Integration of Biomaterials with Organic Electronics

该奖项由材料研究学会（MRS）材料研究部生物材料项目颁发，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学的整合”。本次研讨会将是一个综合论坛，讨论生物材料、电子材料及其工程应用的最新进展，旨在通过互动将这三个领域整合在一起。此外，本次研讨会将包括口头和海报报告，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，以解决未满足的需求。受邀的演讲者在各自的领域被广泛认为是领导者，并将提供具有广泛科学吸引力的重点讲座。将特别关注发展一个多样化的项目，包括代表性不足的群体的参与、国际参与和广泛的跨学科。本次研讨会的部分经费将用于支持本科生和研究生参加本次MRS会议。本次研讨会的更广泛的科学影响将是告知各级研究人员关于非传统电子和生物医学应用之间的接口研究领域未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NSF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报告，并将在会议期间与各自领域的领导者进行互动。

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.
