DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A one-day symposium on the Mechanics of Development will be held on June 21, 2011, immediately prior to the 2011 Summer Bioengineering Conference in Farmington, Pennsylvania. This symposium will be the Third US National Symposium on Frontiers in Biomechanics, which is sponsored by the US National Committee on Biomechanics (USNCB). The emerging fields of developmental mechanics, synthetic biology, and tissue engineering have stimulated increased interest in the physical aspects of development, a topic that has been largely ignored during the last two decades. This meeting will bring together developmental biologists, bioengineers, and biophysicists to discuss recent advances in this new field and how new collaborations can attack specific problems in embryonic development. The main objectives of this meeting are (1) to foster collaborations between engineers and developmental biologists; (2) to stimulate interest among engineers in embryonic development; and (3) to define problems in developmental biology that deserve more attention in the future, especially those problems that are relatively unknown or underappreciated by the engineering community. At this meeting, speakers will discuss how they attack specific problems in embryonic development, as well as what they feel are the most important areas for future study. Expanded research in these topics would greatly benefit the health of our society by leading, for example, to new treatments for diseases from the embryo to old age. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Research into the physical aspects of tissue and organ development can lead to new treatments for various diseases from the embryo to old age. The symposium on the Mechanics of Development will gather leading biologists, bioengineers, and biophysicists to discuss recent advances in this field and how new collaborations can attack specific problems. This meeting proposes to bring together both prominent researchers and young investigators from these three fields seeking new areas of collaboration and research.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于开发机制的为期一天的研讨会将于2011年6月21日举行，紧接在宾夕法尼亚州法明顿举行的2011年夏季生物工程会议之前。该研讨会将是美国国家生物力学委员会（USNCB）赞助的美国第三届《生物力学领域》中的第三届美国国家国家研讨会。发育力学，合成生物学和组织工程的新兴领域激发了人们对发展的物理方面的兴趣，这一主题在过去二十年中一直在很大程度上被忽略。这次会议将汇集开发生物学家，生物工程师和生物物理学家，讨论这个新领域的最新进展，以及新的合作如何攻击胚胎开发中的特定问题。这次会议的主要目标是（1）促进工程师与发展生物学家之间的合作； （2）激发工程师对胚胎发展的兴趣； （3）定义发育生物学中应有更多关注的发育生物学问题，尤其是那些相对未知或不被工程界忽视的问题。在这次会议上，演讲者将讨论他们如何攻击胚胎开发中的特定问题，以及他们认为是未来研究的最重要领域。这些主题的扩展研究将通过领导从胚胎到老年的新疾病治疗，从而极大地使我们社会的健康受益。 公共卫生相关性：对组织和器官发育的物理方面的研究可能会导致从胚胎到老年的各种疾病的新疗法。关于发展机制的研讨会将聚集主要的生物学家，生物工程师和生物物理学家，讨论该领域的最新进展以及新合作如何攻击特定问题。这次会议建议将这三个领域的著名研究人员和年轻研究人员汇集在一起​​，以寻求新的合作和研究领域。
