CBET - 1664331PI: Di Carlo, DinoThis award will provide partial support for young US researchers to attend the ninth Gordon Research Conference on the physics and chemistry of microfluidics, which will be held June 3 - 9, 2017 in Lucca, Italy. Microfluidics refers to fluid handling and chemical processing on micro- and nanoscale dimensions, which, in many cases, provide significant advantages to large scale processing. Microfluidics can be used to automate complex processes, to perform chemical reactions and separations in arrays of channels, to speed up bioanalytical processes, to process ultra-small sample volumes, to maintain precise control of synthetic processes to produce higher quality products, and to avoid formation of harmful or environmentally hazardous byproducts. This conference will provide opportunities for US faculty members and graduate students to present their research results to an international audience, to forge new collaborations, and to meet research leaders in the field of microfluidics. The conference will include a Gordon Research Seminar, which will provide additional opportunities for graduate students to discuss their work and interact with keynote speakers. The conference will address fundamentals of microfluidic systems with applicability to diverse applications including water and energy sustainability, point-of-care diagnostics, microfluidics of 3D printing
and biotechnology. Session topics at the Gordon Research Conference will range from fundamental fluid interface research to more applied topics such as cell separations and analysis. Session topics will include droplet microfluidics, water and energy, point-of-care diagnostics, microfluidics of 3D printing, rare cell capture and analysis, sequencing in confined volumes, wearable and in vivo devices, cell mechanics, and fields, forces, and flows. Researchers from a variety of academic disciplines including biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biology, chemistry, physics and materials science are expected to participate. A special emphasis will be placed on supporting participants from underrepresented groups as well as promoting attendance from researchers at predominantly teaching colleges and universities.

CBET -1664331 PI：Di Carlo，Dino该奖项将为美国年轻研究人员提供部分支持，以参加将于2017年6月3日至9日在意大利卢卡举行的第九届戈登微流体物理和化学研究会议。 微流体是指在微米和纳米尺度上的流体处理和化学处理，其在许多情况下为大规模处理提供显著的优势。 微流体可用于自动化复杂的过程，在通道阵列中进行化学反应和分离，加速生物分析过程，处理超小样品体积，保持合成过程的精确控制以生产更高质量的产品，并避免形成有害或对环境有害的副产品。 本次会议将为美国教师和研究生提供机会，向国际观众展示他们的研究成果，建立新的合作，并会见微流体领域的研究领导者。 会议将包括戈登研究研讨会，这将为研究生提供更多的机会来讨论他们的工作，并与主旨发言人互动。 会议将讨论微流体系统的基本原理，适用于各种应用，包括水和能源可持续性，即时诊断，3D打印微流体和生物技术。戈登研究会议的会议主题将从基本的流体界面研究到更多的应用主题，如细胞分离和分析。会议主题将包括液滴微流控、水和能源、即时诊断、3D打印微流控、稀有细胞捕获和分析、受限体积测序、可穿戴和体内设备、细胞力学以及场、力和流动。 来自生物医学工程、化学工程、机械工程、电气工程、生物学、化学、物理学和材料科学等多个学科的研究人员预计将参加。 将特别强调支持代表性不足的群体的参与者，以及促进主要教学学院和大学的研究人员的出席。
