2014 Hilton Head Workshop for Regenerative Medicine, March 26-29, 2014, in Hilton Head, NC.

PI：Guldberg，Robert E.提案编号：1411467组织工程和再生医学是一个跨学科的领域，需要整合生物工程原理，基础生物学发现，以及行业合作和伙伴关系，以实现恢复功能的最终目标受伤或退化的组织。受损的肌肉骨骼组织共同代表了全球疼痛和功能残疾的最常见原因。为期三天的再生医学希尔顿头部研讨会是一个年度研讨会系列，汇集了来自各种科学学科的再生医学专家在一个小型会议设置，以有效地传达知识，激发新的想法和工作，以克服目前的差距，需要推进再生医学应用的发展知识基础。在一个地点召集这些专家的另一个重要方面是，它提供了培养该领域新研究人员和未来领导人的机会。研讨会为研究生和博士后学员以及年轻的研究人员提供了重要的机会，使他们能够充分参与会议的科学计划，并与该领域的世界知名领导人和导师进行社会互动和联系。2014年希尔顿头研讨会的会议主题，将于2014年3月26日至29日在希尔顿头岛，南卡罗来纳州，是“发现驱动的变革性研究”，并将重点突出研究，有可能改变传统的研究范式，开拓发现，并导致新的和创新的技术的发展。为期一天的会前研讨会定于周三，马赫26，2014，题为“挑战和机遇，在中枢神经系统再生”，将解决目前的研究进展，在神经生物学和神经细胞regeneration.Intellectual优点领域：会议将推进知识内的广泛，跨学科社区的那些从事组织工程和再生医学通过已知和变革性研究的介绍。会议参与和网络机会有可能在美国推出新的合作研究和教育计划，并有可能促进新的国际合作。更广泛的影响：研讨会的多学科重点和与会者的多样性有能力影响工程和科学的许多部门，并推动学术-产业合作的进展。虽然研讨会的参与者人数故意保持较少，但与会者和演讲者来自美国各地和国外，提供新的观点并建立新的合作关系。这次会议有能力影响到几个层次的与会者，特别是通过计划的活动和事件的妇女，学员和年轻的调查人员的重点。本次会议将激励和帮助培养组织工程和再生医学的年轻未来领导者。

PI: Guldberg, Robert E. Proposal Number: 1411467Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field requiring the integration of bioengineering principles, fundamental biological discoveries, and industry collaboration and partnership to achieve the ultimate goal of restoring function to injured or degenerated tissues. Damaged musculoskeletal tissues collectively represent the most common cause of pain and functional disability worldwide. The three-day Hilton Head Workshop for Regenerative Medicine is an annual workshop series that brings together regenerative medicine experts from a variety of scientific disciplines in a small conference setting to effectively convey knowledge and stimulate new ideas and work to overcome current gaps in the knowledge base that are needed to advance the development of regenerative medicine applications. Another important aspect of convening such experts in one location is the opportunity it presents to foster the development of new researchers and future leaders in the field. The workshop provides important opportunities for graduate student and postdoctoral trainees and young investigators to fully participate in the conference scientific program and to interact socially and connect with world renowned leaders and mentors in the field. The conference theme for the 2014 Hilton Head Workshop, to be held March 26-29, 2014 in Hilton Head Island, SC, is "Discovery-Driven Transformative Research" and will focus on highlighting research that has the potential to shift traditional research paradigms, pioneer discovery, and lead to the development of new and innovative technologies. A one-day pre-conference workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, Mach 26, 2014, titled "Challenges and Opportunities in Central Nervous System Regeneration" that will address current research advances in the field of neurobiology and neural cell regeneration.Intellectual Merit:The conference will advance knowledge within the broad, cross disciplinary community of those engaged in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine through the presentation of knew and transformative research. The conference engagement and networking opportunities have the potential to launch new collaborative research and education initiatives in the U.S. and will potentially foster new international collaborations.Broader Impacts:The multidisciplinary focus of the workshop and diversity of attendees has the ability to impact many sectors of engineering and science and to advance progress in academic-industry collaborations. While the workshop is kept intentionally small in participant numbers, the attendees and speakers come from all over the U.S. and abroad to offer new perspectives and forge new collaborative relationships. This conference has the ability to impact several levels of attendees, with particular focus on women, trainees and young investigators through the activities and events planned. This conference will inspire and help train the young future leaders of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
