Bioceramics 28 Conference

1638459-El-GhannamNSF已经为10名学生和少数民族研究人员提供了注册，住宿和旅行的支持，以参加2016年10月18日至21日在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特举行的国际医学陶瓷学会年会（ISCM）。 虽然这是第28届这样的年会，但在过去的19年里，这一会议只在美国举行过一次。 会议的主题是“创新疗法的多功能生物陶瓷”，特别强调用于治疗癌症和感染等疑难疾病以及骨重建的药物输送。重点关注的主题包括用于药物输送和组织重建的多功能生物陶瓷，生物玻璃，复合材料，生物陶瓷涂层技术，生物陶瓷医疗器械的3D打印，生物陶瓷的制造技术，生物陶瓷的新设计和临床应用以及生物陶瓷课程开发和教育。 这两个目标是：1）为美国生物技术研究人员和学生提供机会，与国际研究人员和临床医生进行建设性的互动，以发展新的合作，并提供互补的专业知识; 2）为研究生和少数民族研究人员提供机会，在竞争激烈的论坛上展示他们的研究。 每个参与者都将有机会在讲台或海报展示中展示他/她的研究，并提交完整的论文，这些论文将经过同行评审并发表在会议记录中。NSF基金将作为这些演讲的奖品。 更广泛的影响将通过汇集来自众多学科的研究人员和教育工作者在他们职业生涯的各个阶段-从材料科学家，化学家，生物工程师到生物学家到临床医生-从学术界和工业界-从学生到成熟的研究人员，在一个优秀的环境中进行最先进的和深入的讨论。 鼓励学生和博士后的参与将对美国的生物陶瓷研究产生广泛的影响，不仅是在当前，而且在未来，因为研究人员和学生将与国际学者互动，建立网络，并发展成为生物陶瓷科学和工程的未来领导者。

1638459-El-GhannamNSF has made an aware in support of registration, housing and travel for 10 students and minority investigators to attend the Annual meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine (ISCM), October 18-21, 2016, Charlotte, NC. Though this is the 28th such annual meeting, the meeting has only been held once in the United States in the last 19 years. The meeting's theme is "Multifunctional Bioceramics for Innovative Therapy" with a particular emphasis being placed on drug delivery for treatment of difficult diseases, including cancer and infection, and for bone reconstruction. Highlighted topics include multifunctional bioceramics for drug delivery and tissue reconstruction, bioglasses, composites, bioceramics coating technology, 3D printing of bioceramic medical devices, manufacturing techniques of bioceramics, new design of bioceramics and clinical applications and bioceramic curriculum development and education.he NSF funds will be awarded as prizes in a research competition. The two objectives are to: 1) provide US biotechnology investigators and students opportunities to constructively interact with international fellow investigators and clinicians with complementary expertise in order to develop new collaborations and 2) provide graduate students and minority researchers opportunities to showcase their research in a competitive forum. Every participant will have the opportunity to present his/her research in a podium or poster presentation and submit full papers that will be peer reviewed and published in the Proceedings. The NSF funds will be awarded as prizes for these presentations. Broader Impact will be achieved by the bringing together of researchers and educators from numerous disciplines at various stages of their careers - from materials scientists, chemists, bioengineers to biologists to clinicians - from academia and industry - from students to well established researchers, in an outstanding environment for state-of-the-art and in-depth discussions. Encouragement of student and post-doc participation will have a broad impact on bioceramics research in the USA not just for current times but for the future as investigators and students will interact with international scholars, network and develop into future leaders in bioceramics science and engineering.
