Gordon Research Seminar and Gordon Research Conference on Cellular and Molecular Fungal Biology

该项目将支持年轻教师、代表性不足的少数民族科学家、PUI教师、研究生和博士后参加将于2018年6月16日至22日在荷兰霍尔德尼斯举行的2018年细胞和分子真菌生物学戈登研究研讨会和会议。会议将包括简短的演讲、海报会议、公共用餐和对话，将为分享最新研究成果和探索合作可能性提供充足的机会。真菌表现出令人难以置信的形式和功能的多样性；它们是自然生态系统中营养物质的主要回收者，是人类、动物和植物作物的毁灭性病原体，也是合成生物学的极好底盘。该项目的更广泛影响包括该主题对我们整体理解细胞和分子生物学的重要性，以及培训新科学家从事这一重要和工业相关领域的研究。会议将专门为年轻研究人员提供机会，让他们介绍自己的工作并获得建设性的反馈。本次会议的主要目的是促进具有共同专业兴趣的科学家之间的讨论，包括来自非研究密集型学院和大学的科学家，以促进跨学科的思想交流，并促进对新的科学合作的追求。

This project will support attendance of young faculty, under-represented minority scientists, PUI faculty, along with graduate students and post-docs at the 2018 Cellular and Molecular Fungal Biological Gordon Research Seminar and Conference to be held in Holderness, NH June 16-22, 2018. The meeting will consist of short talks, poster sessions, communal dining, and conversations that will provide ample opportunity for sharing latest research results and for exploring collaborative possibilities. Fungi display an incredible diversity of forms and functions; they are master recyclers of nutrients in natural ecosystems, devastating pathogens of humans, animals, and plant crops, and superb chassis for synthetic biology. The Broader Impacts of this project involves both the importance of the topic to our understanding of cellular and molecular biology as a whole, as well as the training of new scientists to pursue research in this important and industrially relevant field. Sessions will be developed to specifically provide opportunities for young researchers to present and receive constructive feedback on their work. The primary purposes of this conference are to promote discussion between scientists with common professional interests, including those from non-research-intensive colleges and universities, to facilitate the exchange of ideas across disciplines, and to catalyze the pursuit of new scientific collaborations.
