PI David Woodland, Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular BiologyTitle: Conference: Keystone Symposium on "Precision Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology" to be held in Breckenridge, CO from March 17-22, 2013The Keystone Symposia conference on Precision Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology: Designing Genomes and Pathways will bring together scientists who: 1) develop tools for precision genome engineering; 2) use those tools for specific purposes in a wide range of organisms, including humans; 3) create whole synthetic genomes with prospects for wholesale reengineering; and 4) engineering cells with novel pathways and properties. Exchange of cutting-edge information regarding approaches, accomplishments and ambitions will augment the capabilities of each group. The meeting will provide an outstanding forum for students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior investigators who envision careers in genome and pathway design.The specific objectives of this meeting are as follows: 1. To collect leaders in genome engineering and synthetic biology and make them aware of current technologies and opportunities. 2. To stimulate ongoing interactions and collaborations between these disciplines. 3. To encourage the development of new approaches that will accelerate progress in the target areas. 4. To enlist trainees into these emerging fields, so they will drive future uses and developments. Intellectual merit: Both precision genome engineering and synthetic biology are relatively new fields of research that are developing rapidly, but largely independently of each other. This meeting is designed to bring together the goals, approaches, technologies and leaders in these areas to encourage cross-fertilization and collaboration. Keystone Symposia provides an internationally recognized platform as well as resources to ensure the success of this meeting, and the organizers are well-recognized leaders in the fields of genome engineering and synthetic biology. Broader Impacts: This meeting aims to encourage extension of pathway engineering into a broader range of organisms through genome editing and to stimulate the development of expanded tools of genome manipulation for multi-gene modifications. Moreover, this meeting will enhance infrastructure by fostering networking and initiation of collaborations. The following educational benefits are anticipated: acquaint trainees and investigators new to the field with the state-of-the-art; critical scientific feedback; and career development for trainees and new investigators, including opportunities both to see successful scientists presenting cutting-edge science and to network with prospective mentors and others who might contribute to their scientific and professional development.

PI大卫·伍德兰（David Woodland），分子和细胞生物学基石研讨会标题：会议：关于“精确基因组工程和合成生物学”的基石研讨会将于2013年3月17日至22日在科罗拉多州布雷肯里奇举行关于精确基因组工程和合成生物学的基石研讨会会议：设计基因组和途径将汇集以下科学家：1）开发精确基因组工程工具; 2）在包括人类在内的各种生物体中将这些工具用于特定目的; 3）创建具有大规模再造前景的完整合成基因组; 4）用新的途径和特性改造细胞。交流有关方法、成就和抱负的最新信息将增强每个小组的能力。本次会议将提供一个优秀的论坛，为学生，博士后研究员和高级研究人员谁设想的基因组和途径设计的职业生涯。收集基因组工程和合成生物学的领导者，使他们了解当前的技术和机会。2.促进这些学科之间的持续互动和合作。3.鼓励制定新的办法，加快目标领域的进展。4.招募学员进入这些新兴领域，使他们能够推动未来的使用和发展。智力优点：精确基因组工程和合成生物学都是相对较新的研究领域，发展迅速，但在很大程度上相互独立。本次会议旨在汇集这些领域的目标、方法、技术和领导人，以鼓励相互交流和合作。Keystone Symposia提供了一个国际公认的平台和资源，以确保本次会议的成功，组织者是基因组工程和合成生物学领域公认的领导者。更广泛的影响：本次会议旨在鼓励通过基因组编辑将途径工程扩展到更广泛的生物体，并刺激开发用于多基因修饰的基因组操作扩展工具。此外，这次会议将通过促进联网和启动合作来加强基础设施。预计将产生以下教育效益：使新进入该领域的受训人员和调查人员熟悉最新技术;重要的科学反馈;受训人员和新调查人员的职业发展，包括有机会看到成功的科学家介绍尖端科学，并与未来的导师和其他可能有助于他们科学和专业发展的人建立联系。
