CONFERENCE: Southeastern Regional Yeast Meeting to be held April 12-14, 2019; Atlanta, GA

SERYM年会为来自美国东南部各州的酵母研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，让他们聚集在一起分享他们的初步研究成果，并讨论新的研究工具和新兴技术。酵母是研究复杂分子、细胞、生化和进化过程的重要模型。请求的NSF支持将资助学生与会者的旅费，以最大限度地增加可以参加本次会议的本科生和研究生的数量。酵母研究人员在真菌进化、DNA损伤/修复、基因表达、RNA加工、细胞周期进程、染色体分离、朊病毒繁殖、自噬和细胞器生物发生/维持等领域做出了重大贡献。SERYM 2019会议组织者特别强调在会议期间促进科学讨论，促进与会者之间的新思想交流，特别注重刺激本科生和研究生与会者在会议期间发表演讲，并与更资深的科学家进行互动。本次会议，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

The SERYM annual meeting provides a unique opportunity for yeast researchers from states in the Southeastern region of the U.S. to come together to share their preliminary research findings, and discuss new research tools and emerging technologies. Yeasts are an important model for the study of complex molecular, cellular, biochemical and evolutionary processes. The requested NSF support will fund the travel expenses of student participants in an effort to maximize the number of undergraduate and graduate students that can attend this meeting. Yeast researchers have made significant contributions in areas as diverse as fungal evolution, DNA damage/repair, gene expression, RNA processing, cell cycle progression, chromosome segregation, prion propagation, autophagy, and organelle biogenesis/maintenance.The SERYM 2019 conference organizers are placing particularemphasis on fostering science discussions during the meeting and promoting exchange of new ideas among participants, with a particular focus to stimulate undergraduate and graduate attendees in making presentations during the meeting and engaging in interactions with more senior scientists. This meeting,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.
