Biochemical and Molecular Engineering XX Conference

在国际工程会议（ECI）的主持下组织的第20届生物化学和分子工程会议将汇集生物化学工程和相关领域的领导者，无论是来自学术界还是工业界，沿着最新进入该领域的人，为一个小型，重点会议。会议的目标是：1）将生物化学工程界的所有派别聚集在一起，考虑我们领域的最新进展; 2）为社区提供一个论坛，以交流思想，这将导致科学的进步和社区内的合作文化; 3）解决我们的科学/技术如何用于解决当今紧迫的问题，无论是在可持续制造，快速应对埃博拉病毒，还是开发新的治疗方法来治愈疾病; 4）将社区聚集在一起，考虑科学，技术，资金环境和经济的变化如何影响我们的职业，以及如何影响教育和其他实践。本次会议不仅将突出该领域最值得注意的进展，如乔治Georgiou（德克萨斯州），Vilhelm Bohr（NIH），Christina Smolke（斯坦福大学）和Jennifer Cochran（斯坦福大学）的主题演讲，而且还将建立社区，为国际观众提供交流思想的机会，并为社区提供必要的教育和培训新方向。

This 20th occurrence of the Biochemical and Molecular Engineering conference organized under the auspices of the Engineering Conferences International (ECI) will bring together leaders in the field of biochemical engineering and associated fields, both from academia and industry, along with the newest entrants into the field, for a small, focused conference. The objectives of the conference are: 1) to bring together all factions of the biochemical engineering community to consider the newest advances in our field; 2) to provide a forum for the community to exchange ideas that will lead to both advances in science and a culture of cooperation within the community; 3) to address how our science/ technology can be used to address the compelling issues of the day, either in sustainable manufacturing, rapid response to Ebola, or developing new therapeutic modalities to cure disease; 4) to bring together the community to consider how changes in science, technology, funding climate, and the economy are impacting our profession, and how should impact education and other practices. This conference will not only highlight the most noteworthy advances in the field with Keynotes from people like George Georgiou (Texas), Vilhelm Bohr (NIH), Christina Smolke (Stanford), and Jennifer Cochran (Stanford) but will also build the community, provide opportunities for this international audience to exchange ideas, and for the community to set new directions in education and training if needed.
