Science is a process that seeks to understand the natural world. These
processes of discovery and conceptualization involve the development of
hypotheses and theories based on observation and experimentation. In
biology, revolutionary changes have most often been catalyzed by new
tools and technologies that have been developed and used in the
scientific method. Examples include the development of: 1) nuclear
chemistry and radioisotope tracing for dissecting the major metabolic
pathways in the 1940-1950s; 2) electron microscopy for imaging cytoplasm
and membrane structure in the 1960-1970s; and 3) molecular biotechnology
and the explosion in the study of molecular biology and genetics that
emerged in the 1980s.  Because of these advances, research is now moving
into an era dominated by new disciplines, including bioinformatics,
cytomics, genomics, ionomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, to name a
few. These emerging fields are based on advancing technologies and are
providing more and more information that now needs to be integrated into
understanding broader relationships. Because of this, the attention of
researchers is returning to integration in terms of form and function in
biosystems. This neo-physiological approach will, in turn, be dependent
upon the development and application of physiological sensor
technologies that are multidimensional and dynamic. This revolution has
already begun and includes work in biosensors, biomaterials, scanning
probe microsensors, biomimetics, and lab-on-a-chip technologies
(BioMEMS, and microfluidics). This symposium seeks to provide a
framework for this emerging field by bringing together researchers to
share ideas from across this interdisciplinary domain.
