这样做。该计划是宾夕法尼亚大学纳米/生物界面中心（NBIC）和法国格勒诺布尔的微型和纳米技术创新校园（MINATEC）之间的双向学生交流和研究合作。纳米生物技术是一个固有的多学科领域，解决了我们这个时代一些最关键问题的基本概念和技术应用。这些领域包括生物医学传感器和靶向药物输送，能源收集和能源效率，以及空气和水质的监测和修复。教育学生在纳米生物技术的基本原则准备他们在这些不断发展的领域跨越边界作出贡献。与亚拉巴马州立大学的合作伙伴关系将扩大这些机会，以其多样化的学生群体。智力优点这个计划的智力优点是基于对基本问题的理解，将导致从研究增加。具体而言，新的DNA混合纳米结构中的电子传输机制，表面对细胞和蛋白质相互作用的影响，以及生物胶体在流体环境中的行为。理解和控制这些过程的能力将为生物分子电子学、生物传感器和医疗疗法带来新的策略。更广泛的影响该计划的更广泛的影响是多重的。一个新的学生群体将在纳米生物技术的跨学科领域进行培训。这些学生将发展必要的额外技能，在一个多元文化的全球环境中有效地互动。此外，招聘策略和合作伙伴关系将导致一个多元化的学生群体的技能，采取在各种职业道路的领导地位。该项目是由NSF的国际科学和工程办公室（OISE）和NSF董事会工程（ENG），助理主任办公室（OAD）和工程和教育中心（EEC）的支持。
