Conference: 2023 Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Seminar

2023年戈登核酸研究研讨会（GRS）将于6月17日至18日在美国缅因州Sunday River的Grand Summit酒店举行。GRS将以“核酸：机制与医学”为主题，并将在相关的戈登研究会议“DNA、RNA和核酸加工酶的结构、功能和机制行为”之前举行。GRS的参与者将是研究生、博士后研究员和其他早期职业科学家。为期两天的会议将有三个口头报告环节，两个海报环节，以及一个关于“博士毕业后的职业发展路径”的小组讨论，为与会者提供了许多分享科学，网络和了解学术界内外各种职业发展路径的机会。GRS由一名博士后组织和主持，将成为一项示范性的专业发展活动。在GRS的科学交流将涵盖涉及基因表达和调控机制的基础生物学问题，以及与核酸治疗相关的医学相关主题。口头报告将包括DNA复制和修复、转录和翻译机制、RNA结构和功能、RNA加工、核酸修饰、CRISPR技术和治疗等主题。一个关于核酸生物学方法发展的专门会议将使与会者了解最新的新技术和协议，以及如何将这些技术和协议用于解决他们自己的研究问题。鼓励GRS参与者展示未发表和正在进行的研究工作，帮助推动核酸生物学领域的知识前沿。除了成为公开交流大胆想法的平台之外，会议还将促进来自传统上代表性不足的社区的初级调查人员的参与。预计会议成果将推动基础生物学研究和创新解决方案的开发，以应对医疗保健、粮食安全和气候变化等重大全球挑战。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。

The 2023 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Nucleic Acids will be held on June 17th and 18th at the Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River in Maine, USA. The GRS will be themed “Nucleic Acids: Mechanism meets Medicine” and will occur just prior to the associated Gordon Research Conference on “Structural, Functional and Mechanistic Behavior of DNA, RNA and Nucleic Acid Processing Enzymes”. The GRS participants will be graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other early career scientists. The two-day meeting will have three oral presentation sessions, two poster sessions, and one panel discussion on “career pathways after PhD”, which will offer the participants many opportunities to share science, network, and learn about various career development paths within and outside of academia. The GRS is organized and chaired by a postdoctoral fellow and will serve as an exemplary professional development activity. The scientific exchanges at the GRS will cover both fundamental biology questions involving mechanisms of gene expression and regulation, and medically relevant subjects related to nucleic acid therapeutics. The oral presentations will include topics such as DNA replication and repair, mechanisms of transcription and translation, RNA structure and function, RNA processing, nucleic acid modifications, CRISPR technologies, and therapeutics. A dedicated session on method development in nucleic acid biology will bring participants up to date on new technologies and protocols, and how these can be adapted to solving their own research questions. GRS participants are encouraged to present unpublished and ongoing research work, helping push the frontiers of knowledge in the field of nucleic acid biology. In addition to being a platform for open exchange of bold ideas, the meeting will catalyze the participation of junior investigators from traditionally underrepresented communities. The meeting outcomes are expected to advance fundamental biological research and development of innovative solutions for critical global challenges, including healthcare, food security and climate change.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.
