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

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结合。过去十年的激动人心的进步有赖于将与各种有机体(包括酵母、蠕虫、苍蝇和脊椎动物)合作的人们聚集在一起，了解这些差异很小的有机体之间的共同分子和原理。尽管该领域令人兴奋，但组织的会议相对较少，以强调以前被视为独特的发展事件之间日益明显的关系。我们的具体目标是召集一群在现代分子分析发展方面具有广泛专业知识的科学家，就最新研究进行一系列演讲，并有大约120名与会者介绍他们的研究。会议将于2000年7月21日至26日在加州大学圣克鲁斯分校校园举行。会议有两个主要目标。第一个是互相传授。计划中的计划将是一门高级发育生物学的极好课程，并帮助那些与每个特定生物合作的人跟上其他生物研究的令人兴奋的新发展。这不仅对现有的研究人员很重要，而且对将参加会议的许多学生和博士后研究员也很重要。

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.
