Conference: 2017 Gordon Research Seminar on Nucleic Acids at University of New England in Biddeford, ME

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后研究人员出席2017年6月3日至4日在新英格兰，比德福德，ME大学的戈登研究研讨会。会议由两名研究生组织和主持。 会议的形式是讲座和海报相结合，这将促进正式和非正式场合的科学交流。两个主题讲座将精选，一个从该领域的领先研究人员和一个专注于资助写作的实际方面。 将有充分的机会分享最新的研究成果，并探讨合作的可能性。核酸研究领域是多样化的，包括与RNA和DNA生物学相关的研究。 该领域的最新进展反映了这种多样性，并将在本次会议上得到强调，这将使那些没有机会相互交流和学习的科学家聚集在一起。 讨论的主题将是发现和研究一系列不断扩大的非编码RNA，以及应用于探测反应和分子机器中相互作用的新技术，这些反应和相互作用负责不同的过程，包括mRNA剪接，蛋白质合成，DNA复制和重组。 前沿或最新的研究将在从摘要和海报中选择的简短演讲中突出显示。本次会议的主要目的是为年轻研究人员提供一个新的研究成果和想法的科学交流场所，促进对新兴范式的学习，以及它们如何有助于RNA和DNA生物学研究的未来目标，并鼓励新一代核酸研究人员的职业发展，包括那些在科学领域代表性不足的人。

This award will support attendance by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the Gordon Research Seminar at the University of New England, Biddeford, ME on June 3-4, 2017. The meeting is organized and chaired by two graduate students. The format of the meeting is a combination of talks and posters, which will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. Two keynote lectures will be featured, one from a leading researcher in the field and one focused on practical aspects of grant writing. There will be ample opportunity for sharing latest research results and for exploring collaborative possibilities. The field of nucleic acids research is diverse, encompassing research related to the biology of both RNA and DNA. Recent advances in the field reflect this diversity and will be highlighted in this conference, which will bring together scientists who do not often have the opportunity to interact and learn from each other. Among the topics for discussion will be discovery and investigation of an expanding array of non-coding RNAs, as well as new technologies that are being applied to probe reactions and interactions in the molecular machines responsible for diverse processes, including mRNA splicing, protein synthesis, DNA replication, and recombination. Cutting-edge or late-breaking research will be highlighted in short talks chosen from the abstracts and in posters. The primary purposes of this conference are to provide a venue for scientific exchange of new research results and ideas among young researchers, to foster learning about emerging paradigms and how they contribute to future goals for research on RNA and DNA biology, and to encourage career development of a new generation of nucleic acids researchers, including those who are underrepresented in science.
