6th International Conference on Plant Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Fort Lauderdale (FL), December 9-11, 2022

植物合成生物学正在迅速成为一个在包括医药、能源和农业在内的各种工业中具有重要经济意义的领域。这一进步领域的步伐需要科学家，化学和生物工程师以及数学家及时的集体专业知识来开发准确的建模系统，优化高价值的化学生产，并最终以可持续和经济上可行的方式在工业规模上制造必要的原料。第六届植物合成生物学，生物工程和生物技术国际会议将汇集国内外学术界和工业界的研究人员讨论新发现的科学知识，将这些发现整合为突破性的解决方案，并提供一个论坛，可以向学生介绍植物合成生物学职业生涯的可能性。本次会议由美国化学工程师学会（AIChE）内的一个技术团体——生物工程学会（SBE）组织，将接待不同群体的与会者，包括该领域的专业人士和处于职业生涯各个阶段的学生。该奖项旨在支持学生和早期职业专业人士参加会议，参与讨论，并与工业界，学术界和政府的代表建立联系。该奖项由综合有机体系统部（BIO/IOS）的植物基因组研究项目、分子和细胞生物科学部（BIO/MCB）的系统和合成生物学项目以及化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部（ENG/CBET）的细胞和生化工程项目共同资助。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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Plant synthetic biology is rapidly becoming a field of great economic importance in a broad variety of industries, including medicine, energy, and agriculture. The pace of this advancing field requires the timely collective expertise of scientists, chemical and biological engineers, and mathematicians to develop accurate modeling systems, optimize high value chemical production, and ultimately manufacture essential feedstocks on an industrial scale in a manner which is both sustainable and economically viable.The 6th International Conference on Plant Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering, and Biotechnology will bring researchers working in academia and industry both domestically and abroad to discuss newly uncovered scientific knowledge, integrate these findings into groundbreaking solutions, and provide a forum that can introduce students to the possibilities of a career in plant synthetic biology. Organized by the Society of Biological Engineering (SBE), a technological community within the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), this conference will host a diverse group of attendees, including both established professionals in the field and students at all stages of their careers. This award provides support for broadening participation of students and early career professionals to attend the conference, participate in the discussions, and network with representatives from industry, academia and government. The award is co-funded by the Plant Genome Research Program in the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (BIO/IOS), the Systems and Synthetic Biology program in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (BIO/MCB), and the Cellular and Biochemical Engineering program in the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (ENG/CBET).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.
