Workshop on Imaging the Cell during Development and Reproduction: Coquimbo, Chile; January 11-30, 1993

这项美洲项目奖金将支持一个实验室工作坊课程，使年轻科学家熟悉探索细胞和分子水平结构事件的现代方法。利用海洋和哺乳动物配子和胚胎的先进成像技术，观察细胞周期和发育过程中的动态事件。成像设备在细胞和发育生物学的广泛领域的应用，以及从这种技术中获得的生物学见解，将继续导致重要的发现。该研讨会由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的Gerald Schatten博士和智利天主教大学的Claudio Barros博士组织，将在智利科金博北部天主教大学海洋实验室举行。参与者是具有博士后水平的年轻科学家，他们将来自南美洲和中美洲以及其他国家。该计划应导致科学/技术信息的非常成功的交流，这可能导致参与者之间的长期互动。发育和生殖领域是全球科学家普遍关注的问题，在这一领域分享知识和技术至关重要。全球科学界肯定会从这种互动中受益。

This Americas Program award will support a laboratory-workshop course to familiarize young scientists with modern approaches for exploring structural events at the cell and molecular level. Using advanced imaging technologies on marine and mammalian gametes and embryos, dynamic events in the cell cycle and during development will be observed. The application of imaging equipment in the broad field of cell and developmental biology and the biological insights derived from such technology will continue to lead to important discoveries. This workshop, organized by Dr. Gerald Schatten of the University of Wisconsin, Madison and Dr. Claudio Barros, of the Catholic University, Chile, will take place in the Marine Laboratory of the Catholic University of the North, Coquimbo, Chile. The participants, young scientists on a postdoctoral level, will come from countries in South and Central America and from other countries. The program should result in a very successful exchange of scientific/technological information which could lead to long term interactions between the participants. The areas of development and reproduction are of general concern to scientists around the globe and sharing knowledge and technique in this area is essential. The global scientific community will most certainly benefit from this interaction.
