Symposium: 2000 Santa Cruz Conference on Developmental Biology; July 21-26, 2000, Santa Cruz, California

[00:78912]巴格曼发育生物学需要细胞生物学、遗传学、分子生物学和生物化学的整合。过去十年中令人兴奋的进展依赖于将研究各种生物的人们聚集在一起，包括酵母、蠕虫、苍蝇和脊椎动物，以了解这些看似多样化的生物中共同的分子和原理。尽管这一领域令人兴奋，但组织起来强调发展事件之间日益明显的关系的会议相对较少，这些关系以前被认为是不同的。我们的具体目标是召集一群在现代分子发育分析方面具有广泛专业知识的科学家，就最新研究进行一系列会谈，并让大约120名其他与会者展示他们的研究海报。会议将于2000年7月21日至7月26日在加州大学圣克鲁兹分校举行。这次会议有两个主要目标。首先是互相教导。计划中的课程将是高级发育生物学的一门极好的课程，并帮助那些研究每种特定生物的人与其他生物研究中令人兴奋的新发展保持同步。这不仅对现有的研究人员很重要，而且对参加会议的许多学生和博士后也很重要。

0078912BargmannDevelopmental biology demands the integration of cell biology,genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. The exciting progress ofthe past decade has depended upon bringing together people who work with avariety of organisms, including yeast, worms, flies, and vertebrates tolearn about the molecules and principles held in common among theseseemingly diverse organisms. Despite all the excitement in the field,there are relatively few meetings organized to emphasize the increasinglyobvious relationships among developmental events previously viewed asdistinct.Our specific objectives are to assemble a group of scientists with broad expertise in modern molecular analysis of development, have a series of talks on up to date research, and have about 120 other attendees presentposters describing their research. The meeting will be held on the campusof the University of California, Santa Cruz on July 21st to July 26th,2000.There are two major goals of the meeting. The first is to teacheach other. The planned program will be a superb course in advanceddevelopmental biology, and help those working with each particular organismto keep abreast of exciting new developments in the study of otherorganisms. This will important not just for established investigators, butalso for the many students and postdoctoral fellows who will attend themeeting.
