Conference: 20th International Meeting for the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas

该奖项将支持将于2023年6月4日至9日在新泽西州普林斯顿大学举行的第20届衣藻细胞和分子生物学国际会议。衣藻是一种迷人的单细胞游泳光合生物，它被用来理解光合作用以及纤毛的形成和行为，纤毛是调节包括人类在内的所有大型物种细胞与环境相互作用的关键结构。本次会议将重点介绍该领域的最新进展，包括新的技术能力。会议将汇集经验丰富的研究人员和早期职业科学家，在正式的会谈和讨论环节，鼓励非正式的讨论和分享最新的研究成果，在细胞结构的形成，游泳行为，以及光合作用的调节在日常变化的光水平。本次会议将有本科生、研究生、博士后以及高级研究员参加，讨论我们对光合作用单细胞绿藻衣藻生物学各个方面的理解，衣藻一直被用作理解光合作用和纤毛结构的模型。讲座的主题包括纤毛和基体、细胞器生物发生、细胞周期和昼夜节律、环境反应以及研究这些生物的新方法。除了正式的会谈外，还将举办两场海报会议，以促进研究人员之间的互动。国家科学基金会的支持将用于支付旅费，以允许参与者在其职业生涯的早期阶段出席会议，特别是对于在该领域代表性不足的群体的成员。该奖项由生物科学理事会分子和细胞生物科学部的细胞动力学和功能集群资助。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 the 20th International Meeting for the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas, to be held June 4-9, 2023 at Princeton University, NJ. Chlamydomonas is a fascinating single-celled swimming photosynthetic organism that has been used to understand photosynthesis as well as the formation and behavior of cilia, key structures that regulate interactions with the environment in cells of all larger species, including humans. Recent advances in the field, including new technological capabilities, will be highlighted in this meeting. The meeting will bring together seasoned investigators with early-career scientists in both formal talks and discussion sessions to encourage informal discussion and sharing of latest research results on the formation of structures in the cell, swimming behavior, and regulation of photosynthesis during daily changes in light levels.This meeting will be attended by undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as senior researchers to discuss our understanding of all aspects of the biology of the photosynthetic single-celled green alga Chlamydomonas, which has long been used as a model for understanding photosynthesis and structure of cilia. Talks will be presented on topics such as cilia and basal bodies, organelle biogenesis, cell cycle and circadian rhythms, environmental responses, and newly available methods for studying these organisms. In addition to formal talks, engagement will be facilitated by two poster sessions to stimulate interactions between researchers. NSF support will be used to defray travel costs to allow attendance of participants from early stages of their careers, especially for members of groups underrepresented in this field.This award is funded by the Cellular Dynamics and Function Cluster of the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences in the Directorate for Biological Sciences.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.
