项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The field of stem cells has rapidly emerged as an important area of research in biology, bioengineering, and medicine; however, there no forums that bring together biologists and engineers to discuss ways in which their two disciplines can collaborate to find novel solutions to fundamental and applied problems that are limiting the development of new technologies and therapies. In response to this need, we are organizing and instituting the Second International Conference on Stem Cell Engineering (ICSCE). This meeting will be held every two years and covers the breadth of Stem Cell Engineering to promote, shape, and refine new directions in this emerging field. The Theme of this second meeting is "Engineering Cell Fate", and the Aims of this conference are to provide a venue: 1. For scientific presentations from a diverse group of leading biology and engineering researchers who cover the breadth of Stem Cell Engineering. 2. For interactions between academic and industry researchers, who bring different approaches and perspectives to the field. 3. For active participation by Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers, who represent the future of stem cell biology and engineering. 4. For bringing biologists and engineers together to provide an atmosphere and venue to discuss their disciplines and approaches, and to motivate new research into barriers limiting the development of stem cell-based technologies. The scope, theme, and aims of the meeting fall squarely within the mission of the NIH/NHLBI, which has been increasingly committed to integrating the engineering sciences with the life sciences, encouraging research and development in multidisciplinary areas, and educating the next generation of young scientists and translational medicine. This application, if successful, will directly impact Aims 3 and 4, by providing partial support for graduate student/postdoctoral associate participants, and by providing a forum for the interactions between normally separated leading scientists and engineers to stimulate new ideas that could benefit economic and health-related activity. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The field of stem cell research has rapidly emerged as an important area in biology, bioengineering, and medicine; however, there no forums that bring together biologists and engineers to discuss ways in which their two disciplines can collaborate to find novel solutions to fundamental and applied problems that are limiting the development of new technologies and therapies. In response to this need, we are organizing the Second International Conference on Stem Cell Engineering (ICSCE). The goal of the conference is to promote and facilitate fundamental and translational research in science and engineering that will impact public health in the coming years.

描述（由申请人提供）：干细胞领域已迅速成为生物学、生物工程和医学研究的重要领域；然而，没有论坛将生物学家和工程师聚集在一起，讨论他们的两个学科如何合作，为限制新技术和疗法发展的基本和应用问题找到新的解决方案。针对这一需求，我们正在组织举办第二届国际干细胞工程会议（ICSCE）。该会议将每两年举行一次，涵盖干细胞工程的广度，以促进、塑造和完善这一新兴领域的新方向。第二次会议的主题是“工程细胞命运”，本次会议的目的是提供一个场所： 1. 涵盖干细胞工程广度的不同领域的领先生物学和工程研究人员进行科学演讲。 2. 学术界和行业研究人员之间的互动，他们为该领域带来了不同的方法和观点。 3. 博士生的积极参与学生和博士后研究人员，他们代表了干细胞生物学和工程的未来。 4. 将生物学家和工程师聚集在一起，提供讨论他们的学科和方法的氛围和场所，并激发对限制干细胞技术发展的障碍进行新的研究。会议的范围、主题和目标完全符合 NIH/NHLBI 的使命，NIH/NHLBI 越来越致力于将工程科学与生命科学相结合，鼓励多学科领域的研究和开发，并教育下一代青年科学家和转化医学。该应用程序如果成功，将直接影响目标 3 和 4，为研究生/博士后助理参与者提供部分支持，并为通常分开的领先科学家和工程师之间的互动提供一个论坛，以激发有利于经济和社会发展的新想法。与健康相关的活动。公共卫生相关性：干细胞研究领域已迅速成为生物学、生物工程和医学的重要领域；然而，没有论坛能够将生物学家和工程师聚集在一起，讨论他们的两个学科如何合作，为限制新技术和疗法发展的基本和应用问题找到新的解决方案。为了满足这一需求，我们正在组织第二届国际干细胞工程会议（ICSCE）。会议的目标是促进和促进科学和工程领域的基础研究和转化研究，这些研究将在未来几年影响公众健康。
