Abstract1212234, KhineIntellectual Merits: Micro- and nanotechnologies have emerged to become one of the most ?game changing? fields in science over the past few decades. In particular the ability to control and manipulate matter at small length scales has already led to major advances in a range of different areas such as microelectronics, energy, biomedicine and environment. Given the increasing amount of interest in this area the ?Micro- and Nanotechnology in Medicine Conference? (MNMC) aims to bring together leading experts in the area of micro- and nanotechnology to present the latest work on the use of various types of technologies for addressing a range of different challenges that are of importance for biomedicine and education of engineers at the interface of engineering, medicine, and biological sciences. This conference will be held in Hawaii, on Dec 2-6, 2012. The conference organizers have partnered with IEEE-EMBS (IEEE- Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society), one of the leading societies at the interface between engineering, biology and medicine, to present a program that is highly rich in both intellectual merit as well as educational opportunities. In particular the conference brings together students from various academic institutions with world leading experts in a small and intimate setting that will enable ample opportunities to network and learn. The conference will focus on a number of unique areas that are highly inter-related yet not fully put together in a similar program. These areas include fundamental science of micro- and nanofluidics and small matter to applications in engineering the environment of cells using various ?small-scale? technologies, developing devices to detect and analyze molecules for biosensing and global health applications. Another unique aspect of the conference is the involvement of people from companies. The proposed conference will generate a range of opportunities for students and young investigators to learn about the process of developing and commercializing a technology from industry speakers.Broader Impacts:The potential impact of this proposed MNMC is far-reaching. Because this conference combines fundamentals of micro and nano science and engineering with their applications in medicine, it will catalyze conversations between otherwise disparate fields. Various biomedical grand challenges facing our society and the world can be addressed in part or in whole by interfacing biology and medicine with nanotechnology. By drawing leaders from each of these fields together to discuss ways of addressing important medical issues with the most cutting edge technology in an intimate venue, it will enable progress at the interface of science, engineering, and medicine. To maximize the broader impact of such a promising conference, several approaches are proposed to raise awareness, with the larger scientific community as well as engage participation by under-represented minorities by hosting:1. Workshops for students to engage more intimately with thought leaders. Students can get to know leaders in the field through workshops to help guide and further their careers. Having access to mentors is a critical component for a successful education, and therefore providing a forum to engage mentor and student interactions would help facilitate this.2. Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine Panel Luncheon. With still so few women in engineering and science, a panel luncheon in which women can learn from established role models as well as open a dialogue on how to best attract and engage women in these burgeoning fields is needed.3. Best poster awards for undergraduates and for graduate students. poster competitions will be held to encourage the highest quality research and presentation at the undergraduate as well as at the graduate level.4. Travel grants for US students. These grants will enable students who otherwise cannot afford to come to participate in this conference. The grants will be distributed based on merit (quality of paper submission) with consideration for inclusion of under-represented minorities and women.

摘要1212234，KineIntellectual Merits：微米和纳米技术已经成为最重要的？改变游戏规则在过去的几十年里，科学领域。特别是在小尺度上控制和操纵物质的能力已经导致了微电子、能源、生物医学和环境等一系列不同领域的重大进展。鉴于对这一领域的兴趣日益增加，？医学中的微纳米技术会议？（MNMC）旨在汇集微和纳米技术领域的领先专家，介绍使用各种技术解决一系列不同挑战的最新工作，这些挑战对工程，医学和生物科学界面的生物医学和工程师教育至关重要。本次会议将于2012年12月2日至6日在夏威夷举行。会议组织者与IEEE-EMBS（IEEE-医学和生物学工程协会）合作，该协会是工程，生物学和医学之间接口的领先协会之一，提供了一个在智力价值和教育机会方面都非常丰富的计划。特别是会议汇集了来自不同学术机构的学生与世界领先的专家在一个小而亲密的环境，这将使充分的机会，网络和学习。会议将重点关注一些高度相关但尚未完全放在类似计划中的独特领域。这些领域包括基础科学的微和纳米流体和小物质的应用工程环境的细胞使用各种？小规模？技术，开发用于生物传感和全球健康应用的检测和分析分子的设备。会议的另一个独特之处是来自公司的人的参与。拟议的会议将为学生和年轻的研究人员提供一系列机会，让他们从行业演讲者那里了解技术开发和商业化的过程。更广泛的影响：拟议的MNMC的潜在影响是深远的。因为这次会议结合了微米和纳米科学与工程的基础知识及其在医学中的应用，它将促进不同领域之间的对话。我们的社会和世界所面临的各种生物医学的重大挑战可以通过将生物学和医学与纳米技术相结合来部分或全部解决。通过将这些领域的领导者聚集在一起，讨论如何在一个亲密的场所用最前沿的技术解决重要的医疗问题，它将使科学，工程和医学的界面取得进展。为了最大限度地扩大这样一个有希望的会议的广泛影响，提出了几种方法来提高认识，与更大的科学界以及通过主办来吸引代表性不足的少数群体的参与：1。为学生举办研讨会，让他们与思想领袖更亲密地接触。学生可以通过研讨会了解该领域的领导者，以帮助指导和促进他们的职业生涯。获得导师是成功教育的关键组成部分，因此，提供一个论坛来进行导师和学生的互动将有助于促进这一点。妇女在科学，工程和医学小组午餐会。由于工程和科学领域的女性仍然很少，因此需要举办一次小组午餐会，让女性可以向既定的榜样学习，并就如何最好地吸引和吸引女性进入这些新兴领域展开对话。本科生和研究生最佳海报奖。将举行海报比赛，以鼓励本科生和研究生进行最高质量的研究和演讲。为美国学生提供旅行赠款。这些赠款将使那些否则无法参加这次会议的学生。赠款将根据成绩（提交论文的质量）分配，并考虑到代表性不足的少数民族和妇女。
