Biochemical and Molecular Engineering XX Conference

由国际工程会议(ECI)主办的第20届生化和分子工程会议将汇聚来自学术界和工业界的生化工程及相关领域的领导者，以及该领域的最新进入者，举行一次小型的、有重点的会议。会议的目标是：1)将生化工程界的所有派别聚集在一起，考虑我们领域的最新进展；2)为社区提供一个论坛，交流将导致科学进步和社区内合作文化的想法；3)解决如何利用我们的科学/技术来解决当今紧迫的问题，无论是在可持续制造、快速应对埃博拉病毒，还是开发新的治疗方法来治愈疾病；4)让社会各界共同考虑科学、技术、资金环境和经济的变化如何影响我们的专业，以及应该如何影响教育和其他实践。这次会议不仅将突出该领域最值得注意的进展，来自George Georgiou(德克萨斯州)、Vilhelm Bohr(美国国立卫生研究院)、Christina Smolke(斯坦福大学)和Jennifer Cochran(斯坦福大学)等人的Keynote，而且还将建立社区，为这些国际观众提供交流思想的机会，并让社区在需要时设定教育和培训的新方向。

This 20th occurrence of the Biochemical and Molecular Engineering conference organized under the auspices of the Engineering Conferences International (ECI) will bring together leaders in the field of biochemical engineering and associated fields, both from academia and industry, along with the newest entrants into the field, for a small, focused conference. The objectives of the conference are: 1) to bring together all factions of the biochemical engineering community to consider the newest advances in our field; 2) to provide a forum for the community to exchange ideas that will lead to both advances in science and a culture of cooperation within the community; 3) to address how our science/ technology can be used to address the compelling issues of the day, either in sustainable manufacturing, rapid response to Ebola, or developing new therapeutic modalities to cure disease; 4) to bring together the community to consider how changes in science, technology, funding climate, and the economy are impacting our profession, and how should impact education and other practices. This conference will not only highlight the most noteworthy advances in the field with Keynotes from people like George Georgiou (Texas), Vilhelm Bohr (NIH), Christina Smolke (Stanford), and Jennifer Cochran (Stanford) but will also build the community, provide opportunities for this international audience to exchange ideas, and for the community to set new directions in education and training if needed.
