Integration of Biomaterials with Organic Electronics

该奖项由材料研究学会(MRS)材料研究分部的生物材料计划颁发，为2013年秋季MRS会议研讨会提供部分资金，主题为“生物材料与有机电子的集成”。本次研讨会将是一个讨论生物材料、电子材料及其工程应用最新进展的综合论坛，旨在通过互动将这三个领域结合在一起。此外，本次研讨会将包括口头和海报演示，重点是生物材料和有机材料与神经工程和细胞现象的协同整合，以解决未得到满足的需求。被邀请的演讲者被广泛认为是各自领域的领导者，并将发表具有广泛科学吸引力的重点演讲。将特别注意制定多样化的方案，包括代表性不足的群体的参与、国际参与和广泛的跨学科。该奖项对本次研讨会的部分资助将支持本科生和研究生参加本次会议。本次研讨会的科学影响范围更广，将向各级研究人员通报在非传统电子学和生物医学应用之间的研究领域中未得到满足的需求和新出现的机会。研讨会提供了一个论坛，材料研究人员，包括在生物材料和有机电子材料领域工作的学生，将报告该领域的最新进展。从国家科学基金会申请的资金将支持本科生和研究生的出席，他们将在研讨会上做口头和海报演讲，并将在会议期间与各自领域的领导人互动。

This award by the Biomaterials program in the Division of Materials Research to Materials Research Society (MRS) provides partial funding for the 2013 Fall MRS Meeting Symposium titled "Integration of Biomaterials with Organic Electronics." This Symposium will be an integrated forum for a discussion of the most recent advances in Biomaterials, Electronic Materials and their engineering applications, and aims to integrate all three areas through interactions. In addition, this symposium will consist of oral and poster presentations with a focus on synergistic integration of biomaterials and organic materials with neural engineering and cellular phenomena to address unmet needs. The invited speakers are widely recognized as leaders in their fields and will deliver focused lectures with broad scientific appeal. Special attention will be devoted to the development of a diverse program including the participation of under-represented groups, international participation, and broad interdisciplinarity. The partial funding of this Symposium by this award will support the participation of undergraduate and graduate students at this MRS meeting.The scientific broader impact of this symposium will be to inform investigators at all levels about the unmet needs and emerging opportunities in the areas of research at the interface between non-conventional electronics and biomedical applications. The symposium provides a forum in which materials researchers including students working in the areas of biomaterials and organic electronic materials will report on recent advances in the field. The funds requested from NSF will support the attendance of both undergraduate and graduate students, who will make oral and poster presentations at the Symposium, and will be interacting with leaders in their fields during the meeting.
