2003 Summer Bioengineering Conference, June 25-29, 2003, Sonesta Beach Resort, Key Biscayne, Florida

夏季生物工程会议是由美国机械工程师学会（ASME）生物工程部主办的两年一次的多学科生物医学工程活动。今年的会议由其他与生物工程相关的知名学会共同主办，包括生物医学工程学会（BMES）、美国化学工程师学会（AIChE）、美国国家生物力学委员会（USNCB）、医学和生物学会电气和电子工程师学会（IEEE EMBS）和Biomat.net。这些赞助协会的参与很好地代表了生物工程的多学科性质。这次会议的一个标志是严格的工程原理和严格的生物学概念的相互作用和真正的融合。会议将于2003年6月25日至29日在佛罗里达州比斯坎岛的索内斯塔海滩度假胜地举行。为3名全体会议发言人提供支持，他们将在主流生物工程之外的领域进行演讲，例如；基因组学;细胞运动的生物力学；环境压力对细胞行为的影响；了解疾病的系统分析和生物技术；基因调控网络。专家全体发言概念的智力价值很高，因为先进的科学概念将被介绍给生物工程研究人员。同样，通过提供重要的思想、概念、工具和解决问题的方法，演讲应该产生更广泛的影响。所有会议发言将以两页扩展摘要的形式记录下来，并汇编成CD格式，免费分发给所有付费的注册人。本光碟亦会提供给所有共同赞助团体。本CD的内容将在会议网站https://www.asme.org/divisions/bed/events/summer03.html上公布。

0328333SoslowskyThe Summer Bioengineering Conference is a multidisciplinary biennial biomedical engineering event sponsored by the Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This year's Conference is co-sponsored by other well recognized societies related to Bioengineering, including the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), the U.S. National Committee on Biomechanics (USNCB), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE EMBS), and Biomat.net. The multidisciplinary nature of bioengineering is well represented by participation of these sponsoring societies. A hallmark of this meeting has been the interaction and true integration of rigorous engineering principles and rigorous biologic concepts. The meeting is to occur at Sonesta Beach Resort, Key Biscayne, FL June 25-29, 2003. Support is provided for 3 plenary speakers who will make presentations about fields just outside of mainstream bioengineering, such as; genomics; biomechanics of cell motility; environmental stresses on cell behavior; systems analysis and biotechnology to understand disease; gene regulatory networks. The intellectual merit of the expert plenary speaker concept is high as advanced scientific concepts are to be introduced to bioengineering researchers. Similarly, a broader impact should occur from the presentations by providing important cross-fertilization of ideas, concepts, tools, and approaches to problem solving.All conference presentations will be documented in two page extended abstracts and compiled in a CD format, distributed free to all paid registrants. Copies of this CD will also be provided to all co-sponsoring societies. The contents of this CD will be posted on the conference web site athttp://www.asme.org/divisions/bed/events/summer03.html.
