Conference: 2023 AfroBiotech Conference

2023年非洲生物技术会议将于2023年10月22日至24日举行。会议强调了非洲裔美国人在生物技术方面的成就，激励了新一代多样化的生物技术专业人员，并确定，交流和探索生物技术各个方面的当前进展。该论坛组织来自美国各地的非洲裔美国科学人才在一个单一的事件，旨在使生物技术行业聘请不同的专业人士，激励其他科学会议的组织者邀请不同的演讲者，并激励下一代不同的学生和学者加入这个社区。本次会议提供了科学演示、海报、网络、扩展讨论、演示的论坛，并包括早期职业研究人员、博士后助理和研究生。生物技术仍然是一个快速发展的领域，确保创新是公平的，并为所有人服务至关重要。制止历史上得不到充分服务的社区持续边缘化的一个有效方法是增强包容性劳动力的权能，让不同的个人经验和观点为技术开发和应用提供信息。工具继续提高效率和准确性;新公司正在使用生物技术来解决治疗，健康和农业方面的挑战;政府对生物技术和生物基产业的资助都使其成为社区成员参与和合作的重要时刻，尽可能快速，安全和有效地推动技术发展。AfroBiotech会议将为非洲裔美国生物工程师创建一个论坛，以关注这一日益增长的机会，同时解决与生物工程相关的科学领域的进展和前景。该会议有一个多样化的议程，包括早期的职业生涯和博士后研究人员以及研究生。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The 2023 AfroBiotech Conference will be held October 22-24, 2023. The conference highlights the achievements of African Americans in biotechnology, inspires a new generation of diverse biotechnology professionals and identifies, communicates, and explores current advancements in various aspects of Biotechnology. This forum organizes African-American scientific talent from across the U.S. at a single event and aims to enable the biotech industry to hire diverse professionals, inspire organizers of other scientific conferences to invite diverse speakers and inspire the next generation of diverse students and scholars to join this community. The conference provides forums for scientific presentations, posters, networking, extended discussions, presentations and is inclusive of early-career researchers, postdoctoral associates and graduate students.Biotechnology continues to be a rapidly developing field, and it is critical to ensure that innovations are equitable and that they serve all people. An effective way to stop ongoing marginalization of historically underserved communities is to empower an inclusive workforce in which diverse personal experiences and perspectives inform technology development and applications. Tools continue to improve efficiency and accuracy; new companies are using biotechnology to solve challenges in therapeutics, health and agriculture; and government funding of biotechnology and bio-based industries all make it an important time for members of the community to engage and collaborate, moving the technology forward as quickly, safely and effectively as possible. The AfroBiotech conference will creates a forum for African American biological engineers to become organized to focus on this growing opportunity and at the same time address advances and prospects in scientific areas pertinent to biological engineering. The conference has a diverse agenda that is inclusive of early-career and postdoctoral researchers as well as graduate students.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.
