4th International Conference on Plant Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering, and Biotechnology

非技术描述植物合成生物学交叉了许多学科，包括植物生物学、合成生物学、计算建模和数学分析，以及工程科学，以实现作物改良和提高高价值化学品的生物生产。该奖项提供注册支持，以促进美国研究人员，包括研究生、博士后研究人员和早期研究人员，参加2020年10月30日至11月1日举行的第四届国际植物合成生物学、生物工程和生物技术会议。这次会议汇集了来自不同学术、工业和政府部门的研究人员，并通过组织讲座和虚拟讨论，使学生和早期职业研究人员能够向领先的科学家和工程师组成的跨学科社区学习技术描述由生物工程学会(SBE)主办，来自大学、工业和政府的科学家和工程师参加了会议，会议包括以下领域的多个会议：重新设计光合作用、基因组规模工程、细胞器和合成隔间、工程生物生产、生物相互作用和合成社区、可持续性和工程形式。通过互动的在线平台，会议将提供一个场所，供经常远离现场的生物学家和工程师以及从事与植物合成生物学有关的各个领域的国际研究人员的不同群体进行科学陈述。会议将鼓励学生和实习生在该领域的参与，以及女性和代表不足的科学家在植物科学、合成生物学和工程领域的参与。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。

Nontechnical DescriptionPlant synthetic biology intersects many disciplines, including plant biology, synthetic biology, computational modeling and mathematical analysis, and engineering sciences to enable crop improvement and enhanced bio-production of high value chemicals. The award provides registration support to facilitate participation of US-based researchers, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early stage investigators, in the 4th International Conference on Plant Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering, and Biotechnology Conference held virtually October 30-November 1, 2020. The meeting brings together researchers from various academic, industrial, and government sectors in an interactive and engaging meeting and enables students and early career researchers to learn from an interdisciplinary community of leading scientists and engineers through organized talks and virtual discussionsTechnical DescriptionPresented by the Society of Biological Engineering (SBE), the conference includes scientists and engineers from universities, industry and government, and consists of multiple sessions in areas such as: Redesigning Photosynthesis, Genome Scale Engineering, Organelles and Synthetic Compartments, Engineering Bioproduction, Biotic Interactions and Synthetic Communities, Sustainability, and Engineering Form. Through the interactive online platform the conference will provide a venue for scientific presentations from a diverse group of often field-separated biologists and engineers as well as international researchers working in various areas pertinent to plant synthetic biology. The conference will encourage student and trainee engagement in the field, as well as participation of women and underrepresented scientists in the field of plant sciences, synthetic biology, and engineering.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.
