Biomedical Engineering Society(BMES) Joint Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering(CMBE) and Advanced Biomanufacturing(ABioM) Conference; New Orleans, Louisiana; January 5-10, 2016

该奖项为2016年1月6日至10日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的生物医学工程学会(BMES)联合细胞和分子生物工程(CMBE)和先进生物制造(ABioM)会议的学生/研究员和年轻的独立研究人员(冉冉升起的新星)提供资金支持。先进生物制造是一个新兴的领域，主要研究用于医药和工业的生物相关产品的制造理论和技术。生物制造的一个主要部分是机械生物学，它与美国国家科学基金会的生物力学和机械生物学计划(BMMB)直接相关。在先进制造业中使用活细胞将需要大大提高对机械生物学的理解，才能生产出合适的产品。支持青年研究人员在这一领域的发展对未来研究的成功至关重要。2016年大会的先进制造主题与生物力学和机械生物学计划的使命有关，也直接符合部分支持这一要求的生物医学工程的使命。研究生/博士后研究员将由组委会挑选接受学生/研究员奖并发表简短演讲，这些演讲将整合到会议中。此外，初级独立调查员将被挑选参加一个特别的后起之秀会议，该会议将在会议的第一天举行，以展示他们的工作。该奖项将用于向学生、博士后研究员、年轻研究人员(后起之秀)和代表性不足的少数族裔提供部分支持。

This award provides funds to support travel awards for student/fellows and young independent investigators (Rising Stars) for the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Joint Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) and Advanced Biomanufacturing (ABioM) Conference; New Orleans, Louisiana Jan. 6-10, 2016. Advanced Biomanufacturing is an emerging field and focuses on studying theories and technologies of manufacturing bio-related products for medicine and industry. A primary part of biomanufacture is mechanobiology, directly relevant to the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology program (BMMB)of the NSF. Using living cells in advanced manufacturing will require a much improved understanding of mechanobiology to produce appropriate products. Supporting the development of young investigators in this area is of fundamental importance to successful future research. The advanced manufacturing theme of the 2016 conference is related to the mission of the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology program and also is directly in line with the mission of Biomedical Engineering which is partially supporting this request. Graduate students/postdoctoral fellows will be selected by the organizing committee to receive Student/Fellow Awards and to present short talks, which will be integrated into the sessions. In addition, the junior independent investigators will be selected for a special Rising Star session, which will take place on the first day of the meeting in order to showcase their work. The award will be used to provide partial support to students, post-doctoral fellows, young investigators (Rising Stars), and under-represented minorities.
