9603340 Dores This award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on the Molecular Ancestry of Vertebrate Polypeptide Hormones and Neuropeptides, to be held in Tokyo, Japan from November 23-24, 1997. The co- organizers are Professors Robert M. Dores of the University of Denver and Hiroshi Kawauchi of Kitasato University in Japan. This seminar will bring together morphological, biochemical and molecular comparative fish endocrinologists to examine the origins of endocrine mechanisms in a variety of fish. Presentations will focus on two major endocrine systems: the hypothalamus/pituitary axis, and the endocrine pancreas. There are several comparative molecular endocrine laboratories active in the United States and Japan. This seminar will bring together experts from those laboratories at a time when new molecular techniques and large protein and gene data sets offer potential for significant research advances. Coordination with and engagement of the Japanese researchers will enable U.S. scientists to advance their own efforts to better understand the endocrine system. Information from the seminar will be disseminated through review articles to be published in the journal, General and Comparative Endocrinology. ***

小行星9603340 该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国-日本脊椎动物多肽激素和神经肽分子生物学研讨会，拟于1997年11月23日至24日在日本东京举行。 共同组织者是罗伯特M.丹佛大学的多尔斯和日本北里大学的川内博。 本次研讨会将汇集形态学，生物化学和分子比较鱼类内分泌学家，研究各种鱼类内分泌机制的起源。 演讲将集中在两个主要的内分泌系统：下丘脑/垂体轴，和胰腺内分泌。 在美国和日本有几个活跃的比较分子内分泌实验室。 在新的分子技术和大量蛋白质和基因数据集为重大研究进展提供潜力之际，这次研讨会将使这些实验室的专家聚集一堂。 与日本研究人员的协调和参与将使美国科学家能够推进他们自己的努力，以更好地了解内分泌系统。 研讨会的信息将通过将在《普通和比较内分泌学》杂志上发表的评论文章传播。 ***
