Third International Marine Biotechnology Conference to be held August 8-12, 1994, at University of Tromso, Tromso, Norway

9408254哈尔沃森这笔拨款将用于支持美国科学家参加于1994年8月8日至12日在挪威特罗姆瑟大学校园举行的为期五天的国际海洋生物技术会议。国际海洋生物技术会议的具体目标是：(a)介绍海洋科学的最新发现和应用，重点是生物技术；(b)用海洋科学的进步教育工业科学家；(c)汇集来自世界各地的同事，以便对科学进行评估和批评；(d)通过科学讨论和非正式聚会建立联系，为合资企业和研究伙伴关系提供机会；(e)编印一册扩展摘要，使在这次会议上所介绍的科学可作为参考书。(f)提供能够产生创造性新想法和应用的材料。这笔拨款将用于支持美国科学家参加于1994年8月8日至12日在挪威特罗姆瑟大学校园举行的为期五天的国际海洋生物技术会议。为会议选择的主题反映了科学家们对探索生活在海洋世界非常多样化和往往极端栖息地的生物之间生物相互作用的本质的极大兴趣。关于水生生物的生物机制和分子相互作用的基础研究已经提供了有关基本生物学原理的宝贵信息。对海洋生物的过程和产品的研究已经在社会的许多部门，包括医药、海洋食品和化学品的生产以及矿物资源的封存，开辟了新的、有时是非常意想不到的应用。目前的一个主要重点是控制水产养殖和水生生态系统中的微生物疾病。因此，新兴的海洋生物技术科学正被应用于海洋生物资源的管理以及海洋环境的监测和修复。本次会议的基本理念是促进海洋生物技术各部门的迅速发展，造福人类，与自然和谐相处。＊＊＊

9408254 Halvorson This grant will provide support for U.S. scientists to attend a five-day International Marine Biotechnology Conference to be held August 8-12, 1994 on the campus of the University of Tromso, in Tromso, Norway. The specific objectives of the International Marine Biotechnology Conference are: (a) to present the latest discoveries and applications of marine science with emphasis on biotechnology; (b) to educate industrial scientists with the advances made in marine science; (c) to bring together colleagues from all over the world so that the science can be evaluated and criticized; (d) to present opportunities for joint ventures and research partnerships by making contacts through scientific discussions and informal gatherings; (e) to put together a volume of extended abstracts so that the science presented at this conference will be available as a reference book. (f) to provide material that will lead to creative new ideas and applications. %%% This grant will provide support for U.S. scientists to attend a five-day International Marine Biotechnology Conference to be held August 8-12, 1994 on the campus of the University of Tromso, in Tromso, Norway. The topics chosen for the conference reflect the great interest among scientists in exploring the nature of biological interactions between organisms living in the very diverse and often extreme habitats of the marine world. Basic research on biological mechanisms and molecular interactions related to a life in aquatic systems has yielded valuable information about fundamental biological principles. Studies on the processes and products of marine organisms have already opened new and sometimes very unexpected applications within many sectors of society, including medicine, production of marine food and chemicals and sequestration of mineral resources. Presently a major focus is on the control of microbial diseases in aquaculture and in aquatic ecosystems. The emerging science of marine bio technology is thus being applied in the management of marine biological resources and in monitoring and remediating the marine environment. The underlying philosophy of this conference to promote rapid advances in the various sectors of marine biotechnology for the benefit of mankind and in harmony with nature. ***
