PI: MetinProposal ID: 1303460The biological sciences have become a more quantitative and information-driven sciences since emerging computational and mathematical tools facilitate the collection and analysis of vast amounts of biological data. Complex analysis of biological systems provides biological knowledge for the organization, management and mining of biological data by using advanced computational tools. The biological data are inherently complex, non-uniform and collected at multiple temporal and spatial scales. The investigations of complex biological systems and processes require an extensive collaboration between biologists, mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers to improve our understanding of the various complex biological processes from gene to system. Intellectual Merits: The main objective of the summer school is to expose undergraduate and graduate biological science and bioengineering students to the relatively new approaches of Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno (NBIC) Technologies and translational research. This summer school will be helpful, also, to students in computer science and mathematics who are interested in pursuing research in biology, bio-molecular engineering and bioengineering, since the summer school provides exceptional insights into the fundamental challenges in biological sciences. Broader Impacts: The summer school uses lectures, oriented toward biological science students, by expert faculty and will focus on the Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno (NBIC) Technologies and Translational Research: Opportunities and Challenges. In addition to these lectures, the summer school will employ 2 two-hour panel discussion, with active participation by the summer school participants, focused on Engineering Better Medicines and Advances in Biomedical Engineering Research and Education in the World. The summer school will stimulate further interdisciplinary research and collaborations among engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and medical researchers, and will help in identifying new, challenging directions in complex biological science and bioengineering research.

PI：Metinpropossos ID：1303460自新兴的计算和数学工具以来，生物科学已成为一种更具定量和信息驱动的科学，促进了大量生物学数据的收集和分析。生物系统的复杂分析通过使用先进的计算工具为组织，管理和采矿提供生物学知识。生物学数据本质上是复杂的，不均匀的，并且在多个时间和空间尺度上收集。对复杂的生物系统和过程的研究需要生物学家，数学家，计算机科学家和工程师之间进行广泛的合作，以提高我们对从基因到系统各种复杂生物过程的理解。智力优点：暑期学校的主要目标是将本科生和研究生生物学科学和生物工程学生揭露到纳米生物-Bio-Info-Cogno（NBIC）技术和转化研究的相对新方法。此外，这也将对有兴趣从事生物学，生物分子工程和生物工程研究的计算机科学和数学的学生有所帮助，因为暑期学校提供了对生物科学中基本挑战的非凡见解。更广泛的影响：暑期学校使用专家教职员工使用讲座，针对生物科学专业的学生，​​并将专注于纳米生物生物-Info-Cogno（NBIC）技术和翻译研究：机遇和挑战。除了这些讲座外，暑期学校还将在暑期学校的参与者积极参与两个小时的讨论，重点是工程更好的药物和世界生物医学工程研究和教育的进步。暑期学校将刺激工程师，数学家，计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间的进一步跨学科研究和合作，并将有助于识别复杂的生物学科学和生物工程研究中的新的，具有挑战性的方向。
