Microtechnologies for medicine and biology

该会议奖将提供部分支持2018微技术医学和生物学（MMB）会议在蒙特雷，加州，在2018年3月26日至28日。 这次会议将为包括受训人员在内的年轻研究人员和微型技术领域的领导人之间建立联系提供一个极好的机会。 会议的主题包括：机械生物学和生物物理学;诊断和检测技术;生命系统的微生理学模型;生物测定开发;以及3D打印和生物制造。会议的结构，包括一个单一的房间格式和90秒的“闪光”介绍海报主持人介绍他们的研究，将提供一个多学科的观点，所有与会者和更新每个人在该领域的最新发展。 本次会议的与会者包括来自临床和生物医学行业领域的利益相关者，这使得在促进科学进步方面进行重要的思想交流成为可能。该奖项将为四名年轻的研究人员和四名学员参加国际会议提供财政支持。 获奖者将根据提交的2页摘要进行选择，并优先考虑来自科学和工程领域代表性不足的团体的个人。 超过50%的与会者历来是受训者。 为建立网络提供了大量机会，包括年轻调查员/学员和该领域领导者之间的网络。 此外，还将为两名女性主旨发言人提供部分差旅支助。 这些人将与参加会议的年轻调查员和受训人员建立联系并向他们提供指导。

This conference award will provide partial support to the 2018 Microtechnologies for Medicine and Biology (MMB) Meeting in Monterey, California, on March 26-28, 2018. This meeting will provide an outstanding opportunity for networking between young investigators, including trainees, and leaders in the field of microtechnologies. The themes of the conference include: mechanobiology and biophysics; diagnostic and detection technologies; microphysiological models of living systems; bioassay development; and 3D printing and biomanufacturing. The structure of the conference, including a single room format and 90-second "flash" presentations by poster presenters to introduce their research, will provide a multidisciplinary perspective to all meeting attendees and update everyone on the latest developments within the field. The conference attendees include stakeholders from the clinical and biomedical industry arenas, which allows for significant exchange of ideas in the furtherance of scientific advancement.This award will provide financial support for four young investigators and four trainees to attend the international meeting. Awardees will be selected based on a submitted, 2-page abstract and preference will be given to individuals from groups that are underrepresented in their science and engineering fields. Over 50 percent of attendees have historically been trainees. Substantial opportunities are provided for networking, including between young investigators/trainees and leaders in the field. In addition, partial travel support will be provided to two female keynote speakers. These individuals will be available for networking with and mentoring of the young investigators and trainees attending the meeting.
