DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 proposal by the Program Chair (as PI) seeks support of selected junior and minority-class podium speakers, and 3 graduate student poster research presentation awards at the Biomaterials Interfaces Division (BID) Technical Meeting program, part of the AVS 53rd International Symposium and Exhibition occurring November 12- 17, 2006 at the Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, CA. The general theme of this year's BID technical conference is centered on progress and innovations in characterization and control of biological interactions with materials, surfaces and structures, across several scaling regimes, from the macroscopic to nanoscopic. The program design keeps with its highly regarded tradition in bringing together world-renowned scientists, bioengineers and clinicians all seeking to understand materials- centered issues in the context of bio-interfacial research and technology. My specific aims in assembling this meeting are to: 1) Provide a rich, diverse scientific program focusing on both fundamental phenomena that constrain bio-performance of biomaterials and biotechnology in several biomedical and diagnostic arenas (i.e., hurdles of moving toward translational research), as well as key areas of materials- biology interactions where investigators are engineering solutions to either biotechnological (e.g., bio-assay, sensing) or more clinically relevant (implant materials, drug delivery, imaging, tissue engineering) problems using novel approaches from a surface, analytical, materials engineering and/or biological perspective; 2) Gather a group of presenters and participants comprising widely acknowledged thought-leaders as well as younger, aggressive, and vibrant faculty already notable for the novelty and quality of their work. Speakers and session chairs will represent both academic and commercial research efforts, comprising diagnostic and imaging experts, bioengineers, and basic surface and materials scientists all working in this area of biomaterials and drug delivery, imaging techniques, diagnostic methods, device and tissue engineering. Emphasis will be placed on junior participants and under-represented components of the population involved in these areas. This group will similarly represent the gender diversity characteristic of faculty working in these areas; 3) Facilitate interactions between junior and under-represented minority scientists and faculty working in the biomaterials, surface analytical, miniaturization, diagnostic, drug delivery, MEMs and bioengineering areas with prominent senior and international investigators in the field. A number of relevant leading scientists and engineers from companies working in these technology areas are also recruited to participate using the new "Commercial Challenge" podium opportunity.

描述（申请人提供）：该R13提案由项目主席（作为PI）提出，旨在寻求选定的初级和少数民族讲台演讲者的支持，并在生物材料界面部（BID）技术会议项目中获得3个研究生海报研究演示奖，该项目是2006年11月12日至17日在Moscone会议中心举行的AVS第53届国际研讨会和展览会的一部分。加利福尼亚州旧金山弗朗西斯科。今年的BID技术会议的主题是围绕在表征和控制与材料，表面和结构的生物相互作用方面的进展和创新，从宏观到纳米级的几个缩放制度。该项目设计保持了其备受推崇的传统，汇集了世界知名的科学家、生物工程师和临床医生，他们都在寻求了解生物界面研究和技术背景下以材料为中心的问题。我召集这次会议的具体目标是：1）提供一个丰富，多样化的科学计划，重点是在几个生物医学和诊断领域（即，转向转化研究的障碍），以及材料-生物相互作用的关键领域，其中研究人员正在设计生物技术（例如，生物测定，传感）或更多的临床相关（植入材料，药物输送，成像，组织工程）的问题，使用新的方法从表面，分析，材料工程和/或生物学的角度; 2）聚集一组主持人和参与者，包括广泛认可的思想领袖以及年轻，积极，充满活力的教师已经注意到他们的工作的新奇和质量。演讲者和会议主席将代表学术和商业研究工作，包括诊断和成像专家，生物工程师，以及基本表面和材料科学家，他们都在生物材料和药物输送，成像技术，诊断方法，设备和组织工程领域工作。重点将放在初级参与者和参与这些领域的人口中代表性不足的部分。该小组将同样代表在这些领域工作的教师的性别多样性特征; 3）促进初级和代表性不足的少数民族科学家和在生物材料，表面分析，微型化，诊断，药物输送，MEMs和生物工程领域工作的教师与该领域的杰出高级和国际研究人员之间的互动。来自这些技术领域的公司的一些相关的领先科学家和工程师也被招募参加新的“商业挑战”领奖台的机会。
