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作用有机体，已被用于了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较大物种细胞中与环境相互作用的关键结构。这次会议将重点介绍该领域的最新进展，包括新的技术能力。这次会议将召集经验丰富的研究人员和职业生涯早期的科学家在正式讲座和讨论环节中，鼓励就细胞结构的形成、游泳行为和光合作用在光照水平每日变化时的调节等最新研究成果进行非正式讨论和分享。本科生、研究生和博士后研究员以及高级研究人员将参加这次会议，讨论我们对光合作用单细胞绿藻衣藻生物学的各个方面的理解。衣藻长期以来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底，细胞器的生物发生，细胞周期和昼夜节律，环境反应，以及研究这些生物体的新方法。除了正式的讨论，还将通过两个海报会议促进参与，以促进研究人员之间的互动。NSF的资助将用于支付差旅费用，以允许职业生涯早期的参与者出席，特别是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。

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.
