Conf. on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas

第十届衣藻细胞与分子生物学国际会议将于2002年6月11-16日在加拿大温哥华召开。两年一度的衣藻会议汇集了来自欧洲、亚洲、澳大利亚和北美的近200名研究人员的高度互动和协作社区。这一相对较小的科学家群体的国际性质已经证明了衣藻作为许多基本生物学问题的模式生物选择的发展是无价的，包括鞭毛和基底体的功能和组装，细胞器生物合成及其核/细胞器控制，配子分化和生命周期进程，以及光合作用和趋光性。本申请为受邀演讲者、博士后研究员和研究生参加在温哥华举行的会议募集旅费。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 10th International Conference on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas will be held in Vancouver, B.C Canada on June 11-16, 2002. The biennial Chlamydomonas meetings bring together a highly interactive and collaborative community of -200 researchers from Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. The international nature of this relatively small group of scientists has proven invaluable in the development of Chlamydomonas as the model organism of choice for many fundamental biological problems, including flagellar and basal body function and assembly, organelle biosynthesis and its nuclear/organelle control, gametic differentiation and life-cycle progression, and photosynthesis and phototaxis. This application solicits travel funds to enable invited speakers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to attend the meeting in Vancouver.
