Intellectual Merit The meeting for the Ciliate Molecular Biology Conference will be held as a FASEB Summer Research Conference, July 10-15, 2011 at the Orthodox Academy of Crete, Greece. This is a major meeting of experimental biologists working with ciliated protozoa. The objectives of this meeting are to (i) disseminate new research information and ideas, (ii) share technical innovations, (iii) organize further development of community resources, and (iv) advance graduate and undergraduate research and education initiatives. Approximately 120-150 investigators from the US and other countries will come together to discuss recent scientific discoveries and technological advances, and coordinate community efforts to develop new approaches to address diverse biological questions of broad scientific interest. The primary goal of the conference is to facilitate the open exchange of unpublished research results and technological advances between investigators who are united by their use of ciliates as model organisms.Broader ImpactsThis biannual meeting represents the most important gathering of cellular, molecular and evolution biologists working with ciliated protozoa, and plays a critical role in sustaining the vitality of this productive research community. The ciliate community promotes the participation of young scientists, women and minorities in conference programs. A longstanding goal of the conference is to promote the participation of young researchers and under-represented minorities in science (including women). A large fraction of plenary talks will be given by women, new investigators, postdocs and students. The meeting provides an excellent opportunity for junior researchers to network, share their findings, and build new collaborations.

学术成就纤毛虫分子生物学会议将于2011年7月10日至15日在希腊克里特岛东正教学院举行，作为FASEB夏季研究会议。这是一个研究纤毛虫的实验生物学家的重要会议。本次会议的目标是（i）传播新的研究信息和想法，（ii）分享技术创新，（iii）组织社区资源的进一步开发，以及（iv）推进研究生和本科生的研究和教育活动。来自美国和其他国家的大约120-150名研究人员将聚集在一起讨论最近的科学发现和技术进步，并协调社区努力开发新方法来解决具有广泛科学兴趣的各种生物学问题。会议的主要目标是促进未发表的研究成果和技术进步的开放交流，研究人员通过使用纤毛虫作为模式生物而团结在一起。更广泛的影响这个一年两次的会议代表了与纤毛虫原生动物合作的细胞，分子和进化生物学家的最重要的聚会，并在维持这个富有成效的研究社区的活力方面发挥着关键作用。 纤毛虫社区促进青年科学家，妇女和少数民族参与会议计划。会议的一个长期目标是促进年轻研究人员和代表性不足的少数群体（包括妇女）参与科学。全体会议的很大一部分将由妇女、新的研究人员、博士后和学生进行。这次会议为初级研究人员提供了一个很好的机会，可以建立网络，分享他们的发现，并建立新的合作。
