Conference: 12th International Conference on Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas to be held in Portland, Oregon, on May 9-14, 2006

第12届衣藻细胞和分子生物学国际会议将于2006年5月9日至14日在俄勒冈州波特兰举行。自1983年成立以来，这个现在每两年举行一次的会议聚集了来自世界各地(北美、亚洲、欧洲和澳大利亚)的不同领域和学科(细胞生物学、遗传学、生物化学、生物物理学、植物生理学和基因组学)的研究人员，讨论各种专注于这种生物的新研究项目、技术和想法。衣藻一直是研究细胞和分子生物学中各种主题的热门生物。例如，关于真核生物鞭毛和基体的大部分知识来自对衣藻野生型和叶状突变体的研究，关于光合作用和核/叶绿体遗传相互作用的许多已知内容也是如此。该奖项的资金将用于帮助来自美国科学界的学生、博士后研究员和初级教师参加会议。

The 12th International Conference on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas, will be held in Portland, Oregon, on May 9-14, 2006. Since its inception in 1983 this now biennial conference has brought together investigators from different fields and disciplines (cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, plant physiology,and genomics) from around the world (North America, Asia, Europe and Australia) to discuss a variety of new research projects, techniques, and ideas focused on this organism. Chlamydomonas has been a favorite organism for studying a variety of topics in cell and molecular biology. Much of what is known about the eukaryotic flagellum and basal bodies, for example, comes from studies of wild-type and aflagellate mutants of Chlamydomonas, as does much of what is known about photosynthesis and nuclear/chloroplast genetic interactions. The funding from this award will be used to help students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty from the U.S. scientific community attend the meeting.
