2008 Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：肌肉骨骼系统的研究包括许多跨学科领域，主要是生物学和生物工程，并在临床领域，包括骨科手术，风湿病学和放射学的最终应用。戈登肌肉骨骼生物学和生物工程研究会议一直是介绍和讨论该领域新的和未发表的信息的首要论坛，并不断带来新的见解，新的互动，新的合作和新的研究方向。此申请寻求部分支持2008年戈登研究会议肌肉骨骼生物学和生物工程。会议吸引了来自学术界，工业界和政府以及处于不同职业发展阶段的各种个人。会议一直被与会者评为“杰出”。该会议的形式传统上每隔一个夏天在新罕布什尔州的一所小型私立学校举行，为工程师、生物学家和临床医生之间的集中互动提供了独特的环境。即将举行的会议的规划建立在以前会议的成功传统之上，采取广泛的方法来了解各种肌肉骨骼组织。成立了一个科学咨询委员会，该委员会是科学和社会规划的持续资源。计划会议的主题是“整合肌肉骨骼科学-生物学，工程学和临床挑战”，会议将包括9个单独的会议，由受邀演讲者和不同职业发展水平的选定与会者组成。计划召开的会议的形式基本上保持不变，但有充分的时间进行正式和非正式讨论。此申请寻求部分支持2008年戈登研究会议肌肉骨骼生物学和生物工程。本次会议吸引了来自学术界，工业界和政府的各种各样的个人，并在职业发展的各个阶段。会议的主题是“整合肌肉骨骼科学-生物学，工程学和临床挑战”。会议将由9个单独的会议组成，包括邀请演讲者和选定的与会者在不同的职业发展水平。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The study of the musculoskeletal system encompasses a number of interdisciplinary fields, primarily biology and bioengineering, and has ultimate applications in clinical areas including orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, and radiology. The Gordon Research Conference on Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering has been the premiere forum for presentation and discussion of new and unpublished information in the field, and has consistently led to new insights, new interactions, new collaborations, and new research directions. This application seeks partial support for the 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering. The conference attracts a diverse mix of individuals from academia, industry, and government, and at various stages of career development. The conference has consistently been rated as "outstanding" by the participants. The format of this conference, traditionally held in a small private school in New Hampshire every other summer, provides a unique environment for focused interaction between engineers, biologists, and clinicians. The planning of the upcoming conference has built upon the successful tradition of previous conference, taking a broad approach to understanding a variety of musculoskeletal tissues. A scientific advisory committee was formed and is a continuing resource for scientific and social planning. The theme of the planned conference is ""Integrating musculoskeletal science - biology, engineering, and clinical challenges", and the meeting will consist of 9 separate sessions, consisting of invited speakers and selected attendees at various levels of career development. The format of the planned conference remains essentially unchanged, with ample time for formal and informal discussions.
