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.

这笔赠款将使 13 名研究生和 6 名早期职业教师能够参加将于 2023 年 1 月 8 日至 11 日在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉举行的第 12 届国际生物分子工程会议 (ICBE)。生物分子工程利用强大且多功能的工具促进从新型生物催化剂的设计到指导微生物组识别和消灭病毒和微生物病原体等应用领域的科学和工程。 ICBE 系列会议于 2007 年启动，旨在促进学术界、国家实验室和工业分子研究人员开发和应用分子工程方法之间的互动。本次会议将有 24 位全体发言人、三位主旨发言人和一个海报会议。由于没有平行会议，会议结构旨在鼓励已建立的研究人员和早期职业研究人员之间的互动，并促进对后者的指导。此外，受邀演讲者的选择也体现了高度的多样性。会议的组织主题是：生物分子工程如何应对医疗保健、能源和环境方面的巨大挑战？ 生物分子工程提供了彻底改变许多不同行业并对​​社会产生积极影响的潜力。例如，生物分子工程的进步旨在开发更有效和可持续的食品、燃料和化学品生产方法。在医学领域，生物分子工程促进了新药、诊断测试和有助于治疗和治愈疾病的疗法的开发。此外，生物分子工程有潜力帮助解决气候变化和清洁能源需求等全球挑战。化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部 (ENG/CBET) 以及分子和细胞生物科学部 (BIO/MCB) 为该奖项提供了资金。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得支持通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
