This award supports student participation in the "Second International Symposium on Computational Cell Biology" to be held March 23-25, 2003 at the Cranwell Resort and Golf Club in Lenox, MA. Computational Cell Biology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that responds to the need for computational methods to analyze and organize complex experimental data on the structure and function of the cell. Whereas other meetings in computational biology focus on bioinformatics and structural biology, this is the only meeting geared specifically to the use of computational modeling applications in cell biology and that is primarily targeted to cell biologists. The symposium is being organized by The National Resource for Cell Analysis and Modeling (NRCAM), located in the Center for Biomedical Imaging Technology (CBIT) at the University of Connecticut Health Center. The organizing committee consists of Drs. Leslie M. Loew, Director of NRCAM and CBIT, John Carson, co-Director of NRCAM, and Ann Cowan, Deputy Director of CBIT and head of dissemination and training for NRCAM, who chairs the committee. The first such symposium, held in March 2001, provided a venue for cell biologists to interact with theoreticians and computer scientists, and was highly successful both in its scientific content and in its goal of initiating a new level of communication among different groups of scientists. A major goal of this second meeting is to solidify the community of scientists in this young and expanding field. The scientific focus of the meeting is on areas of cell biology for which modeling approaches are currently being developed, or that are ripe for computational modeling approaches. Specific topics at the meetings will include a range of cellular mechanisms such as regulation of the cytoskeleton and molecular motors, membrane and protein trafficking, regulation of calcium dynamics, signal transduction pathways, and cell cycle control. In each of these areas, researcher using highly quantitative experimental approaches and/or applying mathematical modeling approaches will be invited to speak. The meeting format includes platform sessions, poster sessions and small workshops and tutorials. The venue for the meeting is a small resort in the Berkshire Mountains that is limited to a maximum of 125 on-site participants. This setting and meeting size is ideal for encouraging individual interactions, and also encourages active participation by graduate and postdoctoral students.

该奖项支持学生参加将于2003年3月23日至25日在马萨诸塞州莱诺克斯的克兰韦尔度假村和高尔夫俱乐部举行的“第二届计算细胞生物学国际研讨会”。计算细胞生物学是一个新兴的跨学科领域，它响应了对计算方法的需求，以分析和组织有关细胞结构和功能的复杂实验数据。而在计算生物学的其他会议侧重于生物信息学和结构生物学，这是唯一的会议专门面向使用计算建模应用程序在细胞生物学，这是主要针对细胞生物学家。该研讨会由位于康涅狄格大学健康中心生物医学成像技术中心（CBIT）的国家细胞分析和建模资源（NRCAM）组织。组委会由莱斯利·M博士组成。NRCAM和CBIT主任Loew，NRCAM联合主任John卡森，CBIT副主任兼NRCAM传播和培训负责人Ann科万，他担任委员会主席。2001年3月举行的第一次这样的研讨会为细胞生物学家与理论家和计算机科学家提供了一个交流的场所，在其科学内容和启动不同科学家群体之间新水平的沟通目标方面都非常成功。第二次会议的一个主要目标是巩固这个年轻和不断扩大的领域的科学家社区。会议的科学重点是细胞生物学领域，目前正在开发建模方法，或计算建模方法已经成熟。会议的具体主题将包括一系列细胞机制，如细胞骨架和分子马达的调节，膜和蛋白质运输，钙动力学的调节，信号转导途径和细胞周期控制。在每个领域，使用高度定量实验方法和/或应用数学建模方法的研究人员将被邀请发言。会议形式包括平台会议、海报会议以及小型研讨会和教程。会议地点是伯克希尔山区的一个小度假胜地，现场与会者最多可达125人。这种设置和会议规模是鼓励个人互动的理想选择，也鼓励研究生和博士后学生积极参与。
