The 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Bioelectronics - the first GRC on this topic - establishes a community of interdisciplinary researchers. Bioelectronics is a multi-disciplinary scientific area and it includes researchers from diverse fields, such as biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, physics, materials sciences, medicine, electrical engineering, and synthetic biology. These areas remain poorly connected, and there is no current meeting that brings together the broad spectrum of researchers actively involved in the development of Bioelectronics technologies across a range of length scales. The 2019 GRC on Bioelectronics fosters new interdisciplinary collaborations across the physical sciences, engineering, and biological sciences and provides a forum for sharing the latest advances, communicating grand challenges, and building collaborations to develop transformative bioelectronics technologies. Research topics are multi-disciplinary, spanning both the physical sciences and biological sciences The Conference includes the participation of graduate students and postdocs.A key, unifying element in the advancement of Bioelectronics is merging biomolecules, cells, and materials across a spectrum of length scales. Fundamental questions in the field include understanding electron flow in biochemical pathways, elucidating electron transfer at interfaces between synthetic and natural systems and establishing efficient pathways for electrical and ionic communication between devices and cells using advanced materials and synthetic biology. The meeting addresses and establishes grand challenges in the field of Bioelectronics including: (1) understanding how to integrate living/organic materials with synthetic materials, including natural and synthetic light harvesting systems, (2) finding new ways to control and re-program electron transfer in biology to accomplish nanoscale synthesis in a targeted manner, (3) achieving specificity in read/write interfaces, (4) designing materials with sufficient longevity and long-term degradability, and (5) translating this knowledge to macroscopic phenomena and devices.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

2019年生物电子学戈登研究会议（GRC）-关于这个主题的第一个GRC-建立了一个跨学科研究人员的社区。生物电子学是一个多学科的科学领域，它包括来自不同领域的研究人员，如生物化学，分子生物学，化学，物理学，材料科学，医学，电气工程和合成生物学。这些领域的联系仍然很差，目前还没有一次会议将积极参与生物电子技术开发的广泛研究人员聚集在一起。2019年生物电子学GRC促进了物理科学，工程和生物科学的新跨学科合作，并为分享最新进展，交流重大挑战和建立合作以开发变革性生物电子技术提供了一个论坛。研究主题是多学科的，跨越物理科学和生物科学会议包括研究生和博士后的参与。在生物电子学的进步的一个关键，统一的元素是合并生物分子，细胞和材料跨越一系列的长度尺度。该领域的基本问题包括理解生物化学途径中的电子流，阐明合成和天然系统之间界面处的电子转移，以及使用先进材料和合成生物学建立设备和细胞之间电和离子通信的有效途径。会议讨论并确定了生物电子领域的重大挑战，包括：（1）了解如何将生物/有机材料与合成材料整合，包括天然和合成光收集系统，（2）找到控制和重新编程生物学中电子转移的新方法，以有针对性的方式实现纳米级合成，（3）实现读/写界面的特异性，（4）设计具有足够寿命和长期降解性的材料，（5）将这些知识转化为宏观现象和装置。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
