DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The international Workshop of "Life Science and Systems and Applications (LiSSA)" is co-sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the National Institutes of Health Nano Task Force. LISSA provides an excellent forum where engineers can seek critical issues requiring sophisticated engineering techniques and scientists can find potential engineering collaborators. LiSSA involves the IEEE as a whole, in particular five societies participated. Signal Processing Society (SPS), Photonics Society (LEOS), Electron Device Society (EDS) and Circuits and Systems Society (CASS). The challenges to merge different areas are still great. Closer interactions between groups can be encouraged in particular the convergence of the community of Circuits and Systems and life sciences are therefore proposed. A number of companies doing medical instrumentation and top researchers in hospital and academia have already indicated their willingness to actively jointly participate in identifying new solutions. Tackling these problems involves, among others, biomedical and environmental sensors, wireless implantable and wearable electrical neural recording, electronic interface to the nervous systems, and also ultralow power biopotential microsystems. One particular group that can jump these hurdles is the circuits and systems together along with the aid of the life sciences systems. This convergence will also address roadblocks in the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research to research and transform how biomedical studies are carried-out in overcoming specific obstacles or filling defined knowledge gaps. In this case the gaps between the circuits and systems community and life sciences. One key issue to be addressed is to explore how the environment influences both the development and progression of human disease. Thus, the purpose of this proposal is to solicit partial funding for this initiative with IEEE/NIEHS Circuits and Systems for Medical and Environmental Applications which is a spinoff of LISSA. The main purpose is to provide a forum to change industrial, academic and research institutes culture to foster collaboration. Efforts are concentrated on identifying critical areas for research and collaboration between circuits and systems community and environmental health sciences. Objectives of the workshop are to: 1. encourage high-risk/high-reward research by providing an environment that encourages interaction and exchange of ideas among environmental health sciences and circuits and systems communities. 2. offer a number of keynote speakers, in specific areas of interest to the two communities mentioned above, to address open problems. This will be followed by round table with four invited participants with a moderator to discuss potential stumbling blocks or problems associated with specific topic areas. 3. encourage specialized invited sessions dealing with topical problems that promote potential interactions and cooperation among groups. A document with conclusions from these round tables will be generated. 4. Disseminate materials presented in the Workshop as well as the documents with conclusions from the daily round tables. 5. Encourage international participation from USA, Europe, Asia and Latin-America. This should also include minority and undergraduate participation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The aims of this proposed workshop are to nurture a suitable atmosphere yielding collaboration among environmental medical sciences and circuits and systems engineers to come with problems that can be uniquely solved by these communities. The committees involve researchers from both discipline areas and with significant experience/expertise.

描述（由申请人提供）：“生命科学，系统和应用程序（LISSA）”的国际研讨会由电气和电子工程师研究所（IEEE）和美国国立卫生研究院NANO工作队共同赞助。 Lissa提供了一个出色的论坛，工程师可以在其中寻求需要复杂工程技术的关键问题，科学家可以找到潜在的工程合作者。 Lissa涉及整个IEEE，尤其是五个社会参加。信号处理协会（SP），光子学会（LEOS），电子设备协会（EDS）以及电路与系统协会（CASS）。合并不同领域的挑战仍然很大。因此，可以鼓励群体之间的更紧密的互动，特别是提出了电路和系统和生命科学社区的融合。许多从事医疗器械的公司以及医院和学术界的顶级研究人员已经表明，他们愿意积极共同参与确定新解决方案。解决这些问题涉及生物医学和环境传感器，无线植入和可穿戴的电神经记录，神经系统的电子界面以及超大的功率生物电势微观系统。一个可以跳到这些障碍的特定群体是借助生命科学系统的电路和系统。这种融合还将解决NIH路线图中的障碍，以研究和改变如何在克服特定障碍或填补定义的知识差距的情况下进行生物医学研究。在这种情况下，电路与系统社区和生命科学之间的差距。 要解决的一个关键问题是探索环境如何影响人类疾病的发展和发展。因此，该提案的目的是通过IEEE/NIEHS电路和系统的医疗和环境应用，为这项计划征集部分资金，这是Lissa的衍生产品。主要目的是提供一个论坛，以改变工业，学术和研究机构的文化以促进合作。努力集中在确定电路和系统社区和环境健康科学之间的研究和协作的关键领域。研讨会的目标是：1。通过提供一个鼓励环境健康科学，电路和系统社区之间互动和思想交流的环境，鼓励高风险/高回报研究。 2。在上述两个社区的特定领域提供许多主题演讲者，以解决开放问题。接下来是圆桌会议，有四名受邀参与者和主持人讨论潜在的绊脚石或与特定主题领域相关的问题。 3.鼓励专门的邀请会议，讨论局部问题，以促进群体之间潜在的互动和合作。将生成来自这些圆桌会议的结论的文档。 4。在研讨会中介绍的材料以及每日圆桌会议的结论的文件。 5。鼓励来自美国，欧洲，亚洲和拉丁美洲的国际参与。这还应包括少数族裔和本科参与。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的研讨会的目的是培养适当的氛围，在环境医学科学和电路和系统工程师之间进行合作，以解决这些社区可以独特解决的问题。委员会涉及来自学科领域的研究人员以及具有丰富的经验/专业知识。
