The 3rd International Conference on CRISPR Technologies will be held in Wurzburg, Germany on September 16-18, 2019. This conference provides a multidisciplinary forum for biologists, chemists, engineers, and ethicists to advance Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technologies for genetic manipulation. Organized under the auspices of the Society for Biological Engineering (SBE), a technical community within the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), this international conference will bring together renowned experts, established researchers, young investigators, private sector scientists and engineers, and graduate students. This group will assess the state of CRISPR technologies and identify the challenges of integrating genome engineering approaches in cells, plants, and animals. Importantly, the social, ethical, and economic implications of CRISPR-based technologies will be heavily emphasized. CRISPR technologies have advanced rapidly in the past decade and have already proven to be transformational for genome engineering. Present and future applications of CRISPR technologies range from medicinal therapeutics and organ transplantation to uses in livestock, crops, food organisms, and industrial microbes. While our knowledge of different CRISPR systems is rapidly advancing, the lack of integration between biologists and engineers impairs the safe and effective implementation of basic research into clinical and industrial applications. For example, an integrated approach that brings biologists and engineers together would greatly benefit efforts to produce CRISPR-edited organoids from engineered cells to ultimately reconstruct tissues that could be transplanted into patients. Additionally, CRISPR-based approaches will be critical in engineering livestock and agriculture that can better perform in our rapidly changing climate. These ambitious goals require the intersection of viewpoints, knowledge, and technologies from multiple disciplines, and this conference will provide a mechanism for such collaborations. Furthermore, the broader social and ethical implications of genome editing will be a highlighted topic of discussion. The Society for Biological Engineering has a very strong track record in organizing important new scientific meetings, and the proceedings of the conference will be disseminated to the public on AIChE's website.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第三届 CRISPR 技术国际会议将于 2019 年 9 月 16-18 日在德国维尔茨堡举行。本次会议为生物学家、化学家、工程师和伦理学家提供了一个多学科论坛，以推进成簇规则间隔短回文重复 (CRISPR) 技术的发展基因操纵。本次国际会议在美国化学工程师学会 (AIChE) 内的技术团体生物工程协会 (SBE) 的赞助下举办，将汇集知名专家、知名研究人员、年轻研究人员、私营部门科学家和工程师以及研究生。 该小组将评估 CRISPR 技术的现状，并确定在细胞、植物和动物中整合基因组工程方法所面临的挑战。重要的是，基于 CRISPR 的技术的社会、伦理和经济影响将得到重点强调。 CRISPR 技术在过去十年中发展迅速，并已被证明对基因组工程具有革命性的意义。 CRISPR 技术当前和未来的应用范围从药物治疗和器官移植到牲畜、农作物、食品生物和工业微生物的应用。虽然我们对不同 CRISPR 系统的了解正在迅速发展，但生物学家和工程师之间缺乏整合，影响了基础研究安全有效地转化为临床和工业应用。例如，将生物学家和工程师聚集在一起的综合方法将极大地有利于从工程细胞生产 CRISPR 编辑的类器官，最终重建可移植到患者体内的组织。此外，基于 CRISPR 的方法对于改造畜牧业和农业至关重要，以便在快速变化的气候中更好地发挥作用。这些雄心勃勃的目标需要来自多个学科的观点、知识和技术的交叉，而本次会议将为这种合作提供一种机制。此外，基因组编辑更广泛的社会和伦理影响将成为重点讨论的话题。生物工程学会在组织重要的新科学会议方面拥有非常出色的记录，会议记录将在 AIChE 网站上向公众发布。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用评估方法进行评估，认为值得支持。基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
