A new generation of scientists, engineers, and clinicians, educated more broadly than their predecessors, speak the languages of both and are working together in unprecedented ways. They are conversing across disciplines – not only engineering and biology, but also chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computation – and setting new paths for innovation, from initial discovery to the launch of advanced applications in the marketplace.
这些和其他创新正在通过方兴未艾的生物学和工程学的趋同涌现。新一代科学家、工程师和临床医生，他们受到的教育比前辈范围更广，能够互相听懂语言，并以前所未有的方式共事。他们进行着跨学科对话——不仅是工程学和生物学，也包括化学、物理学、数学和计算机——并寻找新的创新之路，让初始发现转变为市场中的成熟应用。
