2008 Biointerface Science Gordon Research Conference

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请请求部分资助将于2008年9月14-19日在法国奥索瓦举行的2008年戈登生物界面科学研究会议。会议的广泛和长期目标是加强我们对生物分子与表面之间的相互作用以及复杂大分子系统在材料界面上的行为的理解，这些相互作用在生物、生物技术、诊断和医学领域中扮演着重要的角色。这次会议的具体目标是召集大约135名与会者，其中包括22名特邀演讲者和9名讨论负责人，他们的研究兴趣在于生物界面科学。九场会议将广泛涵盖生物界面的以下方面：神经界面、再生医学、生物界面的计算模型、用于药物输送和成像的生物纳米系统、膜和基于膜的生物传感、生物界面上的生物分子、生物界面的分子设计、诊断设备的生物界面方面以及纳米颗粒界面。除了口头会议外，两次海报会议以及重要的非正式互动将有助于会议的目标。申请的意义在于，这次会议迅速成为完全致力于生物界面科学的主要国际会议之一，而不是典型的成为更大会议的一小部分的典型方法。此外，会议还对生物界面相互作用的分子方面进行了深入的实验和理论理解。该应用程序与健康相关的是，这项基础研究将导致大量新的或改进的医疗技术，涵盖基因组学、蛋白质组学、临床诊断、生物传感器以及再生医学和牙科的生物材料。 项目简介：该应用程序与健康相关的是，加强对生物界面科学的实验和理论方面的理解将导致大量新的或改进的医疗技术，涵盖基因组学、蛋白质组学、临床诊断、生物传感器以及再生医学和牙科的生物材料。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests partial support for the 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Biointerface Science to be held in Aussois, France, September 14-19, 2008. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to enhance our understanding of interactions between biomolecules and surfaces, and the behavior of complex macromolecular systems at materials interfaces, driven by the important role these interactions play in the fields of biology, biotechnology, diagnostics, and medicine. The specific aims of this meeting will be to convene approximately 135 participants, including 22 invited speakers and 9 discussion leaders, whose research interests lie in biointerface science. Nine sessions will broadly cover the following aspects of biointerfaces: neural interfaces, regenerative medicine, computational modeling of biointerfaces, bionanosystems for drug delivery and imaging, membranes and membrane-based biosensing, biomolecules at biointerfaces, molecular design of biointerfaces, biointerfacial aspects of diagnostic devices, and nanoparticle interfaces. In addition to the oral sessions, two poster sessions as well as significant informal interactions will contribute to the goals of the conference. The significance of the application is that this conference has quickly become one of the main international conferences totally devoted to biointerface science, rather than the typical approach of being a small part of a larger conference. Furthermore, the conference embraces an intense experimental and theoretical understanding of molecular aspects of biointerfacial interactions. The health-relatedness of the application is that this fundamental research will lead to a myriad of new or improved healthcare technologies spanning genomics, proteomics, clinical diagnostics, biosensors, and biomaterials for regenerative medicine and dentistry. Project Narrative: The health-relatedness of the application is that enhanced understanding of experimental and theoretical aspects of biointerface science will lead to a myriad of new or improved healthcare technologies spanning genomics, proteomics, clinical diagnostics, biosensors, and biomaterials for regenerative medicine and dentistry.
