该奖项将支持一个研讨会，“海洋生物无机化学”， 由Kenneth L.教授联合组织。雷蒙德大学 加州伯克利大学的克利福德·霍金斯教授 澳大利亚昆士兰州。 与会者将在苍鹭岛举行会议， 澳大利亚于1989年6月进行联合实地试验，并计划 在这个新领域的合作项目。生物无机化学是 以金属离子为关键的生物过程的研究 件. 到目前为止，在这个快速发展的领域，生物无机 海洋化学尚未被研究，尽管这门学科 应该是非常重要的，由于浓度和运输 从海水到海水， 有机体 苍鹭岛海洋研究站是世界上最大、设备最好的海洋研究站。 在澳大利亚的一个岛上，是一个理想的地点，为研讨会， 来促进这一重要领域的研究。 这项研究可以 导致陆地和海洋生物学的新发现， tebrates，并可能最终开发新的治疗方法， 化合物对人类

This award will support a seminar, "Marine Bioinorganic Chemistry", organized jointly by Prof. Kenneth L. Raymond of the University of California, Berkeley, and Prof. Clifford Hawkins of the University of Queensland, Australia. Participants will meet on Heron Island, Australia in June 1989 to conduct joint field experiments and plan collaborative projects in this new field. Bioinorganic chemistry is the study of biological processes involving metal ions as key components. As yet, in this rapidly growing field, the bioinorganic chemistry of the sea has not been studied, although the discipline should be of great importance due to the concentration and transport of metal ions across concentration gradients, from seawater to organisms. The Heron Island Marine Research Station, the largest and best-equipped on an Australian island, is an ideal location for a seminar intended to stimulate research in this important field. This research could lead to new discoveries in the biology of terrestrial and marine inver- tebrates, and possibly eventually to the development of new therapeutic compounds for humans.
