Workshop: Advanced Biomanufacturing to be held in Washington D.C. on July 25-26, 2013

概述：生物制造研讨会将确定生物制造领域的需求和障碍，包括研究、规模和实施、进一步的技术创新以及监管和成本问题。研讨会将汇集该领域的领导者，包括学者、政府官员、行业代表，讨论和确定与生物制造相关的关键问题和挑战。为了实现这些目标，研讨会将以互动和迭代的方式进行，会议领导人将被要求准备主要主题的研讨会前大纲，然后向与会者发表这些主题。这一努力的愿景是将生物制造视为学术界和工业界的新兴学科，以及刺激研究和工业增长的技术机会。为了实现这一愿景，我们必须评估当前该领域的最先进技术在哪里，实现这一愿景的道路是什么，并确定这条道路上的主要障碍。这些需求将包括所涉及的科学和工程、管理和基础设施需求以及所需的系统基础设施和集成。研讨会的结果将是一份报告，该报告提供了一份详细的路线图，说明当前生物制造领域的最新技术，推动该领域发展的主要障碍是什么，并确定了一些主要目标和机会。将描述对美国基础设施的潜在影响，并在社区建立网络。智力价值：智力价值将主要体现在结合对生物制造领域的见解，包括当前的科学水平、技术影响和该领域的未来愿景。这一见解将成为推动该领域在未来几年向前发展的基础，从而对美国经济产生直接影响。更广泛的影响:研讨会更广泛的影响将是确定科学和技术界在这一新兴领域面临的关键挑战，对满足各级学生跨学科需求的更广泛的教育活动产生影响，为美国国家科学基金会提供未来影响方向的指导，为各级政府官员提供美国未来增长需求的洞察力，以支持就业、制造业和未来的技术领先地位。以及对自然与工程之间独特的交叉点的广泛和新的见解，这些交叉点仍有待开发和利用，以实现可持续发展的地球。结果和相关材料的出版将为公众和相关场所提供信息。

Program ID 1346406PI: KaplanOverview: A Workshop on biomanufacturing will identify the needs and barriers in the field of biomanufacturing, including research, scale up and implementation, further technological innovation and regulatory and cost issues. The Workshop will bring together leaders in the field, including scholars, government officials, industry representatives to discuss and identify critical issues and challenges related to biomanufacturing. To address these goals, the workshop will be run in an interactive and iterative approach where session leaders will be asked to prepare pre-workshop outlines of major topics and then address these to the attendees. The vision for this effort is to see biomanufacturing as an emerging discipline in academic and industrial communities, as well as a technological opportunity to spur research and industry growth. To navigate to this vision, we must assess where the state-of-the-art is currently located for the field, what the paths are to move forward to reach the vision, and to identify the major barriers along this path. These needs will encompass the science and engineering involved, the regulatory and infrastructure needs and the systems infrastructure and integration required. The outcome from the workshop will be a report that provides a detailed road map of where the current state-of-the art is in terms of biomanufacturing, what the major barriers are to move the field ahead, and identifies some of the major targets and opportunities. The potential impact on US infrastructure will be described and a network in the community will be established.Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit will mainly be in coalescing insight into the field of biomanufacturing in terms of the current scientific state of the art, the technological implications and the future vision for the field. This insight will be a foundation upon which to propel the field ahead in the coming years towards direct impact for the US economy.Broader Impacts: The broader impact of the Workshop will be the identification of critical challenges for the scientific and technological communities for this emerging field, impact on the broader educational activities for interdisciplinary needs for students at all levels, guidance for the NSF in terms of future directions of impact, insight for government officials at all levels of future needs for growth in the US to support jobs, manufacturing and future technological leadership, and broad and new insight into the unique intersections between nature and engineering that remain to be tapped and exploited for a sustainable planet. Publication of outcomes and related materials will inform the general community and related venues.
