International Summer School on Bio-X: Biocomplexity, Biodesign, Bioinnovation, Biomanufacturing, Biodatascience

在过去的几十年里，工程和技术的创新极大地促进和推进了科学发现。这些创新不仅发展迅速，而且还提高了医疗质量，降低了成本，并激发了精准医疗等新的研究领域。此外，这些科学发现揭示了医学和工程研究人员之间加强合作的重要性，以解决医疗保健中出现的问题和障碍，最值得注意的是，对于发展新的教育方向，将医学科学和工程概念转化为课程和临床研究，为下一代全球医疗保健劳动力做好准备。为了强调这些关键和新兴的发展，2019年夏季学校将于2019年6月9日至15日在希腊克里特岛卡尼亚的克林帕里的克里特岛东正教学院（OAC）举行，届时将有30名本科生和研究生以及8名教师参加。这个拟议的教育计划的主要目标是让本科生和研究生生物科学和生物工程专业的学生接触到大脑和生命科学、数据科学和人工智能在生物医学、医疗保健创业和创新方面的新方法和进展。新兴的计算工具有助于使用智能传感器收集和分析在多个时空尺度上收集的大量生物医学数据。复杂生物医学系统的研究需要智能传感器和分析的集成，以及生物学家、数学家、计算机科学家和工程师之间的广泛合作，以提高我们对从基因到系统再到行为的过程的理解。这种合作还有助于开发更好的疾病诊断和治疗方法，确定新的研究方向，培养下一代全球医疗保健工作人员。暑期学校将重点关注大脑和生命科学、数据科学和生物医学人工智能、医疗创业和创新的新方法和进展，以及生物医学工程和科学教育范式转变的必要性。还将讨论对研究的需求，强调将转化研究与数据科学、工程创新和创业领域相结合所带来的机会，以及对经济增长的潜在影响。暑期学校为学生和年轻的研究人员以及暑期学校的教师提供了一个极好的学习、教学和头脑风暴的机会。这是一个机会，让学生亲自会见该领域的领导者，同时享受一个愉快的位置。这个暑期学校将进一步激发工程师、数学家、计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间的跨学科研究和合作，同时确定新的研究方向。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Innovations in engineering and technology have significantly promoted and advanced scientific discoveries over the last few decades. These innovations have not only been rapid, but have also increased the quality and reduced the cost of healthcare and inspired new research areas, such as precision medicine. Additionally, these scientific discoveries reveal the importance of increased collaboration between researchers in medicine and engineering to address the problems and obstacles that arise in health care, and, most notably, for the development of new education directions to translate medical science and engineering concepts into curriculums and clinical research for the preparation of the next generation global healthcare workforce. To accentuate these critical and emerging developments, the summer school 2019 will be held at the Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC), Kolympari, Chania, Crete, Greece, June 9-15, 2019 with the participation of 30 undergraduate and graduate students and 8 faculty. The main objective of this proposed education program is to expose undergraduate and graduate biological science and bioengineering students to new approaches and advancements in the brain and life sciences, data science and artificial intelligence for biomedicine, healthcare entrepreneurship and innovation.Emerging computational tools facilitate the collection and analysis of vast amounts of biomedical data collected at multiple temporal and spatial scales using smart sensors. The investigation of complex biomedical systems requires the integration of smart sensors and analytics and an extensive collaboration between biologists, mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers to improve our understanding of processes from genes to systems to behavior. Such collaboration also allows for the development of better diagnostics and treatments for diseases, the identification of new research directions and the preparation of the next generation global healthcare workforce. The summer school will focus on new approaches and advancements in the brain and life sciences, data science and artificial intelligence for biomedicine, healthcare entrepreneurship and innovation and the need for a paradigm shift in biomedical engineering and science education. Also discussed will be the need for research that places an emphasis on the opportunities presented by combining translational research with the fields of data science, engineering innovation and entrepreneurship, and the potential impact on economic growth. The summer school provides an excellent learning, teaching and brain storming opportunity for students and young researchers as well as the summer school faculty. It is an opportunity for students to personally meet with leaders in the field, while enjoying a pleasant location. This summer school will further stimulate interdisciplinary research and collaborations among engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and medical researchers while identifying new research directionsThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
