Innovations in engineering and technology have significantly promoted and advanced scientific discoveries over the last few decades. These innovations have not only been rapid, but have also increased the quality and reduced the cost of healthcare and inspired new research areas, such as precision medicine. Additionally, these scientific discoveries reveal the importance of increased collaboration between researchers in medicine and engineering to address the problems and obstacles that arise in health care, and, most notably, for the development of new education directions to translate medical science and engineering concepts into curriculums and clinical research for the preparation of the next generation global healthcare workforce. To accentuate these critical and emerging developments, the summer school 2019 will be held at the Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC), Kolympari, Chania, Crete, Greece, June 9-15, 2019 with the participation of 30 undergraduate and graduate students and 8 faculty. The main objective of this proposed education program is to expose undergraduate and graduate biological science and bioengineering students to new approaches and advancements in the brain and life sciences, data science and artificial intelligence for biomedicine, healthcare entrepreneurship and innovation.Emerging computational tools facilitate the collection and analysis of vast amounts of biomedical data collected at multiple temporal and spatial scales using smart sensors. The investigation of complex biomedical systems requires the integration of smart sensors and analytics and an extensive collaboration between biologists, mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers to improve our understanding of processes from genes to systems to behavior. Such collaboration also allows for the development of better diagnostics and treatments for diseases, the identification of new research directions and the preparation of the next generation global healthcare workforce. The summer school will focus on new approaches and advancements in the brain and life sciences, data science and artificial intelligence for biomedicine, healthcare entrepreneurship and innovation and the need for a paradigm shift in biomedical engineering and science education. Also discussed will be the need for research that places an emphasis on the opportunities presented by combining translational research with the fields of data science, engineering innovation and entrepreneurship, and the potential impact on economic growth. The summer school provides an excellent learning, teaching and brain storming opportunity for students and young researchers as well as the summer school faculty. It is an opportunity for students to personally meet with leaders in the field, while enjoying a pleasant location. This summer school will further stimulate interdisciplinary research and collaborations among engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and medical researchers while identifying new research directionsThis 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.

在过去的几十年里，工程和技术的创新极大地促进和推进了科学发现。这些创新不仅快速，而且还提高了医疗保健的质量，降低了成本，并启发了新的研究领域，如精准医学。此外，这些科学发现揭示了加强医学和工程学研究人员之间合作的重要性，以解决医疗保健中出现的问题和障碍，最值得注意的是，制定新的教育方向，将医学和工程学概念转化为课程和临床研究，为下一代全球医疗保健劳动力做准备。为了强调这些关键和新兴的发展，2019年暑期班将于2019年6月9日至15日在希腊克里特岛科林帕里的克里特岛东正教学院(OAC)举行，30名本科生和研究生以及8名教职员工参加。这一拟议教育计划的主要目标是让本科生和研究生接触到脑和生命科学、数据科学和人工智能方面的新方法和新进展，用于生物医学、医疗保健创业和创新。新兴的计算工具有助于收集和分析使用智能传感器在多个时间和空间尺度上收集的海量生物医学数据。对复杂生物医学系统的研究需要智能传感器和分析的集成，以及生物学家、数学家、计算机科学家和工程师之间的广泛合作，以提高我们对从基因到系统再到行为的过程的理解。这种合作还可以开发更好的疾病诊断和治疗方法，确定新的研究方向，并为下一代全球医疗保健工作人员做好准备。暑期班将专注于脑和生命科学、生物医学的数据科学和人工智能、医疗保健创业和创新以及生物医学工程和科学教育范式转变的必要性方面的新方法和新进展。还将讨论研究的必要性，强调将翻译研究与数据科学、工程创新和创业领域相结合带来的机会，以及对经济增长的潜在影响。暑期学校为学生和年轻的研究人员以及暑期学校的教职员工提供了一个绝佳的学习、教学和头脑风暴的机会。对于学生来说，这是一个在享受愉快的地理位置的同时，亲自与该领域的领导者见面的机会。今年暑期班将进一步促进工程师、数学家、计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间的跨学科研究和合作，同时确定新的研究方向。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。
