戈登微流体物理和化学研究会议(GRC/GRS)将于#年#月#日举行。 2017年6月3日至6月9日，在意大利卢卡的Il Ciocco举行。波士顿大学凯瑟琳·M·克拉珀里奇教授和 加州大学洛杉矶分校的迪诺·迪卡洛教授将担任会议的联合主席，副主席- 主席Hang Lu教授(佐治亚理工学院)和Cullen Buie教授(麻省理工学院)。会议将包括以下方面的会议 用于下一代测序的微流体、液滴微流体、护理点诊断、水和 能源，稀有细胞捕获，细胞力学，3D打印的微流体和可穿戴/活体设备。旅行 将奖励对部分与会者的支持，特别考虑初级调查人员(即， 学生、博士后研究人员)。微流控GRC/GRS的这一物理化学具有重要意义，因为 讨论型论坛为科学家和工程师提供了一个独特的机会，让他们专注于 促进生物医学科学发展的技术。此应用程序与健康相关的原因在于 微流控和纳流控技术为研究生物分子相互作用提供了新的工具 健康和疾病流程。详细的、甚至是定量的知识对于理解 疾病的分子基础和开发新的治疗方法。虽然有几次会议并没有特别 解决NIBIB和NIGMS计划(即能源)、微流体和微工程是强大的 可用于促进和显著改进基础和应用生物医学研究的技术； 构成会议主要焦点的主题领域。微流体和纳米技术是高度 多学科领域。根据我们之前成功举办的GRC(自2001年起每两年举办一次)，参与者将拥有 不同的背景(生物工程、化学、生物、物理、化学工程、电气工程、 机械工程、医学和材料科学)。与会者将代表学术界、政府、 和工业，参与者大多来自学术界。这次会议的一个主要目标是 鼓励来自不同背景和培训水平的参与者之间的互动，以促进 微流控技术的成熟有助于阐明复杂的生物学问题。

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC/GRS) on the Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics will be held from June 3rd to June 9th, 2017 at Il Ciocco in Lucca, Italy. Prof. Catherine M. Klapperich of the Boston University and Prof. Dino DiCarlo of University of California, Los Angeles will act as co-Chairs for the conference with vice- Chairs Prof. Hang Lu (Georgia Tech) and Prof. Cullen Buie (MIT). The conference will include sessions on Microfluidics for Next Generation Sequencing, Droplet Microfluidics, Point-of-care Diagnostics, Water and Energy, Rare Cell Capture, Cell Mechanics, Microfluidics of 3D Printing and Wearable/In vivo Devices. Travel support for a sub-set of attendees will be awarded, giving special consideration to junior investigators (i.e., students, postdoctoral researchers). This Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics GRC/GRS is significant, as the discussion-oriented forum provides a unique opportunity for scientists and engineers to focus on the role of technology in advancing biomedical science. The health-relatedness of this application lies in the fact that microfluidic and nanofluidic technologies are providing new tools to study biomolecular interactions that underlie health and disease processes. A detailed, even quantitative knowledge is critical for understanding the molecular basis of disease and developing new therapies. While a handful of sessions do not specifically address NIBIB and NIGMS programs (i.e., Energy), microfluidics and microengineering are powerful technologies that can be used to facilitate and dramatically improve basic and applied biomedical research; topical areas that comprise the major focus of the conference. Microfluidics and nanotechnology are highly multidisciplinary fields. Based on our previous successful GRC's (biennially since 2001), participants will have diverse backgrounds (bioengineering, chemistry, biology, physics, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, medicine, and materials science). Participants will represent academia, government, and industry with the majority of participants from the academic sector. A main goal of this conference is to encourage interaction among participants from dissimilar backgrounds and levels of training in order to facilitate the maturation of microfluidic technologies to help elucidate complex biological problems.
