2010 Gordon Research Conference on Mitochondria & Chloroplasts to be held July 11-16, 2010 in Lucca, Italy

2010年戈登线粒体和叶绿体会议将为研究植物、动物和真菌系统的科学家提供一个独特的论坛，以确定这些细胞器与生物体生长、发育、活力、光合作用、生育、适应和衰老相关的共同机制和共同特性。它将召集专门研究生理学、遗传学、生物化学、蛋白质组学和结构生物学的研究人员，从而促进跨学科的观点，分享技术专长，并建立新的合作努力。出席人数将限制在200人以内，以保持一个有利于讨论和互动的亲密环境。线粒体和叶绿体GRC主办了一个由来自15个或更多国家的代表组成的国际社区。该小组还包括各级研究生，博士后和独立研究人员的强大组合。会议的教育使命将通过附带的戈登研究研讨会得到加强，该研讨会为研究生和博士后提供了一个特别的论坛，在主要会议之前展示和讨论他们的研究。我们将进一步鼓励博士研究生、博士后和本科院校的教师参加，并在主会议中为这些类别的与会者预留名额。

The 2010 Gordon Conference on Mitochondria & Chloroplasts will provide a unique forum for scientists working on plant, animal, and fungal systems to identify common mechanisms and shared properties of these organelles relevant to organismal growth, development, vigor, photosynthesis, fertility, adaptation and senescence/ageing. It will convene investigators who specialize in physiology, genetics, biochemistry, proteomics, and structural biology, thereby fostering a cross-disciplinary perspective, the sharing of technological expertise, and the establishment of new collaborative efforts. Attendance will be limited to 200 participants in order to maintain an intimate environment that is conducive to discussion and interaction. The GRC on Mitochondria & Chloroplasts hosts an international community comprising representatives from 15 or more countries. The group also comprises a strong mix of graduate student, postdoctoral and independent investigators at all levels. The educational mission of the conference will be enhanced by the accompanying Gordon Research Seminar, which provides a special forum for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to present and discuss their research prior to the main conference. Participation of Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from undergraduate institutions will be further encouraged by reserving slots in the main conference for attendees in these categories.
