CSHL Symposium on Quantitative Biology

描述(申请人提供)：冷泉港定量生物学研讨会于每年6月初在纽约冷泉港实验室举行。他们聚集了来自世界各地的大约300-400名科学家，介绍和评估快速发展的生物研究领域的新数据和新想法。每年，都会选择一个似乎处于需要全面和深入审查的阶段的主题。研讨会总是寻求吸引来自国外和美国的研究人员，以确保项目的广度和深度，并利用他们的具体贡献。他们还寻求为优秀的年轻科学家，包括研究生和博士后研究员，提供参与和与更多资深科学家交流的机会。研讨会还寻求女性和少数族裔科学家的参与。研讨会聚集了使用各种方法的科学家，例如遗传学、生物化学、分子生物学、细胞生物学和结构研究，以分析所讨论领域的问题。研讨会的会议记录由实验室公布，因此比出席会议的科学家更广泛地向受众提供。一年一度的研讨会将继续计划，以推动生物医学科学的进步。该提案请求在2006年期间为第71届冷泉港专题讨论会提供支持，该专题讨论会的重点将是“管制RNA”。会议将讨论小核糖核酸现象及其在细胞内各种调节现象中的作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology are held yearly at the beginning of June at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York. They bring together approximately 300-400 scientists from all over the world to present and evaluate new data and ideas in rapidly moving areas of biological research. Each year, a topic is chosen that seems to be at a stage where general and intensive scrutiny and review is needed. The Symposia always seek to bring research workers from abroad, as well as the U.S., so as to ensure the wide scope and depth of the program and to take advantage of their specific contributions. They also seek to provide outstanding younger scientists, both graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, with an opportunity to participate and communicate with more senior scientists. The Symposia also seek to have participation from women and minority scientists. The Symposia bring together scientists who use a variety of approaches, e.g., genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and structural studies, to analyze problems in the area under discussion. The proceedings of the Symposia are published by the Laboratory and thus made available to a wider audience than the scientists who attend the meeting. The annual Symposia will continue to be planned to further the progress of advancements in biomedical science. This proposal requests support for the period 2006 to cover the 71st Cold Spring Harbor Symposium which will focus on "Regulatory RNAs". The meeting will address the phenomenon of small ribonucleic acids and their function in a variety of regulatory phenomena in the cell.
