FASEB Summer Research Conference on Retinoids to be held June 25-30, 2000, at the Copper Mountain Conference Center in Colorado.

第十届两年一次的FASEB类维生素a夏季研究会议将于2000年6月25日至30日在科罗拉多州的铜山会议中心举行。类维甲酸（维生素A及其代谢物和类似物）的研究有望为多种基本细胞过程的机制提供基本见解，包括细胞凋亡、脊椎动物发育和转录调节。FASEB会议为研究类维生素a的快速增长和多样化的国际科学家群体提供了“基地”。本次会议的跨学科、主题多样的项目旨在突出重大发展，激发新思想，促进深入的学院互动，加强现有的合作，并点燃新的合作。通过其长度和结构，会议为更多的初级研究人员提供了与国内外资深科学家互动的充分机会。鼓励所有与会者（包括演讲者）提交海报。优秀的青年研究员海报将由一个委员会选出；这些研究人员将被邀请在会议上介绍他们的研究。会议将以皮埃尔·尚本教授的全体演讲开始。将有九场会议，由49名受邀演讲者/参与者和约10名海报口头演讲者组成。每届会议主席将提供一个简短的概述。将鼓励发言者介绍他们最近未发表的工作——事实上，选择发言者的一个标准是在会议期间有可能取得重大未发表的进展。从出席人数和与会者的反馈来看，以前的会议都非常成功。因此，这个系列有很好的记录，可以作为2000年会议的基础。这一系列参加人数众多的研究会议是唯一一个涉及类视黄醇生物学全谱的国家和主要国际论坛。这笔奖金将用于支付初级调查人员的会议费用。

Napoli, Joseph L.The tenth biannual FASEB Summer Research Conference on Retinoids will be held June 25-30,2000, at the Copper Mountain Conference Center in Colorado. The study of retinoids (vitamin A and its metabolites and analogs) promises to provide fundamental insights into the mechanisms of diverse basic cellular processes, including apoptosis, vertebrate development, and transcriptional regulation. This FASEB conference provides the "home base" for a rapidly growing and diversifying international community of scientists who work with retinoids. The interdisciplinary, topically diverse program of this meeting is planned to highlight major developments, foment new ideas, facilitate in-depth collegial interactions, reinforce existing collaborations, and kindle new ones. Through its length and structure, the conference provides ample opportunities for more junior investigators to interact with senior scientists from this country and abroad. All attendees, including speakers, are encouraged to present a poster. Outstanding posters by junior investigators will be selected by a committee; these investigators will be invited to present their research in talks to the conference. The conference will begin with a plenary lecture by Professor Pierre Chambon. There will be nine sessions consisting of 49 invited speakers/participants and approximately 10 oral presenters of posters. Each session chairperson will provide a brief overview. Speakers will be encouraged to present their most recent unpublished work-indeed, one criterion in the selection of speakers was the likelihood of significant unpublished advances at the time of the meeting. Previous conferences have been very successful, judging by the turnout and feedback of the attendees. Thus, this series has an excellent record on which to base theYear 2000 conference.This series of well-attended research meetings has been the sole national and the major international forum that address the full spectrum of retinoid biology. This award will be used to defray the meeting expenses of junior investigators.
