US--JAPAN SEMINAR ON BIOORGANIC MARINE CHEMISTRY

描述：(首席调查者)海洋生物有机学科 化学和生物技术被提议为美日联合研讨会，以 将于1998年12月14日至18日在加利福尼亚州圣克鲁斯举行。其目的是为了 从美国带来16名与会者和6名观察员，外加13名与会者 和来自日本的7名观察员在一起，这样他们就可以参与正式和 关于实地前沿问题的非正式讨论。研讨会将于 提供一个在其他科学会议上没有重复的机会 交流信息和想法，提出和辩论问题，以及 促进两国科学家之间的个人接触。海军陆战队 生物有机化学家继续被视为一个令人兴奋的领域 研究，由来自两个领域的多个学科的科学家密切关注 化学和生物。对海洋生物有机技术的兴趣也是 在世界范围内的学术和工业领域都在升级。 有趣的是，大多数主要实验室以及新的调查人员 在这一领域，主要集中在美国和日本。通常，这些想法 以及由学术和工业研究小组在这些领域开发的技术 两个国家都有极大的影响力。因此，联合研讨会将有 对美国和美国正在进行的研究产生了重大影响 日本调查人员因此为未来的方向设定了主题。 讨论的主要领域将是广泛的，如下：a) 海洋大型生物的化学多样性；b)海洋来源的微生物 不寻常代谢物的来源；c)新材料作为海洋研究的重点 生物技术；d)物种间的相互作用由次生生物 代谢物；e)海洋来源的药理工具；和f)机制 不能进行海洋生物合成。研讨会将由一小时的报告组成。 在上午和晚上，下午为个人自由 讨论、海报演示或自发形成的专题 利益集团讨论。此格式的目的是最大化 在小型研讨会环境中建立的个人联系，以培养更大的 在研究方面的合作和协作，并促进解决 重要的研究问题。研讨会的组织者是：美国-教授 菲利普·克鲁斯，加州大学化学与生物化学系 加州大学圣克鲁斯分校；日本--北卡罗来纳大学 德岛大学药学专业。

DESCRIPTION: (Principal Investigator's) The subjects of marine bioorganic chemistry and biotechnology are proposed for a Joint U.S. - Japan seminar to take place in Santa Cruz, CA, during December 14-18, 1998. The aim is to bring 16 participants and 6 observers from the U.S., plus 13 participants and 7 observers from Japan together so they can engage in both formal and informal discussions on frontier issues in the field. The seminar will provide an opportunity, not duplicated in other scientific meetings, to exchange information and ideas, to raise and debate questions, and to promote personal contacts between scientists from the two countries. Marine bioorganic chemistr continues to be regarded as an exciting area of research, watched closely by scientists from many disciplines in both chemistry and biology. Interest in marine bioorganic technology is also escalating in both the academic and industrial domain worldwide. Interestingly, a majority of the major labs as well as the new investigators in this field are concentrated in the U.S. and Japan. Frequently, the ideas and techniques developed by academic and industrial research groups in these two countries are extremely influential. Thus, the joint seminar will have a substantial impact on the research being carried out both by U.S. and Japan investigators thereby setting the theme for future directions. The principal areas for discussion will be broad and are as follows: a) chemodiversity of marine macroorganisms; b) marine-derived microorganisms as a resource for unusual metabolites; c) new materials as a focus for marine biotechnology; d) interactions between species mediated by secondary metabolites; e) pharmacological tools from marine sources; and f) mechanisms o marine biosynthesis. The seminar will consist of one-hour presentations in the mornings and evenings, with the afternoons free for personal discussions, presentations of posters or spontaneously formed special interest group discussions. The intent of this format is to maximize the personal contacts developed in a small seminar setting, to foster greater cooperation and collaboration in research and to facilitate the solution of important research problems. The seminar organizers are: U.S. -Professor Phillip Crews, Departmen of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California at Santa Cruz; and Japan - Professor Takenori Kusumi, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tokushima University.
