Abstract1205103, BettingerIntellectual MeritThe application of flexible and nonconventional electronics to biomedical engineering has the potential to transform both disciplines. First, flexible devices may be used to unlock mysteries of biological systems at various levels. This symposium provides a great opportunity for scientists and engineers from around the world, and from many different disciplines to share their results and insights in the field of nonconventional electronics with a specific focus on the application of these devices to biomedical engineering. As compared to other symposia on flexible electronics, this unique effort will focus on synergistic interactions with neural engineering and cellular phenomena to address unmet needs. Existing symposia are firmly grounded in either the field of biomaterials, organic electronics, or devices. However, this symposium aims to integrate all three through rich interactions. The NSF funding will increase the affordability of the meeting for oral and poster presenters, who consist mainly of young and emerging investigators in the field with a strong focus on participation by students and postdoctoral researchers.Broader ImpactThis NSF funding will allow the student attendees to become familiar with state of the art in micro-systems, structures, and devices for modulating cell function and medical devices. Specifically, research groups across the country will be encouraged to support undergraduate participation in the poster sessions, as a means of exposing students to a high level of research at an early age. This symposium will also inform investigators at all levels about the unmet needs and emerging opportunities in the areas of research at the inter face between non conventional electronics and biomedical engineering.

摘要1205103，贝廷格智力MeritThe应用灵活和非传统的电子生物医学工程有可能改变这两个学科。首先，柔性装置可用于在各个层面上解开生物系统的奥秘。本次研讨会为来自世界各地的科学家和工程师提供了一个很好的机会，来自许多不同的学科，分享他们在非传统电子领域的成果和见解，特别关注这些设备在生物医学工程中的应用。与其他柔性电子研讨会相比，这一独特的努力将集中在与神经工程和细胞现象的协同作用，以解决未满足的需求。现有的专题讨论会都牢牢地扎根于生物材料，有机电子或设备领域。然而，本次研讨会旨在通过丰富的互动将三者融合在一起。美国国家科学基金会的资助将提高会议的口头和海报演讲者的负担能力，他们主要由该领域的年轻和新兴研究人员组成，重点关注学生和博士后研究人员的参与。更广泛的影响美国国家科学基金会的资助将使学生与会者熟悉最先进的微系统，结构和设备，用于调节细胞功能和医疗设备。具体而言，将鼓励全国各地的研究小组支持本科生参与海报会议，作为让学生在早期接触高水平研究的一种手段。本次研讨会还将告知各级研究人员在非传统电子和生物医学工程之间的接口研究领域未满足的需求和新出现的机会。
