2008 Plant and Fungal Cytoskeleton Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：植物和真菌戈登研究会议为所有研究真菌和植物细胞骨架的研究人员提供了一个论坛，以介绍和讨论有关主题的结果和信息。它将于2008年8月3日至8日在巴尔加意大利的伊尔乔科举行。像许多戈登会议一样，这次会议是该领域最负盛名的会议之一，汇集了一批独特的科学家。主要讨论将是平台会议和海报展示。该会议吸引了研究人员谁是不服务于其他会议和发言人的工作在各种寄生虫，低等植物和藻类以及真菌的大量生物。会议为正在考虑这些研究领域的博士后工作的研究生和博士后研究人员以及可能正在考虑研究计划中的新领域的教师提供了极好的资源。虽然许多受邀演讲者是既定的，但名单上包括12名年轻的研究人员，简短的演讲是从摘要中选出的。这些演讲者通常是研究生和博士后研究员。近三分之一的受邀演讲者是女性。我们邀请了来自欧洲的许多演讲者。本次会议提供了一个论坛，讨论新的方法和程序，有助于真菌和植物研究。包括藻类和寄生虫将增加一个新的层面对人类健康有关的纤毛病和感染。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Plant and Fungal Gordon Research Conference provides a forum for all researchers studying fungal and plant cytoskeleton to present and discuss results and information on a board range of topics. It will be held from August 3-8, 2008 in Il Ciocco, in Barga Italy. Like many Gordon Conferences, this meeting is one of the most prestigious meetings in the field and brings together a unique group of scientists. The primary discussion will be the platform sessions and the poster presentations. The meeting attracts researchers who work on a large number of organisms that are not served by other conferences and speakers work on a variety of parasites, lower plants, and algae as well as fungi. The meeting provides an excellent resource for graduate student and postdoctoral researchers who are considering these areas of research for their postdoctoral work as well as faculty who may be considering new areas in their research program. Although many of the invited speakers are established, the list includes 12 young investigators and short talks are chosen from the abstracts. These speakers are often graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Nearly one-third of the invited speakers are women. We have invited a larger number of speakers from Europe. This conference provides a forum for discussing new methods and procedures that help both fungal and plant research. The inclusion of algae and parasites will add a new dimension on human health as related to ciliopathies and infection.
