44th Northeast Bioengineering Conference

该奖项支持第44届东北生物工程会议，这是一个地区性会议，为生物医学工程领域的本科生和研究生研究人员提供机会，向广大受众展示他们的研究成果。这次会议具有特别的影响，因为它允许没有资金的学生参加全国科学会议，向同学、地区教师和工业界代表展示他们的工作。大会将于2018年3月28日至30日在德雷克塞尔大学举行。该奖项主要支持降低所有与会者的学生注册费，使会议更加负担得起。参加这样的会议的能力鼓励学生攻读研究生并追求学术生涯。此次会议预计将吸引来自美国东北部地区的约400名与会者，其中60%-75%的人将是学生。除了150张海报演示外，60%以上的平台演示将由学员进行。除了科学报告外，还将包括关于生物医学工程职业发展的会议，以具体支持受训人员的专业发展。主讲人和全体演讲者将被用来强调学术界和工业界的前沿研究领域。演讲的主题包括：生物医学工程创业；免疫工程；儿科生物工程；神经工程；以及机械生物学。

This award supports the 44th Northeast Bioengineering Conference, a regional conference that provides an opportunity to undergraduate and graduate student researchers in the field of biomedical engineering to present their research to a broad audience. The conference has particular impact because it allows students who do not have the funding to attend a national scientific meeting to present their work to fellow students, regional faculty, and representatives from industry. The conference will be held on March 28-30, 2018, at Drexel University. The award primarily supports a reduction in student registration fees for all attendees, allowing the conference to be even more affordable. The ability to participate in conferences such as this encourages students to pursue graduate school and pursue an academic career. The conference expects to attract about 400 attendees from around the Northeast region of the United States, with 60 - 75% expected to be students. Over 60% of the platform presentations will be given by trainees, in addition to 150 poster presentations. In addition to scientific presentations, sessions on career development in biomedical engineering will be included to specifically support professional development of the trainees. Key Note and Plenary speakers will be used to highlight cutting edge areas of research in both academia and industry. Themes of the presentations will include: Biomedical Engineering Entrepreneurship; Immunoengineering; Pediatric Bioengineering; Neuroengineering; and Mechanobiology.
