1213201ZauscherBiointerface Science is an area of research experiencing explosive growth. The 2012 Biointerface Science GRC, organized by Dr. Wolfgang Knoll (Chair) and Dr. Stefan Zauscher (Vice Chair), seeks to capture the excitement of this burgeoning field by a cutting-edge scientific program and roster of distinguished invited speakers and discussion leaders who will present the latest research results in Biointerface Science.Intellectual Merit:The 2012 GRC on Biointerface Science aims at bringing together scientists and engineers that work (and learn) in the diverse fields of physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, materials science, diagnostics, medicine, and environmental technologies. By presenting and discussing the latest fundamental research results dealing with the interactions between biomolecules of different chemical nature and origin and surfaces of various materials, this GRC will try to bridge the gap and enhance the intellectual interaction between molecular/cellular biology and the medical disciplines on the one side, and the physical and chemical sciences on the other side.This cross-disciplinary dialog is expected to enhance the quantitative understanding of the molecular mechanisms that govern the response of complex macromolecular and/or biological systems when exposed to artificial surfaces and devices. By integrating engineers and materials experts into the discussion, the GRC on Biointerface Science will contribute to the translation of the developed biomolecular concepts into the world of applications, e.g., biomedical devices,and sensors that are urgently needed for diagnostic strategies and new medical treatments of human diseases.New in 2012 is the Gordon Research Seminar on Biointerface Science, which is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education, to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas related to Biointerface Science. The GRS meeting will immediately precede the GRC. By inviting young scientists and students to the GRC we also hope to engage them in the GRS and to contribute to a paradigm shift in the way we train our young colleagues at the intersection of the natural sciences,medicine and engineering. By providing support for this GRC, the NSF will facilitate the interaction of physical scientists, engineers, biologists and medical scientists in this unique scientific forum that will positively impact the direction of this young field and lead to important advances in the understanding of biointerfacial problems, and the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.Broader Impact:The Gordon Research Conference organization has a strong commitment to supporting diversity in the sciences. In the 2012 preliminary program 7 speakers/discussion leaders are women. There are likely to be many more women/minority attendees selected from among those submitting applications. The organizers will further strive to ensure that women, underrepresented and disabled participants will be offered opportunities to attend the meeting. Attendees will be selected from the applicant pool in order to represent a cross-section of researchers working in this area, and with a view toward expanding the community to include scientists working in related fields. Efforts will be made to represent the gender and racial diversity characteristic of the researchers working in this area. Leading scientists and engineers from companies working in the Biointerface Science area will also be recruited to participate. With the help of this grant and other financial resources, the conference chairs will accept a number of junior investigators, postdocs and graduate students and offer them registration and travel support (goal of 10 or more from pooled sponsor resources). The supplements will be decided based on a "state,emt of purpose" to attend the conference and financial need and affirmative action metrics.

1213201 Zauscher生物界面科学是一个研究领域经历爆炸性增长。2012年生物界面科学GRC，由Wolfgang Knoll博士（主席）和Stefan Zauscher博士组织（副主席），旨在通过一个尖端的科学计划和杰出的特邀演讲者和讨论领导人名单来捕捉这个新兴领域的兴奋，他们将展示生物界面科学的最新研究成果。2012年生物界面科学研讨会旨在汇集科学家和工程师，（和学习）在物理，化学，生物学，生物技术，材料科学，诊断学，医学和环境技术的不同领域。通过展示和讨论不同化学性质和来源的生物分子与各种材料表面之间相互作用的最新基础研究成果，该研讨会将试图弥合分子/细胞生物学与医学学科之间的差距，并加强两者之间的智力互动，这一跨学科的对话有望加强对复杂大分子和/或聚合物反应的分子机制的定量理解。或生物系统暴露于人造表面和装置时。通过将工程师和材料专家纳入讨论，生物界面科学GRC将有助于将开发的生物分子概念转化为应用世界，例如，2012年新的戈登生物界面科学研讨会是一个独特的论坛，为研究生、博士后和其他具有可比经验和教育水平的科学家提供和交流与生物界面科学相关的新数据和前沿思想。GRS会议将在GRC会议之前举行。通过邀请年轻科学家和学生参加GRC，我们也希望让他们参与GRS，并为我们在自然科学，医学和工程交叉领域培养年轻同事的方式转变做出贡献。通过为这个研讨会提供支持，NSF将促进物理科学家、工程师、生物学家和医学科学家在这个独特的科学论坛上的互动，这将对这个年轻领域的发展方向产生积极影响，并在生物界面问题的理解以及人类疾病的诊断和治疗方面取得重要进展。更广泛的影响：戈登研究会议组织坚定地致力于支持科学的多样性。 在2012年初步方案中，7名发言人/讨论领导人是妇女。 可能会有更多的妇女/少数民族与会者从提交申请的人中选出。组织者将进一步努力确保向妇女、代表人数不足的人和残疾人与会者提供出席会议的机会。与会者将从申请人中选出，以代表在这一领域工作的研究人员的横截面，并着眼于扩大社区，包括在相关领域工作的科学家。将努力体现在这一领域工作的研究人员的性别和种族多样性特点。来自生物界面科学领域公司的顶尖科学家和工程师也将被招募参加。在这笔赠款和其他财政资源的帮助下，会议主席将接受一些初级研究人员，博士后和研究生，并为他们提供注册和旅行支持（目标是从汇集的赞助商资源中获得10个或更多）。补助金将根据参加会议的“国家、目的、经济需要和平权行动指标”来决定。
