Summer Biomechanics, Biotransport and Bioengineering Conference 2014 (SB3C2105)

 描述(申请人提供)：夏季生物力学、生物运输和生物工程会议(SB3C)将于2015年6月17-20日在雪鸟大学雪鸟会议中心举行。这次会议是从1993年以来成功举办的夏季生物工程会议演变而来的。本次会议的目的是促进生物工程领域最先进的研究、合作和科学论述，重点是生物力学、生物运输、生物材料、组织工程、康复和设计。这些主题领域对人类健康和疾病具有广泛的重要性，包括对许多常见疾病的了解、诊断、治疗和康复，包括心血管疾病、骨关节炎、癌症和青光眼。2015年，我们选择了“生物力学、生物工程和生物运输领域的建模和实验的协同效应”作为会议主题。这一主题是及时的，因为现代治疗疾病和设计医疗器械的策略越来越依赖于实验和计算机建模的结合。今年，有了受邀的演讲者和研讨会，与会者、研究人员和学生将更好地了解这两种方法如何协同工作。这次会议将延续强烈关注学员和学员参与的传统；多年来，学员一直占我们与会者和演讲者的50%以上。会议组委会汇集了一群拥有多年夏季生物工程会议运营经验的个人，敏锐地意识到并致力于生物工程的未来，并采取有针对性的措施，通过精心挑选主旨演讲者和研讨会，以及非常成功的学生论文比赛，最大限度地提高学生的参与度。这项建议的主要具体目标是通过提供降低的学生注册费来维持或增加学生在2015年SB3C会议上的参与度。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Summer Biomechanics, Biotransport and Bioengineering Conference (SB3C) will be held June 17-20, 2015 at the Snowbird Meeting and Conference Center, Snowbird UT. This meeting has evolved from the successful Summer Bioengineering Conferences, held since 1993. The purpose of this conference is to promote state-of-the-art research, collaboration, and scientific discourse in the field of bioengineering with focus on biomechanics, biotransport, biomaterials, tissue engineering, rehabilitation and design. These topic areas have broad importance in human health and disease, including the understanding, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of many common conditions, including cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, cancer and glaucoma. For 2015 we have selected "Synergy of Modeling and Experiments in Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Biotransport" as the conference theme. This theme is timely, as modern strategies to treat disease and design medical devices rely increasingly on a combination of experiments and computer modeling. This year, with invited speakers and workshops, attendees, investigators and students will have a better understanding of how these two approaches can work together synergistically. This meeting will continue the tradition of being strongly focused on participation of students and trainees; for many years, students have made up more than 50% of our attendees and presenters. The conference organizing committee, which brings together a group of individuals with many years of experience running the Summer Bioengineering Conferences, is keenly aware of, and committed to, the future of bioengineering and takes targeted measures to maximize student participation through e.g. careful selection of keynote speakers and workshops, and the highly successful Student Paper Competition. The primary specific aim of this proposal is to maintain or increase student participation at the 2015 SB3C meeting through offering reduced student registration fees.
