Financial Support: American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting; San Diego, CA; March 13-17, 2005

主要研究者要求为纽约市立大学亨特学院聚合材料、科学和工程（PMSE）部门的生物纳米技术部门提供财政支持。与会者：Hiroshi Matsui（纽约市立大学）、Kimberly Hamad-Schifferli（麻省理工学院）和Rajesh Naik（空军实验室Wright Patterson）也将出席本次研讨会。学术价值ACS全国会议是化学和相关工程领域最大的会议。在松井博士的小组组织的演讲中，主题围绕着生物纳米技术。具体而言，该小组计划探讨生物材料的应用，因为它们涉及到计算机，传感器和数据存储，以及相关的研究应用，如组织工程和药物输送。研讨会作为一个整体，将有3个会议集中在生物纳米材料，生物和纳米系统之间的接口，和生物聚合物。本次研讨会将集中讨论如何利用生物大分子作为构建单元来合成无机纳米材料，生物世界与纳米系统之间的接口，以及生物大分子作为聚合物构建单元的应用。和生物研究人员，以探索新的跨学科的研究活动，在纳米科学。受邀演讲者包括不同的知识背景，包括工业，学术和政府实验室、男性和女性研究人员以及年轻的研究人员。

The PI requests financial support for the Bionanotechnology section in Polymetric Materials, Sciences, and Engineering (PMSE) division at CUNY - Hunter College. The attendees: Hiroshi Matsui (CUNY), Kimberly Hamad-Schifferli (MIT), and Rajesh Naik (Air Force LabWright Patterson) are also presenting at this symposium.Intellectual MeritThe ACS National meeting is the largest meeting in the fields of Chemistry and relatedengineering. In the presentations being organized by Dr. Matsui's group, the topics are centered around bionanotechnology. Specifically, the group plans to explore biomaterials applications as they relate to computers, sensors and data storage, as well as relevant research applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery.The symposium as a whole, will have 3 sessions focused on nanomaterials in biology, the interface between biology and nanoscale systems, and biological polymers. Thissymposium will focus on how to utilize biological macromolecules as building blocks tosynthesize inorganic nanomaterials, the interface between the biological world andnanoscale systems, and use of biological macromolecules as building blocks forpolymers.Broader ImpactThe goal of the symposium is to provide a forum for direct interaction between polymer, materials, and biological researchers in order to explore new interdisciplinary research activities in nanoscience.The invited speakers include a diverse array of intellectual backgrounds, to includeindustrial, academic and government laboratories, male and female researchers, andestablished as well as young investigators.
