项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This international meeting, "Protein Assembly in Materials, Biology and Medicine: Direct Impact on Biological Nanosciences", addresses a global interest in the role that protein self assembly plays in biomaterials development, biological processes and medicine. The self-assembly field actively contributes to several broad research areas and as a result has undergone significant growth. However, researchers who study self-assembling systems come from very different disciplines ranging from chemistry, biology, engineering, computation and medicine, all studying self-assembly processes from their own perspective. This meeting will bring together international experts in materials science, structural biology, amyloid disease, protein design and physical chemistry, all who study self-assembly from their own distinct perspectives. Bringing interactions that can contribute to biomaterials research, specifically biomaterials design, analytical methods for interrogating biomaterials, and the study of molecular assemblies, that we feel provide paradigms and engineering principles for new biomaterials conception. The aim of this cross disciplinary workshop is to generate fresh perspectives and novel ideas pertaining to self-assembly with immediate impact on the multiple fields in which self-assembly plays an important role. In addition, this meeting will bring a core of United States scientists in contact with world experts in these areas; will not be non-US scientists who do not frequently travel to the US, and who might not be personally known by our US participants. We expect diverse collaborations across international boundaries to result among those participating in the workshop. These unconventional collaborations will produce breakthrough insights into many unsolved problems in materials science, biology and medicine and will become an incubator for the development of new innovative technologies. The meeting format is small and intimate (~about 36 speakers, eleven of which are females, 8 early career scientist and 3 assistant professors) encouraging personal interactions. In addition to the organizers, more than 50% of the speakers are from the US with other speakers invited from Japan, UK, Israel, France, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, India, and China.

描述（由申请人提供）：这次国际会议，“材料，生物学和医学中的蛋白质组装：对生物纳米科学的直接影响”，探讨了蛋白质自组装在生物材料开发，生物过程和医学中发挥作用的作用的全球兴趣。自组装领域积极贡献了几个广泛的研究领域，因此已经实现了显着的增长。但是，研究自组装系统的研究人员来自化学，生物学，工程，计算和医学的截然不同的学科，所有学科都从自己的角度研究了自组装过程。这次会议将汇集材料科学，结构生物学，淀粉样蛋白疾病，蛋白质设计和物理化学的国际专家，他们都是从自己独特的角度研究自组装的。带来可以有助于生物材料研究的相互作用，特别是生物材料设计，用于询问生物材料的分析方法以及对分子组件的研究，我们认为我们为新生物材料概念提供了范式和工程原则。这个跨学科研讨会的目的是产生与自组装有关的新鲜观点和新颖的想法，并立即影响自组装起着重要作用的多个领域。此外，这次会议将使美国科学家的核心与这些领域的世界专家接触；不会是非美国科学家，他们不经常前往美国，也不是我们的美国参与者认识的。我们预计，在参加研讨会的人中，在国际边界之间进行了多样化的合作。这些非常规的合作将对材料科学，生物学和医学中许多未解决的问题产生突破性的见解，并将成为开发新创新技术的孵化器。会议格式很小且亲密（约有36位演讲者，其中11位是女性，8位职业科学家和3位助理教授）鼓励个人互动。除组织者外，超过50％的发言人来自美国，来自日本，英国，以色列，法国，瑞典，德国，瑞士，希腊，印度和中国的其他发言人。
