Conference: 2019 Organellar Channels and Transporters GRC/GRS; August 3-9, 2019; Mount Snow, VT

细胞核、线粒体和叶绿体等细胞器在细胞动力学和功能中起着重要作用。该项目将支持年轻的教师，代表性不足的少数民族科学家，研究生和博士后科学家参加2019年戈登研究会议（GRC）和相关的学生/博士后科学家运行戈登研究研讨会（GRS）“细胞器通道和运输”。这些GRS和GRC将分别于2019年8月3日至4日和8月4日至9日在佛蒙特州西多佛举行。会议将汇集来自许多学科的科学家，他们致力于研究动物、植物和真菌系统中各种各样的细胞内细胞器，以促进跨学科合作。会议为研究生和博士后科学家提供了独特的培训机会，与研究细胞器的科学领导人密切互动，加强该领域的研究和培训。 会议将包括平台会议，简短的会谈，海报会议，圆桌会议和非正式对话，这将为分享最新的研究成果以及技术和概念进步提供充分的机会，并探索合作的可能性。其目的是捕捉该领域的最新发现和不同细胞器和过程之间整合的新兴趋势，以及它们与理解基本细胞生物学问题的相关性。特别是，会议将涵盖通道和转运蛋白的结构和功能分析，这些通道和转运蛋白存在于各种细胞器膜中，从植物细胞特有的叶绿体到植物和真菌细胞共享的液泡，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智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估来支持审查标准。

Organelles such as nuclei, mitochondria and chloroplasts, play essential roles in cellular dynamics and function. This project will support young faculty, under-represented minority scientists, graduate students, and postdoctoral scientists in attending the 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and associated student/postdoctoral scientist-run Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on "Organellar Channels and Transporters". These GRS and GRC will be held in West Dover, Vermont, on August 3-4 and August 4-9, 2019, respectively. The meetings will bring together scientists from many disciplines working on a wide variety of intracellular organelles in animal, plant, and fungal systems to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations. The meetings provide unique training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists to closely interact with scientific leaders studying cellular organelles, enhancing both research and training in the field. The meeting will consist of platform sessions, short talks, poster sessions, round tables, and informal conversations that will provide ample opportunity for sharing the latest research results as well as technical and conceptual advances and exploring collaborative possibilities. The aim is to capture the most recent discoveries in the field and the emerging trends of integration among different organelles and processes, as well as their relevance for the understanding of fundamental cell biological questions. In particular, the meetings will cover structural and functional analyses of channels and transporters that reside in various organelle membranes ranging from chloroplasts, unique to plant cells, to vacuoles shared by plant and fungal cells, to nucleus and mitochondria common to all eukaryotes.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.
