International Summer School on Biocomplexity, Biodesign and Bioinnovation

1630471-AkayNSF为15名将参加国际生物复杂性、生物设计和生物创新暑期学校的大四本科生和研究生的旅费提供支持，该暑期学校将于2016年6月26日至7月2日在土耳其伊兹密尔的多库兹艾吕尔大学举行。暑期学校接待了6名特邀教职员工，预计有30人参加。出席者仅限于工程、计算机科学、数学和生物科学专业的学生，他们有必要的数学课程来理解讲座内容，并参与讨论和小组讨论。NSF旅行奖学金将根据候选人的科学资历(包括他们的学术地位和研究的相关性、职业目标和经济需要)在竞争的基础上颁发。该教育计划的主要目标是让本科生和研究生接触到Bionano传感器、生物电子医学、Biophma工程和技术以及医疗创业等相对较新的方法。这些主题将有助于计算机科学和数学的本科生和研究生，他们有兴趣从事生物学、生物分子工程和生物工程的研究。暑期班通过讲座(专家教员30人)和小组讨论(由教员和参与者领导)来促进进一步的跨学科研究以及工程师、数学家、计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间的合作。这些活动将有助于在复杂的生物科学和生物工程研究中确定新的、具有挑战性的方向。会议的目标，包括强调学生参与，与化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统(CBET)分部支持的项目非常匹配。

1630471-AkayNSF has made an award in support of travel expenses of 15 senior undergraduate and graduate students who will be attending the International Biocomplexity, Biodesign and Bioinnovation Summer School being held at Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey, June 26-July 2, 2016. The Summer School hosts 6 invited faculty members and an anticipated 30 attendees. Attendance is limited to engineering, computer science, mathematics and biological science students who have the necessary math courses to understand the lectures and participate in discussions and panels. The NSF travel fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis based on the scientific credentials of the candidates including their academic standing and relevance of their research, career goals and financial necessity. The main objective of the education program is to expose undergraduate and graduate biological science and bioengineering students to the relatively new approaches of Bionano Sensors, Bioelectronics Medicine, Biopharma Engineering and Technology and Healthcare Entrepreneurship. These topics will be helpful to undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and mathematics who are interested in pursuing research in biology, biomolecular engineering and bioengineering. The summer school uses lectures (30 by expert faculty) and panel discussions (led by faculty and participants) to stimulate further interdisciplinary research and collaborations among engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and medical researchers. Activities will help in identify new, challenging directions in complex biological science and bioengineering research. The goals of the conference, including the emphasis on student participation, are well matched to programs supported by the Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (CBET) Division.
