2019 Developmental Biology Gordon Research Conference & Seminar

项目摘要/摘要 在过去的40年里，戈登发育生物学研究会议将 约150名杰出的高级和初级科学家，讨论该领域的最新进展，并正在 被公认为发育生物学领域最重要和最负盛名的中型会议。这次会议已经 使其独一无二的几个特点。它横跨各种实验系统，并专注于以下领域 特殊的活动或许诺。这种宽泛的观点和比较分析有助于定义真正必要的 潜在的机制。2019年，29位受邀演讲者根据他们对该领域的创造性贡献进行了挑选 实地情况和他们推动富有成果的讨论的能力证实了他们的出席。近一半(14)的 特邀发言者是妇女，其中两人是代表不足的少数族裔，我们作出了重大努力 鼓励和招募不同群体的科学家参与。今年的主题包括：细胞 单细胞组学时代的同一性和稳健性，发育时间，体外精确的体内， 染色质和表观遗传学对细胞特性的影响，动态成像(和成像动力学)，新概念 模式、新陈代谢和生长控制，以及噪声系统中的发展稳健性。今年我们将 我还要向50年来的《位置信息》致敬，表彰刘易斯·沃尔伯特1969年发表的里程碑式的论文 以及沃尔伯特和其他人的工作，导致了这一概念合成。对于每一次会议，都保留了时间 不承诺从与会者提交的摘要中选择发言者。所有参与者都将获得 有机会在海报会议上展示他们的作品。通过充分利用正式讨论和非正式讨论 戈登发育生物学会议将有助于定义目前的状态和 这一领域的未来。

Project Summary/Abstract For the last four decades, the Gordon Research Conference on Developmental Biology has brought together ~150 outstanding senior and junior scientists for discussions of the recent advances in the field, and is recognized as the major and most prestigious mid-size meeting in Developmental Biology. The conference has several features that make it unique. It spans a wide variety of experimental systems and focuses on areas of exceptional activity or promise. This broad view and comparative analyses helps to define the truly essential underlying mechanisms. In 2019, 29 invited speakers, chosen based on their creative contributions to the field the field and their ability to promote fruitful discussions, have confirmed their attendance. Nearly half (14) of the invited speakers are women, two are underrepresented minorities, and we have made substantial efforts to encourage and recruit participation from a diverse population of scientists. Topics for this year include: Cell identity and robustness in the era of single-cell 'omics, Developmental time, Towards in vitro precision in vivo, Chromatin and epigenetic influences on cell identity, Dynamic imaging (and imaging dynamics), New concepts of pattern, Metabolism and growth control, and Developmental robustness in noisy systems. This year we will also pay tribute to 50 years of “Positional Information”, recognizing the 1969 landmark paper by Lewis Wolpert and the work by Wolpert and others that led to this conceptual synthesis. For each session, time has been kept uncommitted to choose speakers from abstracts submitted by the participants. All participants will be given the opportunity to present their work in poster sessions. By maximizing both formal discussion and informal interactions, the Gordon Conference on Developmental Biology will help to define both the present state and the future of the field.
