The Cyanobacterial Workshop presents a unique opportunity to facilitate productive communication between researchers from multiple disciplines, all sharing a common interest in cyanobacteria either as the direct subject of their research or as experimental models to investigate fundamental scientific questions. The major objective of the workshop is to provide a readily accessible venue for young scientists (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) to present the results of their research efforts, and formally and informally discuss their work with leading members of the community. The Workshop will provide support for the attendance of young scientists, with an emphasis on increasing the participation of women and minorities under-represented in the field; the diversity of topics and technical approaches presented at the Workshop will provide a stimulating multidisciplinary environment for junior and senior scientists alike. Cyanobacteria are major contributors to the global oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen cycles and are increasingly used as platforms for biotechnological innovation for the development of "green" biofuels, chemical feedstocks, and high value products. The Cyanobacterial Workshop is enriched by the intersection of disciplines ranging from metabolic engineering to microbial ecology, and themes include Molecular Responses to Stress; Photosynthesis; Physiology and Metabolism; Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology; Differentiation; Environment and Ecology; Regulation; Phylogeny and Evolution.This award is supported jointly by programs in Cellular Dynamics and Function, and Systems and Synthetic Biology.

蓝藻研讨会提供了一个独特的机会，以促进来自多个学科的研究人员之间的富有成效的沟通，所有人都对蓝藻有着共同的兴趣，无论是作为他们研究的直接主题，还是作为研究基本科学问题的实验模型。讲习班的主要目标是为青年科学家（研究生和博士后研究员）提供一个方便的场所，介绍他们的研究成果，并与社区的主要成员正式和非正式地讨论他们的工作。讲习班将为青年科学家的出席提供支持，重点是增加在该领域代表性不足的妇女和少数群体的参与;讲习班上提出的专题和技术方法的多样性将为初级和高级科学家提供一个令人振奋的多学科环境。蓝藻是全球氧、碳和氮循环的主要贡献者，并且越来越多地用作生物技术创新的平台，用于开发“绿色”生物燃料、化学原料和高价值产品。蓝藻研讨会是丰富的学科交叉，从代谢工程到微生物生态学，和主题包括分子响应压力;光合作用;生理学和代谢;生物技术和合成生物学;分化;环境和生态学;调节;系统发育和进化。该奖项是由细胞动力学和功能，系统和合成生物学项目联合支持。
