International Conference on Epigenetics and Bioengineering 2017

2017年表观遗传学和生物工程国际会议（EpiBio 2017）由生物工程学会赞助，将在佛罗里达的迈阿密举行。这次国际会议将汇集生物学家，工程师，生物化学家和临床科学家，以及研究生，相互培训互补的观点和专业知识。为了鼓励互动和进一步的讨论，整个会议以单轨形式举行，大多数餐都在一起，并有多个海报会议（通常由学生，博士后或初级教师/科学家提出）。本次会议旨在实现NSF的几项任务，包括：加强与国际社会的合作，将工程科学与生命科学相结合，鼓励多学科领域的研究和开发，以及教育下一代年轻科学家。EpiBio 2017将专注于增加表观遗传和生物工程研究人员之间的科学交流，并增加国际和美国科学家之间的合作。 会议的内容将包括该领域领导人的科学演讲，以全体会议的形式举行（没有同时举行的会议），以及海报会议，重点是研究生，博士后和年轻研究人员的参与，在晚上举行。会议主题将包括：检测表观遗传修饰，编辑表观基因组，生物过程工程中的表观遗传学，以及人类健康中的表观遗传学。组织者正在与会议主席合作，在CEP杂志上发表一份10页的增刊，介绍会议上讨论的技术。会议记录将在会议网站上在线发布，并与Wiley合作发表在一两种AIChE期刊上，包括生物技术进展。

The International Conference on Epigenetics and Bioengineering 2017 (EpiBio 2017) is sponsored by the Society for Biological Engineering, and will be held in Miami, Florida. This international conference will bring together established biologists, engineers, biochemists, and clinician-scientists, as well as graduate students to train one another in complementary viewpoints and expertise. To encourage interaction and further discussions, the entire meeting is held in a single-track format, with most meals taken together and with multiple poster sessions (typically presented by students, postdocs, or junior faculty/scientists). This conference is designed to achieve several NSF missions, including; enhancing collaboration with international communities, integrating the engineering sciences with the life sciences, encouraging research and development in multidisciplinary areas, and educating the next generation of young scientists. EpiBio 2017 will focus on growing the scientific exchange among epigenetic and bioengineering researchers, and increasing collaboration between international and American scientists.  The elements of the meeting will include scientific talks from leaders in the field, held in plenary format (no concurrent sessions), and poster sessions, with an emphasis on participation from graduate students, postdocs, and young investigators, held in the evenings. Session topics will include: Detecting epigenetic modifications, Editing the epigenome, Epigenetics in bioprocess engineering, and Epigenetics in human health. The organizers are collaborating with the conference chairs on a 10 page supplement to be published in the CEP Magazine on the technologies discussed at the conference. The conference proceedings will be published both online on the conference website and in one or two of the AIChE journals, including Biotechnology Progress, in collaboration with Wiley.
