International Conference on Stem Cell Engineering, May 2-5, 2010 in Boston, MA

1004255作为对干细胞领域迅速扩大的及时反应，以及对工程师在这一领域的不断升级的参与，美国化学工程师协会（AIChE）生物工程学会正在组织第二届干细胞工程国际会议（ICSCE）。这个会议，每两年举行一次，涵盖了干细胞工程的广度，并作为一个整体促进，塑造和完善该领域的定义。第二次会议的主题是“工程细胞命运”;会议的目的是提供一个场地：1。对于来自不同群体的领先生物学和工程研究人员的科学演讲，他们涵盖了干细胞工程的广度。2.学术和行业研究人员之间的互动，他们为该领域带来了不同的方法和观点。3.积极参与博士。学生和博士后研究人员，谁代表干细胞生物学和工程的未来。4.因为将生物学家和工程师聚集在一起有助于为双方提供一个讨论他们的学科和方法的氛围和场所，这将导致所有人对该领域的更好理解。会议的范围，主题和目标致力于将物理和工程科学与生命科学相结合，鼓励多学科领域的研究和开发，并支持多尺度的分子和细胞研究。该项目将部分支持60名研究生和3名博士后参加将于2010年5月2日至5日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的第二届干细胞工程国际年会。 将积极鼓励妇女、代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人参加。

1004255MonkAs a timely response to the rapidly expanding field of stem cells, and to the escalating involvement of engineers in this field, American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Society of Biological Engineering is organizing the Second International Conference on Stem Cell Engineering (ICSCE). This meeting, held every two years, covers the breadth of Stem Cell Engineering and serves to promote, shape, and refine the definition of the field as a whole. The theme of this second meeting will be "Engineering Cell Fate"; the conference aims are to provide a venue: 1. For scientific presentations from a diverse group of leading biology and engineering researchers who cover the breadth of Stem Cell Engineering. 2. For interactions between academic and industry researchers, who bring different approaches and perspectives to the field. 3. For active participation by Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers, who represent the future of stem cell biology and engineering. 4. For bringing biologists and engineers together can help to provide an atmosphere and venue for both to discuss their disciplines and approaches, which will lead to a better understanding of the field by all. The scope, theme, and aims of the meeting are committed to integrating the physical and engineering sciences with the life sciences, encouraging research and development in multidisciplinary areas, and supporting molecular and cellular research across multiple scales. This project will partially support the support the travel of 60 graduate students and three postdocs to attend the Second Annual International Conference on Stem Cell Engineering to be held in Boston, Massachusetts on May 2-5, 2010. Women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities will be actively encouraged to participate.
