Biochemical and Molecular Engineering XIX Conference; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; July 12-16, 2015

1540505Korpics, Kevin m .本提案寻求国家科学基金会对将于2015年7月12日至16日在墨西哥巴亚尔塔港举行的第19届生化与分子工程国际会议（BME XIX）的支持。BME第19届会议的主题是“工程下一代解决方案”，将由非营利性全球工程会议项目国际工程会议（ECI）主办。会议的重点将是生物技术的前沿研究，包括合成生物学、生物分子设计、纳米生物界面、生物燃料、代谢工程、生物分子网络、干细胞分化，并结合生物化学工程的核心领域。此外，研讨会还将讨论生化工程界如何开发应对埃博拉等全球威胁的技术，以及生化工程教育在未来如何改变，以满足行业对特定领域培训的劳动力的需求。会议由CBET分部的生物技术与生化工程项目和分子与细胞生物学分部的合成与系统生物学项目共同主办。

1540505Korpics, Kevin M.This proposal seeks support from the National Science Foundation for the 19th International Conference on Biochemical and Molecular Engineering (BME XIX) to be held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, July 12-16, 2015. The theme of the BME XIX conference is Engineering Next Generation Solutions, and it will be organized under the auspices of the Engineering Conferences International (ECI), a not-for-profit global engineering conferences program.The focus of the conference will be on research at the cutting-edge of biotechnology including synthetic biology, biomolecular design, the nano-bio interface, biofuels, metabolic engineering, biomolecular networks, and stem cell differentiation in combination with core areas of Biochemical Engineering. In addition, workshops will address how the biochemical engineering community can develop technologies that respond to global threats like Ebola, and how Biochemical Engineering Education might change in the future in response to the needs of industry for a workforce trained in specific areas.The conference is co-sponsered by the Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering Program of the CBET Division and by the Synthetic and Systems Biology Program of the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biology.
