1213201ZauscherBiointerface Science is an area of research experiencing explosive growth. The 2012 Biointerface Science GRC, organized by Dr. Wolfgang Knoll (Chair) and Dr. Stefan Zauscher (Vice Chair), seeks to capture the excitement of this burgeoning field by a cutting-edge scientific program and roster of distinguished invited speakers and discussion leaders who will present the latest research results in Biointerface Science.Intellectual Merit:The 2012 GRC on Biointerface Science aims at bringing together scientists and engineers that work (and learn) in the diverse fields of physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, materials science, diagnostics, medicine, and environmental technologies. By presenting and discussing the latest fundamental research results dealing with the interactions between biomolecules of different chemical nature and origin and surfaces of various materials, this GRC will try to bridge the gap and enhance the intellectual interaction between molecular/cellular biology and the medical disciplines on the one side, and the physical and chemical sciences on the other side.This cross-disciplinary dialog is expected to enhance the quantitative understanding of the molecular mechanisms that govern the response of complex macromolecular and/or biological systems when exposed to artificial surfaces and devices. By integrating engineers and materials experts into the discussion, the GRC on Biointerface Science will contribute to the translation of the developed biomolecular concepts into the world of applications, e.g., biomedical devices,and sensors that are urgently needed for diagnostic strategies and new medical treatments of human diseases.New in 2012 is the Gordon Research Seminar on Biointerface Science, which is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education, to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas related to Biointerface Science. The GRS meeting will immediately precede the GRC. By inviting young scientists and students to the GRC we also hope to engage them in the GRS and to contribute to a paradigm shift in the way we train our young colleagues at the intersection of the natural sciences,medicine and engineering. By providing support for this GRC, the NSF will facilitate the interaction of physical scientists, engineers, biologists and medical scientists in this unique scientific forum that will positively impact the direction of this young field and lead to important advances in the understanding of biointerfacial problems, and the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.Broader Impact:The Gordon Research Conference organization has a strong commitment to supporting diversity in the sciences. In the 2012 preliminary program 7 speakers/discussion leaders are women. There are likely to be many more women/minority attendees selected from among those submitting applications. The organizers will further strive to ensure that women, underrepresented and disabled participants will be offered opportunities to attend the meeting. Attendees will be selected from the applicant pool in order to represent a cross-section of researchers working in this area, and with a view toward expanding the community to include scientists working in related fields. Efforts will be made to represent the gender and racial diversity characteristic of the researchers working in this area. Leading scientists and engineers from companies working in the Biointerface Science area will also be recruited to participate. With the help of this grant and other financial resources, the conference chairs will accept a number of junior investigators, postdocs and graduate students and offer them registration and travel support (goal of 10 or more from pooled sponsor resources). The supplements will be decided based on a "state,emt of purpose" to attend the conference and financial need and affirmative action metrics.

1213201zauscherbiointerface科学是一个经历爆炸性增长的研究领域。 The 2012 Biointerface Science GRC, organized by Dr. Wolfgang Knoll (Chair) and Dr. Stefan Zauscher (Vice Chair), seeks to capture the excitement of this burgeoning field by a cutting-edge scientific program and roster of distinguished invited speakers and discussion leaders who will present the latest research results in Biointerface Science.Intellectual Merit:The 2012 GRC on Biointerface Science aims at bringing together scientists and engineers在物理，化学，生物学，生物技术，材料科学，诊断，医学和环境技术的各种领域中的工作（和学习）。通过介绍和讨论最新的基本研究结果，以涉及不同化学性质，起源和各种材料表面的生物分子之间的相互作用，该GRC将试图弥合差距，并增强分子/细胞生物学的智力相互作用，并在其另一侧的医学阶段以及跨越的跨性别机制之间的智力相互作用。在暴露于人造表面和设备时，控制复杂的大分子和/或生物系统的反应。通过将工程师和材料专家整合到讨论中，生物界面科学的GRC将有助于将已发达的生物分子概念转化为应用的世界，例如生物医学设备和传感器，以及急需的诊断策略和新医疗治疗的人类疾病的诊断策略所需的传感器。以及其他具有可比的经验和教育水平的科学家，以介绍和交换与生物界面科学相关的新数据以及尖端思想。 GRS会议将在GRC之前。通过邀请年轻的科学家和学生加入GRC，我们也希望与他们参与GRS，并为我们在自然科学，医学和工程学的交汇处训练年轻同事的方式做出范式转变。通过为此GRC提供支持，NSF将在这个独特的科学论坛中促进物理科学家，工程师，生物学家和医学科学家的相互作用，这将对这个年轻领域的方向产生积极影响，并在理解生物区域问题的理解方面取得重要的进步，对人类疾病的理解以及人类疾病的诊断和诊断组织的诊断。 在2012年的初步计划中，7个演讲者/讨论负责人是女性。 在提交申请的人中，可能会有更多的妇女/少数族裔参与者。组织者将进一步努力确保妇女，代表性不足和残疾的参与者将获得参加会议的机会。将从申请人池中选出与会者，以代表该领域工作的研究人员的横截面，并认为扩大社区以包括在相关领域工作的科学家。将努力代表在该领域工作的研究人员的性别和种族多样性。还将招募在生物界面科学领域工作的公司的领先科学家和工程师参加。在这笔赠款和其他财务资源的帮助下，会议椅将接受许多初级调查员，博士后和研究生，并为他们提供注册和旅行支持（来自汇总赞助商资源的10个或更多目标）。这些补品将根据“州的宗旨，目的”来决定，以参加会议，财务需求和平权行动指标。
