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。该项目将支持年轻教师、代表性不足的少数族裔科学家、研究生和博士后科学家参加2019年戈登研究会议(GRC)和相关学生/博士后科学家运行的戈登研究研讨会(GRS)，主题为“细胞器通道和转运蛋白”。这些GRS和GRC将分别于2019年8月3-4日和8月4-9日在佛蒙特州西多佛市举行。这些会议将汇聚来自多个学科的科学家，他们致力于动物、植物和真菌系统中各种细胞内细胞器的研究，以促进跨学科合作。这些会议为研究生和博士后科学家提供了独特的培训机会，以便与研究细胞器的科学领袖密切互动，加强该领域的研究和培训。会议将包括平台会议、简短演讲、海报会议、圆桌会议和非正式对话，这些会议将为分享最新研究成果以及技术和概念进展以及探索合作可能性提供充足的机会。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，这些会议将涵盖对各种细胞器膜中存在的通道和转运蛋白的结构和功能分析，从植物细胞特有的叶绿体到植物和真菌细胞共享的空泡，再到所有真核生物共有的细胞核和线粒体。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
