Intellectual Merit The 30th Penn State Summer Symposium in Molecular Biology will be held June 21-24, 2011 at University Park, PA. The topic of this symposium is "Chromatin and Epigenetic Regulation of Transcription". The symposium will cover chromatin organization and the mechanistic basis for genetic and epigenetic regulation of transcription. The session topics are as follows: Genomics, Nuclear Organization, Chromatin Mechanisms, Epigenetics, and Elongation Control. The roster of 22 invited speakers is composed of internationally acclaimed scientists who lead research in the field of chromatin structure and epigenetics. The unique intellectual strength of the Penn State Summer symposium is that it is combines the top scientific level of the meeting with location at a big University campus that makes it readily accessible to a wide body of graduate, undergraduate, and high school students undergoing summer training at the Penn State Hershey and University Park campuses. A group of faculty at Pennsylvania State University have assembled a list of 22 invited speakers with an additional 30 oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts. Broader Impacts The summer symposium will provide a vehicle for exchange of information between scientists at Penn State and other institutions. It is financially accessible to undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, who comprise about 75% of attendees. Many of these students are members of underrepresented groups or represent rural areas in central Pennsylvania. The plenary lecture is open to the general public.

第30届宾夕法尼亚州立大学夏季分子生物学研讨会将于2011年6月21日至24日在宾夕法尼亚州大学公园举行。本次研讨会的主题是“染色质和转录的表观遗传调节”。研讨会将涵盖染色质组织和转录的遗传和表观遗传调控的机制基础。会议主题如下：基因组学，核组织，染色质机制，表观遗传学和伸长控制。22位受邀演讲者的名单由国际知名的科学家组成，他们领导染色质结构和表观遗传学领域的研究。宾夕法尼亚州立大学夏季研讨会独特的智力力量是，它结合了会议的最高科学水平和在一个大的大学校园的位置，使其容易接近广泛的研究生，本科生和高中学生在宾夕法尼亚州立大学好时和大学公园校园进行暑期培训。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的一组教师已经收集了一份22位受邀演讲者的名单，并从提交的摘要中选出了另外30位口头演讲者。更广泛的影响夏季研讨会将为宾夕法尼亚州立大学和其他机构的科学家之间的信息交流提供一个工具。本科生、研究生和博士后研究员在经济上可以接受，他们占与会者的75%左右。这些学生中的许多人是代表性不足的群体的成员或代表宾夕法尼亚州中部的农村地区。全体讲座对公众开放。
