This grant will make it possible for 13 graduate students and 6 early career faculty to attend the 12th International Conference on Biomolecular Engineering (ICBE) to be held in Santa Barbara, CA on January 8-11, 2023. Biomolecular engineering utilizes powerful and versatile tools for advancing science and engineering in applications ranging from the design of new biocatalysts to directing microbiomes to identify and destroy viral and microbial pathogens. The ICBE conference series was initiated in 2007 to foster interaction among academic, national laboratory, and industrial molecular researchers developing and applying molecular engineering methods. This conference will feature 24 plenary speakers, three keynote speakers, and a poster session. With no parallel sessions, the meeting structure is designed to encourage interaction between established and early career researchers and promote mentoring of the latter. Also, the selection of invited speakers represents a high level of diversity. The organizing theme of the conference is the question: How can biomolecular engineering address grand challenges in healthcare, energy and the environment? Biomolecular engineering provides the potential to revolutionize many different industries and positively impact of society. For example, advances in biomolecular engineering are aimed at developing more efficient and sustainable methods of producing food, fuels, and chemicals. In the medical field, biomolecular engineering has led to the development of new drugs, diagnostic tests, and therapies that can help treat and cure diseases. Additionally, biomolecular engineering has the potential to help address global challenges such as climate change and the need for clean energy. The Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (ENG/CBET), and the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (BIO/MCB) contributed funds to this award.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.

该赠款将使13名研究生和6名早期职业教师参加2023年1月8日至11日在加利福尼亚州圣塔芭芭拉举行的第12届国际生物分子工程会议（ICBE）。从新的生物催化剂设计到指导微生物群以识别和破坏病毒和微生物病原体的应用程序，以推进科学和工程。 ICBE会议系列于2007年启动，以促进发展和应用分子工程方法的学术，国家实验室和工业分子研究人员之间的相互作用。这次会议将以24个全体扬声器，三位主题演讲者和海报会议为特色。没有平行的会议，会议结构旨在鼓励建立和早期职业研究人员之间的互动并促进后者的指导。同样，被邀请的演讲者的选择代表了高度的多样性。会议的组织主题是一个问题：生物分子工程如何应对医疗保健，能源和环境的巨大挑战？ 生物分子工程提供了革新许多不同行业和社会积极影响的潜力。例如，生物分子工程的进步旨在开发生产食品，燃料和化学物质的更高效和可持续的方法。在医学领域，生物分子工程导致了新药，诊断测试和可以帮助治疗和治愈疾病的疗法的开发。此外，生物分子工程有可能帮助应对全球挑战，例如气候变化和清洁能源的需求。化学，生物工程，环境和运输系统（ENG/CBET）以及分子和蜂窝生物科学（BIO/MCB）的分部为该奖项提供了资金。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得支持的支持。通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准进行评估。
