Conference: Northeast Bioengineering Conference 2012, Philadelphia, PA, March 16 - 18, 2012

1202430，服从智力优点工程的快速进步促进了对生物学的理解，并为生物医学问题提供了新的变革性解决方案。NEBEC将提供一个多学科论坛，在各级传播生物医学工程的这些进展，并将促进跨学科障碍的知识共享。该会议是一个开放的论坛，讨论研究和教育的新方向，想法和方法。此外，会议提供了一个加强现有联系和建立新合作的环境。为了支持这些目标，会议将组织涵盖广泛的主题，涉及（但不限于）：-干细胞-仪器-成像-生物医学设计-生物力学NEBEC传统上一直是学生展示他们的研究并获得建设性反馈的平台。本次会议还提供了一个机会，让学生讨论潜在的职业选择与个人从学术界，政府和industries.Broader ImpactThe第38届NEBEC将有一个广泛的影响东北生物工程界和工程教育。来自东北部40多个机构的研究人员在会议上分享的知识将通过抽象书籍，USB拇指驱动器和IEEE网站以电子方式捕获并广泛传播。会议？我们对学生的重视，为他们提供了多种机会，让他们在亲密的环境中展示自己的工作，并与领先的研究人员讨论当前的进展障碍，这将更好地为他们在研究和行业中的职业生涯做好准备。会议的主要目标之一是培养优秀的学生，并帮助发展一个支持该领域未来领导者的环境。此外，接触不同领域的研究将有助于产生创新，创造突破性的生物工程技术，并使整个社会受益。

1202430, ObeidIntellectual MeritRapid advances in engineering are facilitating an enhanced understanding of biology and providing novel transformative solutions to biomedical problems. The NEBEC will provide a multidisciplinary forum for dissemination of these advances in biomedical engineering at all levels, and will facilitate the sharing of knowledge across interdisciplinary barriers. The conference serves as an open forum for discussion of new directions, ideas and approaches in research and education. Furthermore, the conference provides a setting to reinforce existing contacts and to establishing new collaborations.To support these goals, sessions will be organized covering a broad range of topics related (but not limited) to:- Stem Cells- Instrumentation- Imaging- Biomedical Design- BiomechanicsThe NEBEC has traditionally served as a platform for students to present their research and to obtain constructive feedback. This conference also provides an opportunity for students to discuss potential career choices with individuals from academia, government, and industry.Broader ImpactThe 38th NEBEC will have a broad impact for the Northeast bioengineering community and for engineering education. The knowledge shared at the conference by researchers from over 40 institutions in the Northeast will be captured electronically and broadly disseminated via abstract books, USB thumb drives, and the IEEE website. The conference?s emphasis on students, with multiple opportunities for them to present their work and discuss current obstacles to progress with leading researchers in an intimate setting, will better prepare them for careers in both research and industry. One of the main goals of the conference is to nurture exceptional students and to help develop an environment to support future leaders in the field. In addition, the exposure to research in diverse fields will help spawn innovations and create ground breaking bioengineering technologies and bench benefit the society at large.
