This award supports students and postdoctoral scholars from US Institutions to attend the International Workshop on Future Trends in DNA-based Nanotechnology (DNATEC17), which will take place in May 2017 at Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany. DNA has developed to be a "designer molecule" that can be used to construct complex artificial nanostructures with a precision and complexity not easily achievable by conventional lithographic techniques. DNA nanotechnology has - in an engineering context - become a pioneering field of employing basic biological principles such as molecular recognition and self-assembly for advanced materials synthesis. DNATEC17 aims at summarizing the enormous progress in the rapidly growing cross-disciplinary field of nucleic acid-based nanotechnology, and enhancing the exchange of ideas and understanding by bringing under the same roof experts from different fields of physics, biophysics, chemistry, biology, computer science and materials science. Supported by this award, students and postdocs attending this workshop will gain an understanding of the process of creating and developing sound scientific ideas. There is a unique blend of theory and practice in DNA-based nanotechnology, from a range of academic disciplines. Interdisciplinarity is absolutely engrained within the goals of this workshop. At DNATEC17, young scholars will see that the leaders in their field are devoted to the idea of producing the highest quality interdisciplinary research. A full day of tutorials at the beginning of the conference will facilitate students' understanding of work from a variety of fields.This award will help to foster the development of the next generation of molecular designers and molecular programmers, by encouraging students to attend, present their work, and interact with other important players in the field. The workshop will: 1. cover aspects including structural DNA nanotechnology, DNA-based machinery, advanced imaging techniques, structure modeling for nucleic acid-based nanostructures as well as DNA nanotechnology for programmable molecular circuitry, intracellular biocomputation and synthetic biology. 2. address basic scientific questions that have to be solved in near future and that are related to both the creation of novel designer rules for advanced assembly of complex 3D structures and the successful transfer of the latter into more applicative fields. Approximately 20 outstanding students and postdoctoral scholars from US institutions will be funded by this award to support their travel to the workshop.By attending DNATEC17, students and postdoctoral scholars from US Institution working in the field of DNA nanotechnology will have the opportunity to present their work to an audience of international scientists. This will facilitate their interaction with the international research community and greatly foster collaborations between the young scientists in US institution with scientists from other nations, leading to potential international collaborations.

该奖项支持来自美国机构的学生和博士后学者参加基于 DNA 的纳米技术未来趋势国际研讨会 (DNATEC17)，该研讨会将于 2017 年 5 月在德国德累斯顿马克斯普朗克复杂系统物理研究所举行。 DNA 已发展成为一种“设计分子”，可用于构建复杂的人造纳米结构，其精度和复杂性是传统光刻技术难以实现的。 DNA 纳米技术在工程领域已成为利用分子识别和自组装等基本生物学原理来合成先进材料的先驱领域。 DNATEC17旨在总结基于核酸的纳米技术快速发展的跨学科领域的巨大进展，通过将来自物理、生物物理、化学、生物学、计算机等不同领域的专家聚集在同一屋檐下，加强思想交流和理解。科学和材料科学。在该奖项的支持下，参加本次研讨会的学生和博士后将了解创造和发展合理科学思想的过程。基于 DNA 的纳米技术具有来自一系列学科的理论与实践的独特结合。跨学科性绝对是本次研讨会的目标之一。在 DNATEC17 上，年轻学者将看到各自领域的领导者致力于进行最高质量的跨学科研究。会议开始时一整天的教程将有助于学生了解各个领域的工作。该奖项将通过鼓励学生参加、展示，有助于促进下一代分子设计师和分子程序员的发展他们的工作，并与该领域的其他重要参与者互动。研讨会将： 1. 涵盖结构DNA纳米技术、基于DNA的机械、先进成像技术、基于核酸的纳米结构的结构建模以及用于可编程分子电路、细胞内生物计算和合成生物学的DNA纳米技术等方面。 2. 解决在不久的将来必须解决的基本科学问题，这些问题与为复杂 3D 结构的高级组装创建新颖的设计规则以及将后者成功转移到更多应用领域相关。该奖项将资助约20名来自美国院校的优秀学生和博士后学者参加研讨会。通过参加DNATEC17，在DNA纳米技术领域工作的美国院校学生和博士后学者将有机会展示他们的工作向国际科学家观众展示。这将促进他们与国际研究界的互动，并极大地促进美国机构的年轻科学家与其他国家的科学家之间的合作，从而产生潜在的国际合作。
