Abstract1208143, AkayThe National Academy of Engineering announced the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The committee also praised biomedical and biological engineering as the research field to fulfill the promise of personalized medicine. Included among these 14 challenges were Reverse-Engineering the Brain, Engineer better Medicines and Advance Health Informatics. An important way of exploiting such information would be through the development of methods that allow doctors to forecast the benefits and side effects of potential treatments or cures. "Reverse-Engineering" the Brain, is an emerging discipline that helps us to understand how the brain works and treats several diseases. It furthermore helps us to develop computerized artificial intelligence. Advanced computer intelligence, in turn, should enable automated diagnosis and prescriptions for treatment. Computerized catalogs of health information will enhance the medical system's ability to track the spread of disease and analyze the comparative effectiveness of different approaches to prevention and therapy. Finally, engineering new medicines will help us fight the growing danger of attacks from novel disease-causing agents. For instance, certain deadly bacteria have repeatedly evolved new properties, conferring resistance against even the most powerful antibiotics. New viruses arise with the power to kill and spread more rapidly than disease-prevention systems are designed to counteract.Intellectual Merits: The main objective of the Advanced Summer Institute on Global Healthcare-- Challenges and Opportunities is to highlight and discuss these emerging grand challenges, mainly focused on the latest advances in the areas of science, engineering, technology and medicine. The institute provides a unique environment to discuss the emerging research areas, challenges and opportunities which lead to very fruitful discussions.Broader Impacts: It exposes the attendees with biology and medicine backgrounds to the latest developments in these emerging enabling technologies. It is also helpful to those with engineering and science background who are interested in doing research in bionanoscience and nanomedicine, neuroscience and engineering since the advanced institute provides exceptional insights into the fundamental challenges in biology and medicine.

Abstract1208143，Akayth National工程学院在美国科学进步协会年会上宣布了14项工程挑战。该委员会还称赞生物医学和生物工程学是履行个性化医学承诺的研究领域。其中包括这14个挑战，包括对大脑进行反向工程，工程师更好的药物并提高健康信息学。利用此类信息的一种重要方法是通过开发允许医生预测潜在治疗或治疗的副作用的方法。大脑“反向工程”是一门新兴的学科，可以帮助我们了解大脑的工作原理和治疗多种疾病。此外，它有助于我们开发计算机化的人工智能。反过来，先进的计算机智能应实现自动诊断和处方治疗。计算机化的健康信息目录将增强医疗系统跟踪疾病传播并分析不同预防和治疗方法的比较有效性的能力。最后，工程新药物将有助于我们抵抗新型引起疾病药物攻击的日益增长的危险。例如，某些致命的细菌反复发展了新的特性，即使是最强大的抗生素也具有抗性。与预防疾病的系统相比，新病毒的杀戮和传播能力更快地旨在抵消。智能优点：高级夏季全球医疗保健研究所的主要目标 - 挑战和机遇是突出并讨论这些新兴的巨大挑战，主要集中在科学，工程技术，技术，技术和医学领域的最新进展上。该研究所提供了一个独特的环境来讨论新兴的研究领域，挑战和机遇，这些环境导致了非常富有成果的讨论。Boarder的影响：它使与会者的生物学和医学背景暴露在这些新兴促成技术中的最新发展中。对于那些有兴趣在Bionanoscience和纳米医学，神经科学和工程研究中进行研究的工程和科学背景的人，这也是有帮助的，因为高级研究所提供了对生物学和医学中基本挑战的非凡见解。
