2019 Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics Gordon Research Conference: Microfluidics for Studying Complex Systems

第十届戈登微流体物理与化学研究会议（GRC）将于2019年6月16日至6月21日在中国香港富豪河畔酒店举行。会议将涉及所有研究部门的参与者，包括学术界、工业界和联邦政府。本次会议将提供一个独特的论坛和亲密的专业环境，以交流新思想，展示和讨论未发表的结果，投机性讨论，以及与会者之间新的跨学科合作的机会。该项目将资助妇女、未被充分代表的少数民族和早期职业研究人员（研究生、博士后和早期职业科学家）参加会议。资金将用于抵消这些参与者的注册费。会议提供了一种独特的智力体验，来自许多不同学科的科学研究人员聚集在一个亲密的论坛上讨论研究并建立伙伴关系，这对我们这个高度多学科领域的健康和发展至关重要。会议的主题将代表微流体和纳米流体领域的最新进展。将在邀请的口头和海报会议上讨论的主题包括化学和药物合成，定量生物学和生物物理学，能源和环境，电动分离，复杂和多相流，系统生物学，合成生物学，增材制造，精密医学和芯片上的类器官。这些主题具有广泛的基础和应用科学影响。青年科学家，包括研究生，博士后研究员和年轻的教师，被邀请在会议的几个海报环节展示他们的最新工作。海报会议是动态和互动的，是研究报告的一个组成部分。学生领导的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）也将在GRC开始前的周末在同一地点举行。GRS是一个为期两天的研讨会，汇集了研究生、博士后和其他具有类似经验水平的早期职业科学家，以交流新的数据和想法。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The tenth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics will be held from June 16th through June 21st, 2019 at the Regal Riverside Hotel in Hong Kong, China. The meeting will involve participants from all research sectors including academia, industry, and the federal government. This conference will offer a unique forum and intimate professional setting for the exchange of new ideas, presentation and discussion of unpublished results, speculative discussions, and opportunities for new interdisciplinary collaborations among attendees. This project will fund participation of women, underrepresented minorities, and early career researchers (graduate students, postdocs, and early career scientists), in the meeting. Funds will be utilized to offset registration fees for these participants.The meeting provides a unique intellectual experience in which scientific researchers from many different disciplines come together in an intimate forum to discuss research and forge partnerships that are critical to the health and growth of our highly multidisciplinary field. The meeting will have topics that represent the latest advances in the field of microfluidics and nano-fluidics. Topics that will be discussed in invited oral and poster sessions include chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis, quantitative biology and biophysics, energy and the environment, electro-kinetic separations, complex and multiphase flows, systems biology, synthetic biology, additive manufacturing, precision medicine, and organoids on a chip. These topics have broad fundamental and applied scientific impact. Young scientists, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and young faculty, are invited to present their latest work during several poster sessions at the conference. The poster sessions have been dynamic and interactive and are an integral part of the research presentations. A student led Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will also be held the weekend before the start of the GRC at the same location. The GRS is a two-day seminar that brings together graduate students, post-docs, and other early career scientists with comparable levels of experience to exchange new data and ideas.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.
