The Biennial Meeting of the Pan American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology

进化发育生物学(EvoDevo)领域位于 进化生物学与几个与人类健康直接相关的领域的交叉， 包括发育生物学、遗传学、基因组学和生理学。主要目标是 EvoDevo与这些以生物医学为重点的领域相同；要了解 基因型决定了表型。然而，与传统的发育遗传学不同， 这在很大程度上依赖于人类在少数模式生物中引发的变异， EvoDevo利用分类群之间自然发生的变异将基因和 表型。为了实现这一目标，EvoDevo的工作人员应用现代发育、遗传、 基因组学和生物信息学工具提供给广泛的模式生物和非模式生物。 泛美进化发展学会的使命 生物学(PASEDB)是为了；1)为EvoDevo在美洲提供声音和宣传， 2)为建立员工之间的沟通和协作提供论坛 实地和相关学科；3)促进EvoDevo的培训和教育 相关学科。 PASEDB的成员认为EvoDevo的持续活力和增长 社区是与以下几个领域直接相关的进步和创新的关键 人类健康。PASEDB还坚定地致力于实现适当的 妇女、种族/少数族裔、残疾人和其他群体的代表性 传统上在科学界代表性不足的个人。主要途径是 PASEDB正在通过组织两年一次的会议来解决这些问题 代表该领域不同领域的知名研究人员和受训人员 可以见面交流意见。PASEDB正在申请NIH的资金，以部分抵消 博士后学者、研究生和本科生的入学费用 学生参加我们的两年一次的会议。

The field of Evolutionary Developmental Biology (EvoDevo) sits at the intersection of Evolutionary Biology and several fields directly relevant to human health, including Developmental Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Physiology. The main goal of EvoDevo is the same as these biomedically-focused fields; to understand how genotype gives rise to phenotype. However, unlike traditional developmental genetics, which relies largely on human-induced variation in a small number of model organisms, EvoDevo utilizes naturally occurring variation between taxa to link genotype and phenotype. To accomplish this, EvoDevo workers apply modern developmental, genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic tools to a broad range of model and non-model organisms. The mission of the Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology (PASEDB) is to; 1) provide a voice for, and promote, EvoDevo in the Americas, 2) provide a forum for establishing communication and collaboration between workers in the field and related disciplines and, 3) promote training and education in EvoDevo and related disciplines. The members of PASEDB view the continued vitality and growth of the EvoDevo community as essential to progress and innovation in several fields directly relevant to human health. PASEDB is also strongly committed to achieving appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in science. The main way PASEDB is addressing these concerns is by organizing a biennial conference where established researchers and trainees representing a diverse cross-section of the field can meet to exchange ideas. PASEDB is requesting NIH funds to partially offset the cost of attendance for postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and undergraduate students to our biennial meetings.
