A Gordon Research Conference on meiosis will be held June 8-13, 2008, at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. Meiosis is the specialized cell division that gives rise to reproductive cells such as sperm and eggs. The long-term goal of the conference is to further the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of meiotic chromosome segregation and cell division. The emphasis is on chromosome dynamics, but with substantial coverage of cytoskeletal and nuclear structure, gene regulation, gametogenesis, and evolutionary aspects. The specific aims of the meeting are to provide a forum for scientific interaction in this interdisciplinary field, to present the newest results in the field, to introduce young researchers to the field and foster their interactions with established investigators, and to promote interdisciplinary discussion that will foster new approaches, concepts, and ideas. This meeting provides a venue for discussions that will advance the understanding of this fundamental aspect of reproductive biology and will frame the experimental questions necessary to drive future research. The Meiosis Gordon Conference is a venue that allows promising researchers from the U.S. at early stages in their careers, including graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, to gain exposure to international leaders in the field. The meeting has always been successful in attracting female participants and has been attended by scientists from throughout the US and the world. Outreach to minority scientists will be through contacts with scientists in the field and through international advertising.

戈登减数分裂研究会议将于2008年6月8日至13日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比索耶学院举行。减数分裂是一种特殊的细胞分裂，产生生殖细胞，如精子和卵子。会议的长期目标是进一步了解减数分裂染色体分离和细胞分裂的基本机制。重点是染色体动力学，但与细胞骨架和核结构，基因调控，配子发生和进化方面的实质性覆盖。会议的具体目标是为这一跨学科领域的科学互动提供一个论坛，介绍该领域的最新成果，向年轻研究人员介绍该领域并促进他们与现有研究人员的互动，并促进跨学科讨论，以促进新的方法，概念和想法。本次会议提供了一个讨论场所，将促进对生殖生物学这一基本方面的理解，并将制定推动未来研究所需的实验问题。 减数分裂戈登会议是一个场所，允许来自美国的有前途的研究人员在他们的职业生涯的早期阶段，包括研究生和博士后研究员，以获得接触该领域的国际领导者。该会议一直成功地吸引了女性参与者，并有来自美国和世界各地的科学家参加。将通过与该领域的科学家接触和国际广告，与少数群体科学家进行外联。
