This project will support early-career scientists to attend the annual q-BIO summer conference held at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg VA from August 5-8, 2015. The conference will bring together theorists and experimentalists in an effort to advance the theoretical understanding of complex biological systems. The speaker list includes leaders in the field from the US and abroad. Junior scientist and students are encouraged to participate.To gain a deeper understanding of biology and make use of biological functions for societal benefits, the biology research enterprise is encouraged to adopt a more integrated approach to understand the multi-dimensional complexity and dynamics of these systems. This conference exemplifies one of the ways this can be achieved, namely to bring together theorists with experimentalists to learn from each other and to forge meaningful future collaborations. The organizers have made a noteworthy effort to encourage the participation from underrepresented groups, including women and minorities.

该项目将支持早期职业科学家参加2015年8月5日至8日在弗吉尼亚理工学院和弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡州立大学举行的年度q-BIO夏季会议。该会议将汇集理论家和实验学家，努力推进对复杂生物系统的理论理解。演讲者名单包括来自美国和国外的该领域的领导者。为加深对生物学的认识，并善用生物学的功能，为社会服务，我们鼓励生物研究机构采用更综合的方法，了解这些系统的多维复杂性和动态。这次会议阐明了实现这一目标的方法之一，即将理论家与实验家聚集在一起，相互学习，并建立有意义的未来合作。组织者作出了值得注意的努力，鼓励代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体参加。
