The First International Workshop on Nitrogen Regulation in Ascomycetes; Cuernavaca, Mexico, May 5-9, 1997

这笔美墨奖金将用于支持在墨西哥圣何塞维斯塔赫尔莫萨举行的子囊菌氮代谢研究研讨会。组织者是麻省理工学院的Boris Magasanik教授和墨西哥国立自治大学细胞生理学研究所的Alicia Gonzalez教授。研讨会的目的是将来自美国、欧洲、澳大利亚和墨西哥的科学家聚集在一起，讨论生长培养基中氮丰度或缺乏信息导致参与氮代谢的基因表达的各种机制。会议将由每位受邀参加者进行一小时的演讲，然后是讨论主题的圆桌讨论，重点是所研究的不同生物的特定环境，它们的进化，以及结果对高等植物和动物的意义。所有与会者以及所有感兴趣的科学家都可以获得会谈的摘要。* * *

9722449 Magasanik This U.S.-Mexico award will support a research workshop on nitrogen metabolism in Ascomycetes, to be held in San Jose Vistahermosa, Mexico. Organizers are Prof. Boris Magasanik of MIT and Prof. Alicia Gonzalez, from the Cellular Physiology Institute of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scientists from the United States, Europe, Australia, and Mexico to discuss the diverse mechanisms whereby information on nitrogen abundance or lack thereof in the growth medium, leads to the expression of genes involved in nitrogen metabolism. The meeting will consist of one hour talks by each of the invited participants followed by round table discussions of the topics under discussion, with emphasis on the particular environments of the different organisms under study, their evolution, and significance of results for higher plants and animals. Abstracts of talks will be made available to all participants as well as to all interested scientists. * * *
