Project Summary/Abstract “The Virus Structure and Assembly Conference,” organized as part as the FASEB Science Research Conference series, has been running biennially since 1990 and has become the premier meeting for structural virology, attracting investigators at every career level from around the world. The conference covers studies of a broad range of bacterial and eukaryotic viruses, with a focus on virus structure and structure-based studies of macromolecular assembly pathways, mechanisms of virus entry, virus-host interactions, and viral replication. Related topics such as viral genomics and evolution, therapeutics, vaccines and nanotechnological applications are also covered. Since inception, The Virus Structure and Assembly Conference has seen tremendous advances in viral genomics, biophysics and single molecular approaches, and structural biology, especially cryo-electron microscopy. Today, these approaches allow detailed analysis of viral structure at the molecular and even atomic level. These basic scientific studies provide a firm footing on which viral diseases and host defenses can be understood, complement in vivo studies, and promote the development of novel therapeutics. The Virus Structure and Assembly Conference is unique for its broad focus on virus systems and experimental methodologies, which encourages inter-disciplinary approaches, stimulates collaborations and supports the rapid transfer of technology to studies of different viruses. Our scientific program includes top investigators in all areas of structural virology from around the world, 35% of whom are new to the conference. As well as presentations of cutting-edge results, the meeting allows ample opportunity for scientific discussions with speakers and among participants, encouraging the flow of new ideas and new collaborations. An important focus is on encouraging young scientists, students and postdocs to develop their scientific careers through advice and contacts. In 2020 we will have daily “Meet the Expert” sessions, two “flash talk” sessions in which poster presenters give brief 5 minute introductions to their posters, and some posters will be selected for 15 minute platform talks. We also plan a career development workshop emphasizing non-academic careers, and a “power hour” focused on women and underrepresented groups in science. We believe that with our exciting program, the 2020 Virus Structure and Assembly Conference will be another top-quality meeting in this series.

项目总结/摘要 “病毒结构和组装会议”，作为FASEB科学研究的一部分组织 会议系列，自1990年以来每两年举办一次，已成为结构性会议的首要会议。 病毒学，吸引了来自世界各地的各个职业层次的研究人员。会议包括以下研究： 广泛的细菌和真核病毒，重点是病毒结构和基于结构的研究 大分子组装途径，病毒进入机制，病毒-宿主相互作用和病毒 复制的相关主题，如病毒基因组学和进化，治疗学，疫苗和纳米技术 应用程序也包括在内。自成立以来，病毒结构和组装会议已经看到 病毒基因组学、生物物理学和单分子方法以及结构生物学的巨大进步， 尤其是低温电子显微镜。今天，这些方法允许在病毒感染前详细分析病毒结构。 分子甚至原子水平。这些基本的科学研究为病毒性疾病提供了一个坚实的基础， 和宿主防御系统可以被理解，补充体内研究，并促进新的 治疗学 病毒结构和组装会议是独特的，其广泛的重点是病毒系统， 实验方法，鼓励跨学科的方法，刺激合作， 支持将技术快速转移到不同病毒的研究中。我们的科学计划包括顶级 来自世界各地的结构病毒学所有领域的研究人员，其中35%是新的会议。 除了介绍尖端成果外，会议还为科学讨论提供了充分的机会 与演讲者和参与者交流，鼓励新思想和新合作的交流。一个 一个重要的重点是鼓励年轻科学家、学生和博士后发展他们的科学事业 通过咨询和联系。在2020年，我们将有每天的“会见专家”会议，两个“快闪谈话”会议， 哪些海报主持人对他们的海报做了简短的5分钟介绍，并将选出一些海报， 15分钟平台对话我们还计划举办一个职业发展研讨会，强调非学术职业， 还有一个“力量一小时”，关注女性和科学界代表性不足的群体。 我们相信，通过我们令人兴奋的计划，2020年病毒结构和组装会议将成为 这是本系列中的又一次高质量会议。
