International Conference on CRISPR Technologies 2017; Raleigh, NC; December 4-6, 2017

该奖项将支持在2017年12月4日至6日于北卡罗来纳州罗利举行的第一届CRISPR技术国际会议上发言并发表海报演讲的早期职业研究人员。会议的形式是演讲和海报的结合，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技术相关的伦理和安全问题。届时将有充足的机会分享最新的研究成果并建立网络。聚集规律间隔短回文重复序列（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、生物技术和农业方面应用的场所。会议的总体目标是：1)促进基因组工程（CRISPR）研究人员之间的科学交流；2)听取研究、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，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并建立网络，因为他们代表了基因组工程领域的未来。

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.
