1123512LevineThis Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place during April 16-25, 2012 at the Universidad de la República and the Institut Pasteur in Montevideo, Uruguay. Organized by Dr. Michael S. Levine and Dr. Ida Chow from the Society for Developmental Biology (SDB) in Bethesda, Maryland, the institute will focus on a systems biology approach to understand the mechanisms of organismal evolution. This PASI is part of a collaborative program between the SDB and the Latin American Society for Developmental Biology (LASDB) to train junior scientists on integrating bioinformatics and systems biology approaches with traditional experimentation to further our understanding of evolutionary processes. The increased sophistication of computational methods, whole-genome analysis, and high-resolution imaging technologies provide concrete opportunities for cross-disciplinary approaches to elucidate the mechanisms of Darwinian evolution. Using these cutting edge tools and innovative approaches on different model and indigenous organisms, this PASI will contribute to the training of future scientists in the Americas. Participants with different backgrounds?from computer and mathematical sciences to biology and chemistry?who are interested in evolutionary biology will be considered and the most qualified will be selected, with care to maintain diversity on training, research themes and background within the student population. Participants will stay on (April 26-29) to attend the 6th International Meeting of the LASDB, where they will be able to present their own work to a larger international audience.

1123512由NSF和能源部（DOE）共同支持的1123512泛美高级研究机构（PASI）奖将在2012年4月16日至25日在乌鲁格乌鲁格岛Montevideo的2012年4月16日至25日在2012年4月16日至25日举行。该研究所由马里兰州贝塞斯达（Bethesda）的发育生物学学会（SDB）的迈克尔·S·莱文（Michael S.该PASI是SDB与拉丁美洲发展生物学学会（LASDB）之间合作计划的一部分，旨在培训初级科学家，以将生物信息学和系统生物学方法与传统实验相结合，以进一步了解我们对进化过程的理解。增加的复杂方法，全基因组分析和高分辨率成像技术为跨学科方法提供了具体的机会，以阐明达尔文进化的机制。使用这些尖端工具和不同模型和土著组织的创新方法，该PASI将有助于对美洲未来的科学家进行培训。背景不同的参与者从计算机和数学科学到生物学和化学？将考虑谁对进化生物学感兴趣，并且将选择最合格的生物学，以维持学生人数中的培训，研究主题和背景的多样性。参与者将继续（4月26日至29日）参加LASDB的第六次国际会议，在那里他们将能够向更大的国际观众展示自己的作品。
