Workshop on Instrument Development

来自密歇根大学的Philip Andrews教授得到NSF化学部综合化学活动和NIH国家普通医学科学研究所（NIGMS）的支持，组织了一个“NSF/NIH仪器开发联合研讨会”。本次会议将研究开发化学/生物科学创新仪器的途径，并为分析，生物技术和制药行业提供更大的竞争优势。会议将汇集用户和仪器开发人员，将专注于创造性的方法，仪器设计适用于成熟和新兴的研究领域的共同利益，以NSF和NIH。现代仪器的发展是研究的基石。探索开发创新仪器的途径对于促进研究、教育和科学至关重要。讲习班被认为不仅在化学和生物领域，而且在其他学科都有可能产生广泛的影响。

Prof Philip Andrews from the University of Michigan is supported by the NSF Chemistry Division Integrative Chemistry Activities and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at NIH to organize an "NSF/NIH Joint Workshop on Instrument Development". This meeting will examine paths to develop innovative new instrumentation in the chemical/biological sciences and provide increased competitive advantages for the analytical, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The meeting will bring together users and instrument developers that will focus on creative approaches to instrument design applicable to both mature and emerging fields of research of common interest to both NSF and NIH.Development of modern instrumentation is a corner stone of research. Exploring paths to development of innovative new instrumentation is essential for advancement of research, education and science. The workshop is viewed as having potentially broad impact not only within chemical and biological fields but other disciplines as well.
