This workshop will provide a unique platform for experts in the cell/molecular biology community and the engineering community to get together to identify the important issues, approaches, and potential future activities in the emerging, interdisciplinary area between cell/molecular biology and engineering systems. The workshop builds upon the momentum of recent activities in the biomechanics area (workshops, summer schools, symposia, etc.), and intends to broaden the scope of this interdisciplinary area to include other engineering disciplines. The outcome of the workshop may lead to a coordinated effort in this important, emerging research area, which will have profound impacts on the well-being of research and education enterprise in the US. The results of such coordinated research and education activities will have significant contributions not only to biology and bioengineering, but also to a wide spectrum of health-related fields such as cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and orthopedics. Moreover, such activities will help produce a new generation of research leaders in this important field in the US who are interdisciplinary by training.

该研讨会将为细胞/分子生物学社区和工程社区的专家提供一个独特的平台，以聚集在一起，以确定在细胞/分子生物学和工程系统之间新兴的，跨学科领域的重要问题，方法和潜在的未来活动。该研讨会建立在生物力学领域最近活动的势头（研讨会，暑期学校，研讨会等），并打算扩大该跨学科领域的范围，以包括其他工程学科。研讨会的结果可能会导致在这个新兴的研究领域进行协调的努力，这将对美国的研究和教育企业的福祉产生深远的影响。这种协调的研究和教育活动的结果不仅将对生物学和生物工程产生重大贡献，而且还将对癌症，心血管和呼吸道疾病以及骨科医学等广泛的与健康相关的领域产生重大贡献。此外，此类活动将有助于在美国这一重要领域的新一代研究领导者通过培训跨学科。
