DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 proposal by the Program Chair (as PI) seeks support of selected junior and minority-class podium speakers, and 3 graduate student poster research presentation awards at the Biomaterials Interfaces Division (BID) Technical Meeting program, part of the AVS 53rd International Symposium and Exhibition occurring November 12- 17, 2006 at the Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, CA. The general theme of this year's BID technical conference is centered on progress and innovations in characterization and control of biological interactions with materials, surfaces and structures, across several scaling regimes, from the macroscopic to nanoscopic. The program design keeps with its highly regarded tradition in bringing together world-renowned scientists, bioengineers and clinicians all seeking to understand materials- centered issues in the context of bio-interfacial research and technology. My specific aims in assembling this meeting are to: 1) Provide a rich, diverse scientific program focusing on both fundamental phenomena that constrain bio-performance of biomaterials and biotechnology in several biomedical and diagnostic arenas (i.e., hurdles of moving toward translational research), as well as key areas of materials- biology interactions where investigators are engineering solutions to either biotechnological (e.g., bio-assay, sensing) or more clinically relevant (implant materials, drug delivery, imaging, tissue engineering) problems using novel approaches from a surface, analytical, materials engineering and/or biological perspective; 2) Gather a group of presenters and participants comprising widely acknowledged thought-leaders as well as younger, aggressive, and vibrant faculty already notable for the novelty and quality of their work. Speakers and session chairs will represent both academic and commercial research efforts, comprising diagnostic and imaging experts, bioengineers, and basic surface and materials scientists all working in this area of biomaterials and drug delivery, imaging techniques, diagnostic methods, device and tissue engineering. Emphasis will be placed on junior participants and under-represented components of the population involved in these areas. This group will similarly represent the gender diversity characteristic of faculty working in these areas; 3) Facilitate interactions between junior and under-represented minority scientists and faculty working in the biomaterials, surface analytical, miniaturization, diagnostic, drug delivery, MEMs and bioengineering areas with prominent senior and international investigators in the field. A number of relevant leading scientists and engineers from companies working in these technology areas are also recruited to participate using the new "Commercial Challenge" podium opportunity.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目主席（作为 PI）的 R13 提案寻求选定的初级和少数群体讲台演讲者的支持，以及生物材料界面部门 (BID) 技术会议项目上的 3 个研究生海报研究演示奖，这是 2006 年 11 月 12 日至 17 日在加利福尼亚州旧金山莫斯康会议中心举行的 AVS 第 53 届国际研讨会和展览的一部分。今年 BID 技术会议的总主题集中在从宏观到纳米尺度的多个尺度范围内，生物与材料、表面和结构相互作用的表征和控制方面的进展和创新。该项目的设计秉承了其备受推崇的传统，将世界知名的科学家、生物工程师和临床医生聚集在一起，他们都致力于了解生物界面研究和技术背景下以材料为中心的问题。我组织这次会议的具体目标是：1）提供丰富、多样化的科学计划，重点关注限制生物材料和生物技术在多个生物医学和诊断领域的生物性能的基本现象（即转向转化研究的障碍），以及材料-生物学相互作用的关键领域，研究人员正在为生物技术（例如生物测定、传感）或更临床相关（植入材料、药物输送、成像、组织工程）从表面、分析、材料工程和/或生物学角度使用新方法解决的问题； 2) 聚集一组演讲者和参与者，其中包括广受认可的思想领袖以及年轻、积极进取、充满活力的教师，他们已经因其工作的新颖性和质量而闻名。演讲者和会议主席将代表学术和商业研究工作，包括诊断和成像专家、生物工程师以及基础表面和材料科学家，他们都在生物材料和药物输送、成像技术、诊断方法、设备和组织工程领域工作。重点将放在这些领域的初级参与者和代表性不足的人群上。该群体同样代表了在这些领域工作的教师的性别多样性特征； 3) 促进在生物材料、表面分析、微型化、诊断、药物输送、MEM 和生物工程领域工作的初级和代表性不足的少数族裔科学家和教师与该领域著名的高级和国际研究人员之间的互动。利用新的“商业挑战”讲台机会，还招募了来自这些技术领域公司的一些相关领先科学家和工程师来参加。
