Travel Grant for Workshop on Molecular & Developmental Biology of Drosophila, August 28-September 4, 1988, Kolymbari, Crete, Greece

本次研讨会的主题是分子和 果蝇的发育生物学 的各种优点 果蝇作为实验系统， 果蝇发育过程中基因功能最快的一种 在生物学中不断增长的领域。 爆炸的原因之一是 事实上，果蝇提供了一个独特的优势，即 有机会使用组合方法处理特定问题 遗传学、胚胎学、细胞和分子生物学。 如果我们 是为了深入了解后生动物 发展，多学科的实验方法， 明显的优势。 然而，这种做法也带来了问题， 一个研究者掌握 完全了解所有这些学科，或者了解所有最新的 预付款。 考虑到这些事实，因此，定期会议 是至关重要的。 它 这是EMBO研讨会的目的，题为“分子 和果蝇发育生物学”，为 自由交流信息和建立 许多代表之间的许多合作， 来自世界各地的主要果蝇实验室。 提供的少量资金将为以下人员提供部分差旅费 大约十名年轻的美国科学家参加， 积极参与这个备受推崇的EMBO研讨会。 的 讲习班本身结构良好，可有效促进 跨学科交流和促进理想的合作。 美国年轻科学家的参与是非常可取的。

The principal theme of this workshop is the molecular and developmental biology of Drosophila. The various advantages of the fruit fly as an experimental system have made the analysis of Drosophila gene function during development one of the fastest growing fields in biology. One reason for this explosion is the fact that Drosophila offers a singular advantage, namely, the opportunity to approach particular questions using a combination of genetics, embryology, cellular and molecular biology. If we are to gain insight into the rules underlying metazoan development, a multidisciplinary experimental approach has obvious advantages. Yet, such an approach also poses the problem that it is not often the case that a researcher masters completely all those disciplines, or is aware of all the latest advances. Considering these facts, therefore, regular meetings of a diverse group of leading Drosophila workers are crucial. It is the intention of this EMBO workshop, entitled "The Molecular and Developmental Biology of Drosophila", to provide a forum for the free exchange of information and for the establishment of numerous collaborations between representatives of many of the major Drosophila laboratories from around the world. The modest funds provided will provide partial travel costs for approximately ten young American scientists to attend and actively participate in this highly regarded EMBO Workshop. The workshop itself is well-structured to effectively promote interdisciplinary exchange and to foster desirable collaboration. The participation of young U.S. scientists is highly desirable.
