This award by the Biomaterials program in the Division of Materials Research to Clemson Univerity is to provide student support to attend the conference titled "Frontiers in Biomagnetic Particles IV" in Telluride, Colorado. The focus of this three-day symposium is on the synthesis, characterization and control of biomagnetic nanomaterials as carriers with a wide range of biomedical, environmental and industrial applications. This international event will bring scientists, engineers and biomedical professionals together, and they will present their recent studies and results, and discuss this rapidly growing and highly interdisciplinary field. The symposium builds upon earlier three successful conferences organized by these investigators. The broader impact goal of this proposal is to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minority students in science and engineering areas. This travel support would provide them with a unique opportunity in interacting and networking with other scientists outside of their normal educational experiences. Additionally, the organizers would make every effort to have at least 50% women and minority students as session chairs in leading the discussion on the research topics being presented at the conference.Magnetic particles are an enabling technology for a wide variety of biomedical, chemical, electronic, and functional materials applications, and these particles are expected to provide a unique handle in manipulating and sensing nanostructures. Since this field would greatly benefit from multidisciplinary interactions from chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers, the main goal of this conference would be to create a technical and professional environment in which participants from diverse disciplines could interact. This conference will be designed to discuss recent trends and activities related to biomagnetic nanoparticles and initiation of future collaborations among the attendees. Biomagnetic nanoparticles are unique materials, properties of which could be controlled, transported and imaged using external fields. Four specific topic areas will be highlighted at this conference: a) Biosensors and imaging; b) Biomagnetic separations and transport; c) Biomedical applications such as drug delivery; and d) Career and professional development opportunities for students.

生物材料计划在材料研究部门授予克莱姆森大学的奖项是为学生提供支持，以参加科罗拉多州特柳赖德的题为“生物磁颗粒IV的前沿IV”的会议。这三天的研讨会的重点是生物磁纳米材料作为具有广泛生物医学，环境和工业应用的携带者的综合，表征和控制。这项国际活动将使科学家，工程师和生物医学专业人员聚集在一起，并将介绍他们的最新研究和结果，并讨论这个快速增长且高度跨学科的领域。该研讨会建立在这些研究者组织的三个成功会议上。该提案的更广泛的影响目标是增加妇女和代表性不足的少数民族在科学和工程领域的参与。这种旅行支持将为他们提供与正常教育经验以外的其他科学家进行互动和建立联系的独特机会。此外，组织者将尽一切努力使至少50％的女性和少数族裔学生作为会议主持人，以领导会议上提出的研究主题的讨论。魔法颗粒是一种具有生物医学，化学，电子，电子和功能性材料应用的能力，并且预计这些颗粒将在操纵和感知中提供独特的手柄。由于该领域将大大受益于化学家，生物学家，物理学家和工程师的多学科互动，因此本次会议的主要目标是创造一个技术和专业的环境，其中来自不同学科的参与者可以互动。这次会议将旨在讨论与生物磁纳米颗粒有关的最新趋势和活动，并在与会者中启动未来的合作。生物磁纳米颗粒是独特的材料，可以使用外部场对其特性进行控制，运输和成像。在本次会议上将突出四个特定的主题领域：a）生物传感器和成像； b）生物磁分离和运输； c）生物医学应用，例如药物输送； d）学生的职业和专业发展机会。
