Bethesda, Maryland
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and the Department of Energy (DOE) conducted a joint "Workshop on Biomedical Applications of Nanotechnology" on March 17-18 at the Bethesda Hyatt Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland. The workshop was sponsored by the NIBIB, the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), and the DOE Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER). A total of about 200 researchers, program managers, and administrative staff from the NIH, DOE national laboratories, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) attended the meeting. Objectives of the workshop were to (1) make DOE national laboratory scientists and NIST researchers aware of NIH needs and potential new biomedical applications on nanotechnology, (2) make NIH researchers and program staff aware of DOE and NIST technologic resources and expertise, (3) identify scientific opportunities associated with DOE/NIH/NIST interactions, and (4) promote interagency collaborations among research scientists at the NIH, DOE laboratories, and the NIST. The program included presentations on related programs and funding opportunities at NIH institutes, overviews of nanotechnology centers at DOE laboratories and the NIST, plenary presentations on various aspects of bionanotechnology, featured talks by invited speakers, and about 65 poster displays. Workshop Coordinators were Drs. Peter Kirchner and Richard Swaja of the NIBIB, Dr. John Miller of DOE/BES, and Dr. Michael Viola of DOE/BER. Drs. Mitch Doktycz and Michael Simpson of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Dr. Angela Hight-Walker of NIST assisted with development of the technical program. Ms. Stacy Wallick of the NIBIB coordinated meeting logistics and overall program organization. The following text provides links to (1) the workshop poster, (2) the foreword and agenda, (3) a list of participants, (4) a list of posters displayed at the meeting, (5) abstracts of posters, (6) and files of featured talks given by Drs. Jeff Schloss (NIH/NHGRI), James Roberto (ORNL), and Clayton Teague (NIST and NNCO).
