The objective of this application is to seek NSF support for the 2nd inaugural joint BiomedicalEngineering Society (BMES) and the Society for Physical Regulation in Biology and Medicine(SPRBM) Conference on Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) (30th SPRBM AnnualScientific Conference) (short: 2nd BMES-SPRBM Conference on CMBE). The first joint conference(2011) on the specific theme of Molecular Imaging and Mechanotransduction was extremelysuccessful. This joint CMBE conference (2012) will expand the scope and be focused the theme ofCell Motility, Matrix, Mechanobiology and Regeneration. As a rising science field the cellular andmolecular bioengineering became possible to culture and engineer cells outside the body, andprovide intrinsic insights for their role in regeneration. In the mean time, the elucidation of thecellular and molecular basis of life became one of the great achievements of the twentieth century,culminating in the complete sequencing of the human genome. Today we stand in the midst of anamazing convergence, which has created a nexus for bioengineers. Both the BMES and theSPRBM realized that research at this remarkable nexus, Now, the inaugural joint BMES-SPRBMConference on CBME is the beginning of a new focus of the promising subfield in biomedicalengineering and much needed forum for this exciting field.Intellectual merit: The explosions of cellular motility, cellular/molecular functional matrix and therole of mechanobiology and regeneration such as extracellular matrix and the manipulations in vitroand in vivo enables new fundamental regeneration at the cellular and molecular level, as well asproviding new monitoring modalities in vivo. Therefore, these lead to the exciting theme of theinaugural BMES-SPRBM joint Conference on CMBE. This application will be first is to providesupport to young and junior researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students whosesubmitted papers have been selected for podium presentation on the basis of scientific merits, andpromote minority and women scientists in the field; and second to foster the emergence and growthof the exciting sub-filed of CMBE. The abstracts will be published in a Conference Proceeding, andselected full length papers will be published in a special issue of Cellular and MolecularBioengineering.The specific aims of this meeting are: (1) delineate the current status of cellular and molecularmotility, matrix, mechanobiology and regeneration, in which leaders from the CMBE fields will givean overview of cellular molecular motility, functional matrix concepts and review the current state ofmechanobiology and adaptation, as well as their research in molecular/cellular/tissue/ functions andtissue/organ regeneration; (2) brainstorm the emerging field of CMBE with a focus on the role ofcellular/molecular mechanics, motility, functional matrix and mechanotransduction with regenerationpotentials, which the outcome will be published in a special issue of CMBE; (3) provide trainingworkshop for junior faculty, investigators, and students on grant writing and opportunities; and (4)environment setting. The conference program will include Podium Sessions with invited Keynotespeakers and other invited speakers. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and juniorinvestigators will also be encouraged to submit abstracts. These abstracts will be organized into aposter session with cheese/wine receptions. Nine graduate students/postdoctoral fellows will beselected by the organizing committee to present short talks and six-eight junior investigators will beselected for a Young and Rising Star session.Broad impacts: The rise of engineering in the twentieth century led to profound change forhumankind. The advances in biology are equally amazing. It became possible to culture andengineer cells outside the body, and provide intrinsic insights for their role in regeneration. The roleof mechanical modulation of cell functions has been an intensive focus in modern biology andbioengineering. The explosions of cellular motility, cellular/molecular functional matrix and the roleof mechanobiology and regeneration enables new fundamental regeneration at the cellular andmolecular level, as well as providing new monitoring modalities in vivo and in patients.

本申请的目的是寻求NSF支持第二届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30届SPRBM年度科学会议）（简称：第二届BMES-SPRBM CMBE会议）。第一次联合会议（2011年）的特定主题的分子成像和机械转导是非常成功的。这次联合CMBE会议（2012年）将扩大范围，并集中在细胞运动，基质，机械生物学和再生的主题。作为一门新兴的科学领域，细胞和分子生物工程使体外培养和工程化细胞成为可能，并为它们在再生中的作用提供内在的见解。与此同时，对生命细胞和分子基础的阐明成为二十世纪的伟大成就之一，并以人类基因组的完整测序而达到顶峰。今天，我们正处于一个惊人的融合之中，这为生物工程师创造了一个联系。BMES和thesPRBM都意识到，在这个显着的联系，研究，现在，首届联合BMES-SPRBM会议CBME是一个新的重点，在生物医学工程和急需的论坛，这个令人兴奋的领域的前景子领域的开始。智力优点：细胞活力的爆发，细胞/分子功能基质和机械生物学和再生的作用，如细胞外基质和体外和体内的操纵，使新的在细胞和分子水平的基本再生，以及提供新的监测模式在体内。因此，这些导致了首届BMES-SPRBM CMBE联合会议的令人兴奋的主题。这项申请将首先是提供支持，以年轻和初级研究人员，博士后研究员和研究生谁提交的论文已被选定为讲台上的基础上，科学的优点，并促进少数民族和妇女科学家在该领域;和第二，促进CMBE的出现和增长的令人兴奋的子领域。论文摘要将发表在《会议论文集》上，精选的全文论文将发表在《细胞与分子生物工程》的特刊上。本次会议的具体目标是：（1）描述细胞和分子运动、基质、机械生物学和再生的现状，其中来自CMBE领域的领导者将概述细胞分子运动，功能矩阵的概念和评论的机械生物学和适应的现状，以及他们在分子/细胞/组织/功能和组织/器官再生的研究;（2）集体讨论CMBE的新兴领域，重点是细胞/分子力学，运动，功能矩阵和机械转导与再生潜力，其结果将发表在CMBE的特刊;（3）为初级教师，研究人员和学生提供培训工作坊，以获得资助和机会;（4）环境设置。会议计划将包括邀请主旨演讲者和其他受邀演讲者的讲台会议。研究生、博士后研究员和初级研究人员也将被鼓励提交摘要。这些摘要将被组织成一个海报会议与奶酪/葡萄酒招待会。9名研究生/博士后研究员将由组委会选出进行简短的演讲，6 - 8名初级研究员将被选为年轻和冉冉升起的星星会议。广泛的影响：工程学在二十世纪的兴起导致了人类的深刻变化。生物学的进步同样令人惊叹。在体外培养和改造细胞成为可能，并为它们在再生中的作用提供内在的见解。细胞功能的机械调节作用一直是现代生物学和生物工程的焦点。细胞运动性、细胞/分子功能基质以及机械生物学和再生作用的爆发使得在细胞和分子水平上能够实现新的基本再生，并提供新的体内和患者监测模式。
