Conference: 2018 Gordon Research Seminar on Genomic Instability, to be held at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Kowloon, Hong Kong, July 21-22, 2018

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后研究人员参加戈登研究研讨会基因组不稳定性：染色体复制，修复和组织在维持基因组稳定性，将于2018年7月21日至22日在香港九龙香港科技大学举行。会议由两位早期职业科学家组织和主持。 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。将有一个来自该领域一位领先研究人员的主题演讲，以及一个关于科学职业的小组讨论和一个关于赠款写作的会议。 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。本次会议将汇集研究与基因组稳定性相关的各种主题的科学家，包括：基因组复制，修复和重组;染色质动力学和染色体组织;以及响应DNA损伤的信号传导。 尖端和最新的研究将突出在从摘要和海报中选择的简短谈话。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，促进对新兴趋势的了解，以及它们如何为基因组不稳定性研究的未来目标做出贡献，并促进新一代科学家的职业发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估来支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This award will support attendance by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the Gordon Research Seminar on Genomic Instability: Chromosome Replication, Repair and Organization in the Maintenance of Genomic Stability, to be held at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Kowloon, Hong Kong, July 21-22, 2018. The meeting is organized and chaired by two early-career scientists. The format of the meeting is a combination of talks and posters, which will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. A keynote lecture from a leading researcher in the field will be featured, together with a panel discussion on careers in science and a session on grant-writing. There will be ample opportunity for sharing latest research results and for exploring collaborative possibilities. This conference will bring together scientists studying diverse topics related to genomic stability, including: genome replication, repair and recombination; chromatin dynamics and chromosomal organization; and signaling in response to DNA lesions. Cutting-edge and 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 trends and how they contribute to future goals for research on genomic instability, and to promote career development of a new generation of scientists, including those who are traditionally underrepresented in the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
