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年戈登研究会议（GRC）在生物电子学上 - 关于此主题的第一个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，例如生物化学，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。这些领域的联系保持不变，目前没有会议汇集了积极参与一系列长度范围内生物电子技术发展的广泛研究人员。 2019年的生物电子学GRC促进了物理科学，工程和生物科学的新跨学科合作，并提供了一个论坛，以分享最新进展，传达宏伟的挑战并建立合作，以开发变革性的生物电子技术。研究主题是多学科的，跨越了物理科学和生物科学，会议包括研究生和博士后的参与。该领域的基本问题包括了解生化途径中的电子流，阐明了合成系统和自然系统之间界面的电子转移，并使用先进材料和合成生物学建立了在设备和细胞之间的电和离子通信的有效途径。会议在生物电子学领域涉及并建立了巨大的挑战，包括：（1）了解如何将生活/有机材料与合成材料（包括自然和合成光收集系统）相结合，（2）在生物学中找到和重新编程电子传输的新方法，以使纳米级合成纳米级合成，并在目标中融合纳米级，并在启用材料中与特定的特定性（3）（3）（3）（3）（3）（3），（3）（3）（3）（3）（3）（3）（3）长期降解性，以及（5）将此知识转化为宏观现象和设备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
