Conference: Cell Decision Making Workshop, Arlington VA, June 10-11, 2013.Cells from across the biological kingdoms are continuously engaged in the process of decision making, by which is meant that cells take information from their surroundings (including neighboring cells), process this data through complex signal transduction and genetic circuits, and modulate their cellular phenotypes in response. Decision making implies that choices are made from competing options and that once made, these choices have some degree of persistence even as conditions change. This workshop will bring together theoretical and experimental scientists to discuss major issues in cell decision-making processes and the new approaches that may be employed to study these issues. This workshop will serve to catalyze discussions between research scientists with shared interests, but working on very different cell systems (eukaryotic vs. prokaryotic). Broader impacts. The workshop will point the direction to new research partnerships between theorists and experimentalists, and help develop a consensus for this field of research driven by the similarities in the biology of diverse cellular systems. The workshop organizers will write a report summarizing the status of the field, including the limits to current understanding; identification of the key questions for future research efforts; and the barriers to be overcome as the field moves forwards. The workshop supports the goal of broadening participation by the inclusion of women and members of groups under-represented in science.This award is supported by all clusters in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences and by the Physics of Living Systems Program in the Division of Physics.

会议：细胞决策研讨会，弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿，2013 年 6 月 10-11 日。来自各个生物界的细胞不断参与决策过程，这意味着细胞从周围环境（包括邻近细胞）获取信息，通过复杂的信号转导和遗传电路处理这些数据，并相应地调节其细胞表型。决策意味着选择是从相互竞争的选项中做出的，而且一旦做出，即使条件发生变化，这些选择也会在一定程度上持续存在。本次研讨会将汇集理论和实验科学家，讨论细胞决策过程中的主要问题以及可用于研究这些问题的新方法。该研讨会将促进具有共同兴趣但研究截然不同的细胞系统（真核与原核）的研究科学家之间的讨论。更广泛的影响。该研讨会将为理论家和实验家之间的新研究合作指明方向，并帮助在不同细胞系统生物学相似性驱动的这一研究领域达成共识。研讨会组织者将撰写一份报告，总结该领域的现状，包括当前理解的局限性；确定未来研究工作的关键问题；以及该领域向前发展时需要克服的障碍。该研讨会支持通过纳入女性和科学领域代表性不足的群体成员来扩大参与的目标。该奖项得到了分子和细胞生物科学部所有集群以及物理部生命系统物理学项目的支持。
