2009 MRS Symposium on Engineering for Regenerative Medicine; Boston, MA

这个奖项是由科罗拉多大学博尔德分校材料研究部生物材料项目颁发的，目的是为研究生、博士后和年轻教师参加关于？再生医学工程生物材料？本次研讨会将作为2009年11月30日至12月4日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的材料研究学会秋季会议的一部分举行。会议的科学主题包括：a)仿生支架的设计、合成和改性；2)干细胞与材料的相互作用；3)纳米技术，包括纳米粒子和纤维；(5)生物医学应用和微加工器件新技术的发展。会议的目标是：a)强调材料的设计、合成和应用方面的最新进展，以促进对细胞生物学的基本理解和在组织工程中的实际应用；B)为学术界和工业界的材料科学家、生物工程师和生物学家提供一个建立联系、合作和交流思想的平台；c)为女性、少数族裔和初级教师、博士后研究员和研究生提供展示研究成果的机会，并为未来的研究建立合作和互动。会议的广泛影响是将来自美国和国外的学生、初级科学家和主要研究人员聚集在一起，展示他们最近的研究成果。会议旨在促进组织工程领域新材料和新技术的设计和开发的知识基础。此外，本次会议有望在该领域的学术界和工业界的当前和未来的研究人员之间建立互动和合作。

This award by the Biomaterials program in the Division of Materials Research to University of Colorado Boulder is to provide partial support for the attendance of graduate students, postdocs and young faculty members at a symposium on ?Engineering Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine?. This symposium will be held as part of the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts from November 30 to December 4, 2009. Scientific themes of the conference include: a) bio-inspired scaffold design, synthesis and modification; 2) interactions between stem cell and materials; 3) nanotechnology including nanoparticles and fibers; and (5) development of new technology for biomedical applications and microfabricated devises. Theobjectives of the proposed conference are: a) to highlight recent advances in the design, synthesis and application of materials for fundamental understanding of cell biology and practical applications in tissue engineering; b) to provide a platform for material scientists, bioengineers, and biologists from academia and industry to establish connections, collaborations and exchange of ideas; and c) to facilitate opportunities for women, minority and junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to present their research results, and establish collaborations and interactions for future research.Broader impact of the conference is to bring together students, junior scientists and leading researchers from USA and abroad to present their recent research. The conference is expected to advance the knowledge base for design and development of new materials and technologies in the field of tissue engineering. In addition, this conference is expected to create interactions and collaborations among current and future researchers from academia and industry in this field.
