DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 27th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society aims to act as a nexus for scientists from all disciplines, and at all stages of career development, who share a common research interest in protein structure, function, dynamics, design and their implications with regard to human health and disease. A gathering of biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians and others, the Symposium is designed to facilitate the dissemination of protein-related knowledge outside the silos of discipline and sector, and has long served to accelerate the advancement of health- related discovery. The central role of proteins in human biology, combined with the ever- expanding array of methodologies, tools, and investigative strategies used to understand them, make opportunities for coactive exploration more critical than ever before. The program will consist of 10 scientific sessions that focus on leading-edge topics including protein interactions in the cellular milieu, protein folding proteins and human disease, big machines, chemical biology, post-translational modifications, protein design and directed evolution, functional dynamics, protein science for sustainability, and nanotechnology. It will feature presentations by nearly 50 researchers (including 20 Young Investigator talks, selected from submitted abstracts of students and postdocs), as well as 2 plenary sessions. Recognizing the enduring nature of the struggle against human disease, the Protein Society Symposium places a special emphasis upon fostering the growth and development of young scientists by providing unique and plentiful opportunities for mentorship and interaction with established researchers, career guidance through educational workshops led by established academics, as well as numerous prospects for recognition of their work. And, true to the mission and character of the Society, a focus on the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups means that attendees benefit from varied perspectives, enriching the quality and effectiveness of the overall scientific program. A special edition of the Society journal, Protein Science, containing the submitted abstracts of conference participants, will be published in conjunction with the Symposium and made available to participants and interested investigators in print and online. Held in Boston (July 20- 23, 2013), the Symposium is expected to include more than 1,000 attendees, and will offer complimentary attendance to interested undergraduate students, with a concerted effort to encourage participation by representatives of graduate programs at leading academic institutions, and to act as a forum for connection of the two.

蛋白质协会第27届年度研讨会旨在为来自所有学科的科学家以及职业发展的各个阶段提供联系，他们在蛋白质结构，功能，动力学，设计及其对人类健康和疾病的影响方面具有共同的研究兴趣。该研讨会聚集了生物学家，化学家，物理学家，数学家和其他人，旨在促进学科和部门筒仓之外的蛋白质相关知识的传播，并长期以来一直致力于加速健康相关发现的进步。蛋白质在人类生物学中的核心作用，以及用于理解蛋白质的方法、工具和研究策略的不断扩展，使得合作探索的机会比以往任何时候都更加重要。该计划将包括10个科学会议， 专注于前沿课题，包括蛋白质在细胞环境中的相互作用，蛋白质折叠蛋白质和人类疾病，大型机器，化学生物学，翻译后修饰，蛋白质设计和定向进化，功能动力学，蛋白质科学的可持续性和纳米技术。它将有近50名研究人员的演讲（包括20个青年研究者讲座，从学生和博士后提交的摘要中选出），以及2个全体会议。认识到与人类疾病作斗争的持久性，蛋白质学会研讨会特别强调通过提供独特而丰富的机会来促进年轻科学家的成长和发展，这些机会包括与知名研究人员进行指导和互动，通过由知名学者领导的教育研讨会进行职业指导，以及表彰他们工作的众多前景。而且，忠于社会的使命和特点，对传统上代表性不足的群体的参与的重点意味着与会者从不同的角度受益，丰富了整体科学计划的质量和有效性。学会期刊《蛋白质科学》的特别版将与研讨会一起出版，并以印刷品和在线方式提供给与会者和感兴趣的研究人员。在波士顿举行（2013年7月20日至23日），研讨会预计将包括1,000多名与会者，并将提供免费出席感兴趣的本科生，共同努力，以鼓励在领先的学术机构研究生课程的代表参与，并作为一个论坛，为两者的连接。
