ORGANIZATION/WORKSHOP FOR MALTA CONF ON RESEARCH + EDUCATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 科斯特洛教授以美国化学学会国际活动委员会主席的身份，担任2005年11月在马耳他举行的第二次中东研究和教育会议的组织委员会成员。来自中东几乎所有国家的70多名参与者以及6名诺贝尔奖获得者参加了会议。获得了ACS、皇家化学学会、德国化学学会、IUPAC以及几个基金会和私人捐助者的支持。该系列的第三次会议也是由这些机构主办的，并于2007年12月在伊斯坦布尔举行。再次，中东大多数国家派代表出席了会议，五位诺贝尔奖获得者是积极参与者。科斯特洛教授是组委会成员，也是药物化学研讨会的联合组织者之一，并介绍了北卡罗来纳大学的研究成果。2009年11月，第四次马耳他会议在约旦安曼举行。再一次，科斯特洛教授在组委会任职，特别是与药物化学研讨会有关的职责。6名诺贝尔奖获得者参加；约旦哈桑王子也作了演讲，并踊跃参加讨论。在会议之前为研究生举办了讲习班，日程安排允许与会议开幕重叠，因此学生们有机会与代表和诺贝尔奖获得者互动。科斯特洛教授在学生项目中做了一次演讲。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. In her role as Chair of the International Activities Committee of the American Chemical Society, Prof. Costello served on the organizing committee for the second Conference on Research and Education in the Middle East, held on Malta in November 2005. More than seventy participants from almost all the countries of the Middle East participated, as did six Nobel prize winners. Support was obtained from the ACS, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the German Chemical Society, IUPAC and several foundations and private donors. The third meeting in the series was also sponsored by these agencies and took place in Istanbul in December 2007. Once again, most of the countries of the Middle East were represented and five Nobel prize winners were active participants. Prof. Costello served on the organizing committee, was a co-organizer of the workshop on Medicinal Chemistry and presented research results from BUSM. In November 2009, the fourth Malta Conference was held in Amman, Jordan. Again, Prof. Costello served on the Organizing Committee and had responsibilities related to the Medicinal Chemistry workshop, in particular. Six Nobelists participated; Prince Hassan of Jordan also gave a lecture and enthusiastically participated in discussions. A workshop for graduate students preceded the meeting and the schedule allowed overlap with the opening of the Conference, so students had the opportunity for interactions with the delegates and Nobelists. Prof. Costello gave a lecture in the student program.
