Conference: The 9th International Marine Biotechnology Conference, October 8th - 12th, 2010

会议：第九届国际海洋生物技术会议，2010年10月8日- 12日该奖项将支持美国博士后科学家和学生参加2010年10月在中国青岛举行的国际海洋生物技术会议。这次会议将汇集对分子方法了解、保护和加强全球海洋资源感兴趣的国际科学家团体。会议的主题包括海洋微生物在生物地球化学循环中的作用；海洋生物能源;极端微生物;海洋生物技术的“组学”学科；生物固碳；生物矿化与纳米生物技术；海洋宏基因组。这些都是重要的研究领域，与地球气候变化和生物能源有关的新观察和想法正在涌现。更广泛的影响：参加这次会议将使美国学生和博士后科学家（包括妇女和科学界代表性不足的少数民族成员）接触到海洋生物技术领域的新兴科学。它将允许他们与国际领先的科学家展示和讨论他们自己的成果，并为他们提供发展新的合作的机会。该奖项由细胞系统、生物分子系统和生物海洋学共同资助。

Conference: The 9th International Marine Biotechnology Conference, October 8th - 12th 2010 This award will support the attendance of US postdoctoral scientists and students at the International Marine Biotechnology Conference to be held in October 2010 in Qingdao, China. This conference will bring together an international community of scientists interested in molecular approaches to understanding, protecting and enhancing global marine resources. Topics included at the conference include the role of marine microbes in biogeochemical cycles; marine bioenergy; extremophiles; the "-omic" disciplines in marine biotechnology; biotic carbon sequestration; biomineralization and nanobiotechnology; marine metagenomics. These are important areas of research from which novel observations and ideas relevant to changes in the earth's climate and to bioenergy are emerging.Broader impacts: Participation in this conference will expose US students and postdoctoral scientists (including women and members of minorities underrepresented in science) to emerging science in the area of marine biotechnology. It will permit them to present and discuss their own results with leading international scientists and provide them opportunities to develop new collaborations.This award is co-funded by Cellular Systems, Biomolecular Systems, and Biological Oceanography.
