2nd International Conference on Microbiome Engineering; December 2-4, 2019; Boston, MA

该奖项的目的是支持美国的学生和博士后助理和年轻的专业人士，他们将参加将于2019年12月在波士顿举行的第二届微生物组工程国际会议。会议探讨了微生物组工程的重要性和应用，并将汇集来自微生物组工程前沿领域的领导者和专家，讨论研究、技术和创新的进展和需求。第二届微生物组工程国际会议的主席和组委会都是各自领域的专家和领导者。药物设计和微生物组工程领域正在迅速发展，需要生物医学科学和工程领域的专业人士和年轻研究人员之间的合作。这次会议将提供一个场地，从一个不同的研究小组的科学报告;鼓励研究生和本科生研究人员谁代表该领域的未来积极参与;将科学家和工程师聚集在一起，提供一个讨论他们的学科和方法的氛围和场所，鼓励对限制微生物组建模和工程发展的障碍进行新的研究，并将特别关注代表性不足的女性和科学家。组同行评审的会议记录将在AIChE网站上发布。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

The purpose of this award is to support US-based students and postdoctoral associates and young professionals who will attend the 2nd International Conference on Microbiome Engineering to be held in Boston, in December 2019. The conference explores the importance and applications of microbiome engineering and will bring together leaders and experts from cutting edge fields of microbiome engineering to discuss progress and needs to develop research, technology, and innovation. The chairs and organizing committee of the 2nd International Conference on Microbiome Engineering are experts and leaders in their fields.The field of pharmaceutical design and microbiome engineering is growing rapidly and needs collaboration between the professionals and young researchers in biomedical science and engineering. This conference will provide a venue for scientific presentations from a diverse group of researchers; encourage active participation by graduate and undergraduate researchers who represent the future of the field; bring scientists and engineers together to provide an atmosphere and venue to discuss their disciplines and approaches, motivate new research into barriers limiting the development of microbiome modeling and engineering and will have a particular focus on females and scientists from underrepresented groups. Peer reviewed conference proceedings will be published on the AIChE website.This 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.
