Description: "To promote development of a new generation of characterization technologies, BER hosted the workshop, New Frontiers in Characterizing Biological Systems, in May 2009. Experts from scientific disciplines relevant to DOE missions and from the enabling technologies (e.g., optical spectroscopy, genomic sequencing technology, electrochemistry, electron microscopy, and mass spectrometry) met to determine the opportunities and requirements for identifying and developing new tools and analytical approaches for characterizing cellular- and multicellularlevel functions and processes that are essential to develop solutions for DOE missions in biofuels, carbon cycling and biosequestration, low dose radiation, and environmental stewardship. The intent of the workshop was to broadly explore future technology capabilities that are needed, not current technologies and their development"--P. 2 of cover.
