Student Travel Award for Mechanotransduction and Mechanobiology Symposium - Fall 2011

该奖项为学生出席2011年生物医学工程学会秋季会议期间的机械生物学和机械传导前沿研讨会提供支持。本次研讨会的目的有三个：（1）强调机械生物学和机械传导的分子和机制以及遗传基础的最新进展;（2）为研究人员提供一个建立新联系和交流思想的平台;（3）为了荣誉舒谦博士对该领域的贡献，并激励和促进学生，特别是妇女和少数民族学生，该奖项将根据提交的摘要和财务需求，向研究生和本科生提供六笔500美元的旅行奖励，其中至少三笔奖励给妇女和少数民族学生，两笔奖励给本科生。

This award provides support for student attendance at a cutting edge Symposium on Mechanobiology and Mechanotransduction during the Biomedical Engineering Society Fall Meeting 2011. The objectives of this symposium are three-fold:(1) To highlight the most recent advances on molecular and mechanisms and the genetic basis for mechanobiology and mechanotransduction;(2) To provide a platform for researchers to establish new connections and exchange ideas;(3) To honor Dr. Shu Chien's contribution to the field and inspire and facilitate students, especially women and minority students, to perform research in this area.The award will provide six travel awards of $500 to graduate and undergraduate students, based on the submitted abstracts and financial needs, with at least three of the awards to women and minority students and two awards to undergraduate students.
