2010 International Conference on Biofabrication: October 4-6, 2010 in Philadelphia, PA

1010335 ForgacsBiofabstract是一门新兴学科，它使用细胞、生物活性化合物、生物制剂和/或生物材料作为基本构建模块来制造生物模型、系统、设备和产品。由于生物制造涉及广泛的物理，化学，生物和工程过程，它是基于多个领域专家的协作互动;它基本上是跨学科的。由于这一显著特征，生物纤维群落正在稳步增长。为了清楚地建立和确定自己的身份，它需要代表性。这一点已得到该领域越来越多的从业人员的承认，这反映在最近关于这一主题的一些会议上。在这一方向上的另一个里程碑是最近推出了一个专门的期刊生物制品。为了保持势头，PI将于10月4日至6日在费城组织“2010年生物制品国际会议”，并为约100名参与者提供一个交流该领域最新发展的论坛，其中年轻一代的代表性很强，反映了该学科的年轻性本身由于认识到生物制造业的重要性，并有可能成为21世纪世纪的制造业范例，他们计划将引领潮流、决策资助机构和工商业组织的代表与学术界聚集在一起。在美国举办这次会议将为美国研究人员提供一个机会，以保持他们在该领域的国际领导地位。生物制造技术包括那些已知的更医学动机的组织工程，但在角度来看，可以包括应用程序，以响应众多的社会需求，如生物燃料，环境毒理学或非动物食品（肉类）。由于其深远的影响和影响范围，生物制造业需要一支由“多语言”个人组成的多学科劳动力队伍，能够跨多个科学学科和技术进行交流，并与决策和监管机构、工业和商业的代表进行交流。很可能，那些在生物制造业工作的人需要不断创新，并站在创业精英的最前沿。拟议的2010年生物制品国际会议将在实现这些目标方面发挥重要作用。它将有助于加强国际生物制品界，提高其认可度和声望，提供一个在美国展示其最新成就的机会，并提高该领域对下一代科学家，研究人员和工程师的吸引力，希望在21世纪世纪的技术企业中取得成功。

1010335ForgacsBiofabrication is an emerging discipline that uses cells, bioactive compounds, biologics and/or biomaterials as basic building blocks to manufacture biological models, systems, devices and products. As biofabrication implies a broad range of physical, chemical, biological, and engineering processes, it is predicated on the collaborative interaction of experts of multiple fields; it is fundamentally interdisciplinary. Due to this distinguishing feature the biofabrication community is steadily increasing. To clearly establish and identify itself it needs representation. This has been recognized by many of the field's growing number of practitioners reflected in a number of recent meetings on the subject. A further milestone in this direction is the recent launch of a dedicated journal Biofabrication.To maintain momentum The PIs will organize the "2010 international Conference on Biofabrication" in Philadelphia, October 4-6, and provide a forum for the exchange of the latest developments in the field between about 100 participants with a strong representation of the younger generation reflecting the young nature of the discipline itself. In recognition of the importance of biofabrication, with the potential to become the 21st century manufacturing paradigm, they plan to bring together representatives of trendsetting, policy-making funding agencies and industrial-commercial organizations with the academic community. Organizing the meeting in the United States will provide an opportunity for US researchers to maintain their international leadership in the field.Biofabrication technologies include those known from the more medically-motivated tissue engineering but in perspective could incorporate applications that respond to numerous societal needs, such as biofuels, environmental toxicology or non-animal food (meat). For its far-reaching implications and sphere of influence, biofabrication requires a multidisciplinary workforce of "multi-lingual" individuals, able to communicate across multiple scientific disciplines and technologies as well as with representatives of policymaking and regulatory bodies, industry and commerce. It is likely that those working in biofabrication will need to be continuous innovators and be at the fore-front of the entrepreneurial elite. The proposed 2010 International Conference on Biofabrication will play an important role in achieving these goals. It will contribute to the strengthening of the international biofabrication community, boost its recognition and prestige, provide an opportunity to showcase its latest accomplishments in the US, and enhance the appeal of the field to the next generation of scientists, researchers and engineers with aspirations for success in the 21st century technological enterprise.
