The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University will focus its annual international Symposium on Next Generation Diagnostics, convening up to 480 of the Wyss Institute's vast network of collaborators, students, researchers, faculty and clinicians alongside industrial researchers, and members of academic institutions and foundations leading the development of diagnostics technology. Through invited speakers, discussion and the exchange of ideas, the Wyss Institute Symposium looks to highlight the latest developments of this emerging field and address the need for more accurate, rapid, and lower cost diagnostic technologies to meet clinical challenges in hospitals, in physician's offices, at home, and at the point-of-care in both the developed and developing world. Presentations will focus on translation and accelerating the development and application of diagnostic technologies toward commercial and clinical applications. This Symposium will allow the Wyss Institute to bring together leading academic and industrial researchers in the field of diagnostics from around the world to discuss emerging efforts in the diagnostics field by identifying challenges to the advancement and translation of diagnostics technology, and looking for opportunities to leverage the expertise of its faculty and researchers with that of world class experts to promote collaboration; furthering its mission and helping to advance the future of diagnostics technology. The Wyss has planned for three themed sessions followed by a fireside chat styled discussion at the Symposium comprised of Wyss Institute faculty, staff, and national experts. During the first three sessions, speakers are allocated 25 minutes each, followed by 5 minutes for questions, and most if not all the presentations are to be focused on elements of work in this field that have the potential for near term impact. Of particular interest are insights from invited speakers on the particular challenges of translating technology including approaches toward both commercial applications and the clinic. Through a fireside chat and opportunities for reflection for a small group of influencers following the symposium, the Wyss Institute will further provide an opportunity to explore the potential for new national and international collaborations.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.

哈佛大学怀斯生物启发工程研究所将集中举办关于下一代诊断的年度国际研讨会，召集怀斯研究所庞大的合作者、学生、研究人员、教师和临床医生网络中的480人，以及行业研究人员和领导诊断技术发展的学术机构和基金会的成员。通过受邀的演讲者、讨论和思想交流，怀斯研究所研讨会希望突出这一新兴领域的最新发展，并解决对更准确、更快速和更低成本的诊断技术的需求，以应对医院、医生办公室、家庭以及发达国家和发展中国家的临床挑战。演讲将侧重于翻译和加速诊断技术的开发和应用，以实现商业和临床应用。此次研讨会将允许怀斯研究所汇聚来自世界各地的诊断领域的领先学术和工业研究人员，通过确定诊断技术的进步和转化面临的挑战，并寻找机会利用其教职员工和研究人员的专业知识与世界级专家的专业知识来促进合作，进一步履行其使命，帮助推进诊断技术的未来，从而讨论诊断领域的新努力。Wyss计划了三次主题会议，随后在由Wyss研究所教职员工和国家专家组成的研讨会上进行了一次炉边聊天风格的讨论。在前三次会议期间，发言者每人有25分钟的发言时间，然后是5分钟的提问时间，大部分发言(如果不是全部的话)将侧重于这一领域可能产生近期影响的工作内容。特别令人感兴趣的是受邀演讲者关于翻译技术的特殊挑战的见解，包括面向商业应用和临床的方法。通过座谈会后一小群有影响力的人的炉边聊天和反思机会，怀斯研究所将进一步提供机会，探索新的国家和国际合作的潜力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
