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

该奖项为参加生物医学工程学会（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/研究员和年轻独立研究者（新星）提供旅行奖励；2016年1月6日至10日，路易斯安那州新奥尔良。先进生物制造是一个新兴领域，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，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需要对机械生物学有更深入的了解，才能生产出合适的产品。支持年轻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年会议的先进制造主题与生物力学和机械生物学项目的使命有关，也直接符合生物医学工程的使命，这在一定程度上支持了这一要求。组委会将选出研究生/博士后获得学生/研究员奖，并进行简短的演讲，这些演讲将纳入会议。此外，将在会议第一天举行的“新星特别会议”上，选拔初级特检官，展示他们的工作成果。该奖项将用于为学生、博士后研究员、年轻研究者（新星）和未被充分代表的少数群体提供部分支持。

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.
