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12-17日在马萨诸塞州巴布森公园举行的美国实验生物学联合会(FASE B)会议。这次会议的重点是酵母染色体生物学和细胞周期，由华盛顿大学的Mosur Raghuraman博士和印第安纳大学的Soni Lacefield博士分别联合组织。会议的形式包括27次受邀演讲和21次演讲，这些演讲是从提交的摘要中挑选出来的(时长均为25分钟)、几次海报会议以及海报上来自10-15名学员的“快闪演讲”。会议将由弗吉尼亚·扎基安(普林斯顿大学)的主旨演讲开始。还有两个专门的一小时的培训课程，供学员与领先专家互动，以及三个单独的海报课程。还将为学员举办职业讲习班。近50%的受邀演讲是由女性参加的，会议的各个方面都特别强调将研究生、博士后和科学界代表性不足的人包括在内。这次会议还为分享最新研究成果和探索合作提供了许多机会(包括正式和非正式的)。这是一次关于酵母染色体生物学和细胞周期调控的首要会议，现在已经是第30个年头了。这次会议将重点介绍染色体生物学、DNA复制、修复和重组、端粒维持以及有丝分裂和减数分裂过程方面的最新进展，这将使来自全国和国际的不同科学家汇聚一堂。课程主题包括：染色质与核组织、细胞周期调控、基因组稳定性与修复、DNA复制、端粒与末端维持、动粒与纺锤体、有丝分裂以及减数分裂与重组。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。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。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的学术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.
