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.

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届衣原体细胞和分子生物学国际会议。 衣原体是一种迷人的单细胞游泳光合生物，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与环境相互作用的关键结构。 这次会议将突出强调该领域的最新进展，包括新的技术能力。本次会议将汇集资深研究人员和早期职业科学家，通过正式会谈和讨论环节，鼓励非正式讨论和分享最新研究成果，包括细胞结构的形成，游泳行为，以及在光照水平变化下光合作用的调节。本次会议将由本科生和研究生以及博士后研究员参加，以及高级研究人员讨论我们对光合作用单细胞绿色披衣藻生物学各个方面的理解，披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。 讲座将介绍的主题，如纤毛和基体，细胞器的生物发生，细胞周期和昼夜节律，环境反应，以及新的可用的方法来研究这些生物。 除了正式的会谈，参与将促进两个海报会议，以刺激研究人员之间的互动。 NSF的支持将用于支付旅行费用，使参与者从职业生涯的早期阶段就能参加，特别是在这一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，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
