2013 Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Gordon Research Conference & Gordon Rese

描述（由申请人提供）：2013生物材料和组织工程戈登研究会议是一个非常成功的场所，汇集了约150名世界级的临床医生，科学家和工程师，讨论疾病修复和组织修复的材料相关策略。2013年会议的主题将是“组织再生的感应信号和临床挑战”，重点是应用不同领域的基础科学和工程原理，包括干细胞生物学，材料科学和机械工程，以解决临床相关的生物医学问题。该提案寻求支持戈登生物材料和组织工程研究会议，该会议将于2013年7月28日至8月2日在新罕布什尔州普利茅斯的Holderness学校举行。2013年的会议计划汇集了一组独特的学术和工业演讲者和讨论领袖，他们在各自的领域处于不同的职业阶段，性别，国籍和种族。2013年的项目还严格遵循GRC的指导方针，在生物材料和组织工程领域的杰出研究人员、会议的初级与会者和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员之间举行积极的正式和非正式讨论。此外，在本次会议的历史上，戈登研究研讨会（GRS）将首次直接在会议之前举行。研讨会由两名活跃在生物材料领域的博士后研究人员组织，面向资深博士生和博士后研究人员。组织者的目的是：(1)向初级研究人员介绍GRC所涵盖的主题，并提供更广泛的历史和方法背景；(2)允许生物材料专家和同行在轻松的环境中交流科学思想和反馈；(3)使首次与会者适应研讨会和会议固有的独特结构和专业网络机会。海报会议、研究讲座、主题演讲和非正式科学讨论将为研讨会参与者建立成功的、充分参与的会议经验提供坚实的基础。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2013 Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Gordon Research Conference is a highly successful venue for bringing together ~150 world-class clinicians, scientists and engineers to discuss materials-related strategies for disease remediation and tissue repair. The theme of the 2013 conference will be ""Inductive Signals for Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Challenges" which focuses on applying basic science and engineering principles from diverse areas including stem cell biology, materials science and mechanical engineering toward solving clinically relevant biomedical problems. This proposal seeks support for the Gordon Research Conference on Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering to be held July 28 through August 2, 2013 at the Holderness School, Plymouth, New Hampshire. The 2013 conference program brings together a unique collection of academic and industrial speakers and discussion leaders at the forefront of their fields that is diverse in career stage, gender, nationality and ethnicity. The 2013 program also adheres strongly to the GRC directive of holding vigorous formal and informal discussions among prominent investigators in biomaterials and tissue engineering, junior attendees of the conference, and researchers from underrepresented groups. In addition, for the first time in the history of this conference, a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will directly precede the Conference. Organized by two post-doctoral researchers active in the field of biomaterials, the Seminar will be oriented to senior doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers. It is the intention of the organizers that the Seminar: (1) introduce junior investigators to topical themes covered in the GRC with a broader historical and methodological background; (2) permit the exchange of scientific ideas and feedback from biomaterials experts as well as peers, in a relaxed environment; and (3) acclimate first-time attendees to the unique structure and professional networking opportunities inherent to the Seminar and Conference. The poster sessions, research talks, keynote lecture, and informal scientific discussions will provide a solid foundation from which Seminar participants may establish a successful, fully engaged Conference experience.
