The International Conference on Epigenetics and Bioengineering 2017 (EpiBio 2017) is sponsored by the Society for Biological Engineering, and will be held in Miami, Florida. This international conference will bring together established biologists, engineers, biochemists, and clinician-scientists, as well as graduate students to train one another in complementary viewpoints and expertise. To encourage interaction and further discussions, the entire meeting is held in a single-track format, with most meals taken together and with multiple poster sessions (typically presented by students, postdocs, or junior faculty/scientists). This conference is designed to achieve several NSF missions, including; enhancing collaboration with international communities, integrating the engineering sciences with the life sciences, encouraging research and development in multidisciplinary areas, and educating the next generation of young scientists. EpiBio 2017 will focus on growing the scientific exchange among epigenetic and bioengineering researchers, and increasing collaboration between international and American scientists.  The elements of the meeting will include scientific talks from leaders in the field, held in plenary format (no concurrent sessions), and poster sessions, with an emphasis on participation from graduate students, postdocs, and young investigators, held in the evenings. Session topics will include: Detecting epigenetic modifications, Editing the epigenome, Epigenetics in bioprocess engineering, and Epigenetics in human health. The organizers are collaborating with the conference chairs on a 10 page supplement to be published in the CEP Magazine on the technologies discussed at the conference. The conference proceedings will be published both online on the conference website and in one or two of the AIChE journals, including Biotechnology Progress, in collaboration with Wiley.

2017表观遗传学与生物工程国际会议（EpiBio 2017）由美国生物工程学会主办，将在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行。这次国际会议将汇集知名的生物学家、工程师、生物化学家和临床科学家，以及研究生，以相互培训互补的观点和专业知识。为了鼓励互动和进一步的讨论，整个会议以单轨形式举行，大多数聚餐一起进行，并有多个海报会议（通常由学生，博士后或初级教师/科学家提出）。本次会议旨在实现NSF的几个任务，包括；加强与国际社会的合作，将工程科学与生命科学相结合，鼓励多学科领域的研究和发展，并培养下一代青年科学家。EpiBio 2017将专注于增加表观遗传学和生物工程研究人员之间的科学交流，以及增加国际和美国科学家之间的合作。会议内容将包括该领域领导人的科学讲座，以全体会议形式举行（不同时举行会议），以及海报会议，重点是研究生，博士后和年轻研究人员的参与，在晚上举行。会议主题将包括：检测表观遗传修饰，编辑表观基因组，生物过程工程中的表观遗传学，以及人类健康中的表观遗传学。组织者正在与会议主席合作，在CEP杂志上发表一份10页的增刊，介绍会议上讨论的技术。会议记录将在会议网站上在线发布，并与Wiley合作在一到两本AIChE期刊上发布，包括《生物技术进展》。
