The Yeast Chromosome Biology and Cell Cycle Conference

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后参加2020年7月12日至17日在马萨诸塞州巴布森公园举行的美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）会议。这次会议的重点是酵母染色体生物学和细胞周期，由dr。Mosur Raghuraman和Soni Lacefield分别来自华盛顿大学和印第安纳大学。会议的形式包括27场邀请演讲和21场从提交的摘要中选出的演讲（均为25分钟），几场海报会议和10-15名学员在海报上的“闪谈”。Virginia Zakian（普林斯顿大学）的主题演讲将开始会议。还有两个专门的1小时会议供学员与主要专家互动，并在晚上举行三个单独的海报会议。还将为受训者举办职业讲习班。近50%的受邀演讲人是女性，在会议的各个方面都特别强调包括研究生、博士后和那些在科学领域代表性不足的人。本次会议还提供了许多（正式和非正式）分享最新研究成果和探索合作的机会。这是一个关于酵母染色体生物学和细胞周期调控的重要会议，现在已经举办了30年。本次会议将重点介绍染色体生物学、DNA复制、修复和重组、端粒维护以及有丝分裂和减数分裂过程的最新进展，来自全国各地和国际的不同科学家将齐聚一堂。会议主题包括：染色质和核组织，细胞周期调节，基因组稳定性和修复，DNA复制，端粒和末端维护，着丝点和纺锤体，有丝分裂和减数分裂和重组。会议主要突出未发表的研究成果，并为年轻研究人员提供许多经验，以了解该领域并设计未来的研究途径。这次会议将鼓励新一代研究人员的职业发展，包括那些在科学领域代表性不足的研究人员。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，被认为值得支持。

This award will support graduate student and postdoctoral attendance at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) meeting at Babson Park, Massachusetts on July 12 - 17, 2020. The meeting focuses on Yeast Chromosome Biology and the Cell Cycle and is co-organized by Drs. Mosur Raghuraman and Soni Lacefield, at the University of Washington and Indiana University, respectively. The format of the meeting is a combination of 27 invited talks and 21 talks selected from submitted abstracts (both 25 minute duration), several poster sessions and “flash talks” from 10-15 trainees on their posters. A keynote lecture by Virginia Zakian (Princeton University) will begin the meeting. There are also two dedicated 1-hour sessions for trainees to interact with leading experts and three separate poster sessions held in the evenings. A career-workshop will also be held for trainees. Nearly 50% of the invited talks are by women and special emphasis has been placed on including graduate students, postdocs and those underrepresented in science in every aspect of the meeting. This meeting also affords many opportunities (both formal and informal) for sharing recent research findings and exploring collaborations. This is a premier meeting on yeast chromosome biology and cell cycle regulation, now in its 30th year. Recent advances in chromosome biology, DNA replication, repair and recombination, telomere maintenance, and mitotic and meiotic processes will be highlighted in this conference, which will bring together diverse scientists from across the country and internationally. The session topics include: Chromatin and Nuclear Organization, Cell Cycle Regulation, Genome Stability and Repair, DNA Replication, Telomeres and End Maintenance, Kinetochores and Spindles, Mitosis and lastly, Meiosis and Recombination. The conference primarily highlights unpublished research findings and provides many experiences for young researchers to learn about the field and devise future avenues for research. The meeting will encourage career development of a new generation of researchers, including those who are underrepresented in science.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.
