This award will help support early career researchers who will speak and give poster presentations at the first International Conference on CRISPR Technologies, which will be held December 4-6, 2017 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The format of the meeting is a combination of talks and posters, which will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. A panel session will be devoted to the discussion of ethical and safety concerns related to CRISPR-Cas technology. There will be ample opportunity for sharing the latest research results and for networking. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technologies are powerful tools for genome editing in animals, plants, and microorganisms. This meeting provides a venue for biologists, chemists, engineers and clinicians to discuss CRISPR-Cas genome editing and its applications to human health, biotechnology and agriculture. The conference has the following overall goals: 1) to facilitate scientific exchange among Genome Engineering (CRISPR) researchers; 2) to have scientific presentations from a diverse group of researchers who study, design and use CRISPR technologies; 3) to promote interactions between clinicians and scientists, and to promote discussions of the applications and implications of CRISPR technologies; 4) to provide a forum for early career scientists to present their research and to network, since they represent the future of the Genome Engineering field.

该奖项将帮助支持将在2017年12月4日至6日在北卡罗来纳州罗利市举行的首届CRISPR技术国际会议上发言和发表海报演讲的职业早期研究人员。会议的形式是演讲和海报相结合，这将促进正式和非正式环境中的科学交流。小组会议将专门讨论与CRISPR-CAS技术有关的伦理和安全问题。将有充分的机会分享最新的研究成果和建立联系。簇状规则间隔短回文重复(CRISPR)技术是动物、植物和微生物基因组编辑的强大工具。本次会议为生物学家、化学家、工程师和临床医生提供了一个讨论CRISPR-Cas基因组编辑及其在人类健康、生物技术和农业中的应用的场所。会议的总体目标如下：1)促进基因组工程(CRISPR)研究人员之间的科学交流；2)研究、设计和使用CRISPR技术的不同研究人员的科学报告；3)促进临床医生和科学家之间的互动，并促进对CRISPR技术的应用和影响的讨论；4)为早期职业科学家提供一个论坛来展示他们的研究和网络，因为他们代表着基因组工程领域的未来。
