Symposium: Society for Developmental Biology 60th Annual Meeting; Seattle, WA; July 18-22, 2001

2001年7月18-22日在西雅图的华盛顿大学举行的第60届发育生物学学会年会，请求霍根基金会提供部分支持。该学会自1939年成立以来一直举办这次会议，在第二次世界大战期间只缺席了两年，这表明它致力于并成功地举办了最高科学质量的会议，也反映了社会对发育生物学领域的兴趣。在所有的科学会议中，将介绍关于不同生物的工作，包括植物、无脊椎动物和脊椎动物。69位演讲者被邀请向我们介绍他们在以下领域的一些最新发现：配子形成和功能，器官构建，神经系统的模式，形式的多样性，颜色模式，复杂系统的分析，细胞相互作用和信号通路(2届)，细胞运动和引导，增殖和细胞生长的调控，细胞命运决定，分化状态的可塑性，以及发育生物学和医学。从提交的平台报告摘要中选择了另外30名发言者，允许纳入最新结果，并为博士后研究员和研究生提供了谈论他们作品的机会。将举办关于干细胞、左右不对称、发育生物学和疾病载体以及成像和细胞标记的特别兴趣工作坊。教育研讨会将围绕最新的道德话题，并将包括一个有观众参与的讨论时段。将邀请当地教师和高中生参加这次会议。我们预计将有大约700人参加，其中大多数人将在午餐后和晚上的两个专门的海报会议上展示他们的新数据。我们确信，这种形式使我们能够继续强调最好的科学，并提供一个论坛，将初级和高级研究人员聚集在一起，并使他们能够就科学、教育和科学在当今社会中的作用交流意见。学生和初级博士后研究员以及参加会议的拉丁美洲教职员工和学生将获得基于功绩的旅行奖励。

0110334HoganFunds are requested for partial support of the 60th Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology, to be held July 18-22, 2001 at the University of Washington in Seattle. The Society has held this meeting since its founding in 1939, missing only two years during World War II. This is an indication of its commitment and succeeding in holding meetings of the highest scientific quality, as well as a reflection of the community's interest on the field of developmental biology. In all the scientific sessions work on diverse organisms including plants, invertebrates and vertebrates will be presented. Sixty-nine speakers have been invited to tell us about some of their latest findings in the following areas: Gamete Formation and Function, Organ Building, Patterning of the Nervous System, Diversity of Form, Color Patterns, Analysis of Complex Systems, Cell Interactions and Signaling Pathways (2 session), Cell Motility and Guidance, Regulation of Proliferation and Cell Growth, Cell Fate Determination, Plasticity of the Differentiated State, and Developmental Biology and Medicine. An additional thirty speakers have been chosen from submitted abstracts for platform presentations, allowing the inclusion of the latest results and providing an opportunity for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to talk about their works. Special interest workshops on Stem Cells, Left-Right Asymmetry, Developmental Biology and Disease Vectors, and Imaging and Cell Marking will be held. The Education Symposium will center on the very current topic of Ethics and it will include a discussion period with audience participation. Local teachers and high school students will be invited to attend this session. We expect an attendance of about 700 people, and most of them will present their new data in the two dedicated poster sessions, one after lunch and the other in the evening. We are certain that this format allows us to continue to emphasize the best science and to provide a forum to bring together junior and senior investigators, and to allow them to exchange ideas on science, education and the role of science in today's society. Merit-based travel awards will be available to students and junior postdoctoral fellows, as well as Latin American faculty and students to attend the meeting.
