The 2019 Faraday Discussion on the Nanolithography of Biointerfaces brought together a diverse set of interdisciplinary scientists involved in the seemingly disparate fields of materials science, nanolithography and glycoscience. The setting and format of this meeting renders the experience unique, and anyone in the audience is instantly engaged in the debate. This Faraday Discussion attracted about sixty delegates, ranging from graduate students and early career researchers to full professors. The meeting was a reflection on how far lithography techniques, tissue engineering and glycoscience have come, with the aid of scientists working at the realm of the nanoscale. True to its name, this gathering was also a discussion on what the outstanding questions in glycobiology are and how nanolithography can be appropriately applied to answer them. In this report, we will give an overview of the topics and discussions covered during the meeting and highlight the content of each session.
2019 年 Faraday 生物界面纳米光刻讨论汇聚了一组多元化的跨学科科学家，他们涉及看似不同的领域，包括材料科学、纳米光刻和糖科学。该会议的环境和形式使得参会体验独具特色，任何在场的人都会立即参与到讨论中来。此次 Faraday 讨论吸引了约 60 名代表，涵盖了从研究生和早期职业研究人员到正教授的各个层次。会议反思了光刻技术、组织工程和糖科学在纳米尺度的科学家的帮助下已经取得了多大的进展。名副其实的是，这次聚会也是一次关于糖生物学中仍存在的突出问题以及纳米光刻如何适当地应用于回答这些问题的讨论。在本报告中，我们将概述会议期间涵盖的主题和讨论，并重点介绍每个环节的内容。
