This award by the Biomaterials program in the Division of Materials Research to Clemson Univerity is to provide student support to attend the conference titled "Frontiers in Biomagnetic Particles IV" in Telluride, Colorado. The focus of this three-day symposium is on the synthesis, characterization and control of biomagnetic nanomaterials as carriers with a wide range of biomedical, environmental and industrial applications. This international event will bring scientists, engineers and biomedical professionals together, and they will present their recent studies and results, and discuss this rapidly growing and highly interdisciplinary field. The symposium builds upon earlier three successful conferences organized by these investigators. The broader impact goal of this proposal is to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minority students in science and engineering areas. This travel support would provide them with a unique opportunity in interacting and networking with other scientists outside of their normal educational experiences. Additionally, the organizers would make every effort to have at least 50% women and minority students as session chairs in leading the discussion on the research topics being presented at the conference.Magnetic particles are an enabling technology for a wide variety of biomedical, chemical, electronic, and functional materials applications, and these particles are expected to provide a unique handle in manipulating and sensing nanostructures. Since this field would greatly benefit from multidisciplinary interactions from chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers, the main goal of this conference would be to create a technical and professional environment in which participants from diverse disciplines could interact. This conference will be designed to discuss recent trends and activities related to biomagnetic nanoparticles and initiation of future collaborations among the attendees. Biomagnetic nanoparticles are unique materials, properties of which could be controlled, transported and imaged using external fields. Four specific topic areas will be highlighted at this conference: a) Biosensors and imaging; b) Biomagnetic separations and transport; c) Biomedical applications such as drug delivery; and d) Career and professional development opportunities for students.

该奖项由克莱姆森大学材料研究部的生物材料项目颁发，旨在为学生提供支持，以参加在科罗拉多特柳赖德举行的题为“生物磁性颗粒IV前沿”的会议。这个为期三天的研讨会的重点是合成，表征和控制生物磁性纳米材料作为载体，具有广泛的生物医学，环境和工业应用。这次国际活动将汇集科学家，工程师和生物医学专业人士，他们将展示他们最近的研究和成果，并讨论这个快速发展和高度跨学科的领域。这次研讨会是在这些研究人员组织的前三次成功会议的基础上举行的。这项建议的更广泛影响目标是增加妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生在科学和工程领域的参与。这种旅行支持将为他们提供一个独特的机会，在他们正常的教育经验之外与其他科学家互动和建立网络。此外，主办方将尽一切努力，至少有50%的女性和少数民族学生担任会议主席，领导会议上提出的研究课题的讨论。磁性粒子是一种使各种生物医学，化学，电子和功能材料应用的技术，这些粒子预计将提供一个独特的处理操纵和传感纳米结构。由于这一领域将大大受益于化学家，生物学家，物理学家和工程师的多学科互动，本次会议的主要目标将是创造一个技术和专业环境，来自不同学科的参与者可以互动。本次会议将讨论与生物磁性纳米颗粒相关的最新趋势和活动，并启动与会者之间的未来合作。生物磁性纳米颗粒是一种独特的材料，其性质可以通过外场来控制、传输和成像。本次会议将重点讨论四个具体的主题领域：a）生物传感器和成像; B）生物磁分离和运输; c）生物医学应用，如药物输送; d）学生的职业和专业发展机会。
