In January of 2020, the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)- Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) conference was held in Puerto Rico and themed “Vision 2020: Emerging Technologies to Elucidate the Rule of Life.” The annual BME-CMBE conference gathered worldwide leaders and discussed successes and challenges in engineering biological systems and their translation. The goal of this report is to present the research frontiers in this field and provide perspectives on successful engineering and translation towards the clinic. We hope that this report serves as a constructive guide in shaping the future of research and translation of engineered biological systems.

2020年1月，生物医学工程学会（BMES）-细胞与分子生物工程（CMBE）会议在波多黎各召开，主题为“Vision 2020：Emerging Technologies to Elucidate the Rule of Life”。一年一度的 BME-CMBE 会议聚集了全球领导人，讨论了工程生物系统及其转化方面的成功和挑战。本报告的目的是介绍该领域的研究前沿，并就成功的工程和临床转化提供观点。我们希望这份报告能够为塑造工程生物系统的研究和转化的未来提供建设性的指导。
