FASEB Summer Research Conference on Retinoids; June 17-22, 1990; at Vermont Academy in Saxton's River, Vermont

本申请要求部分支持1990年FASEB类维生素a夏季研究会议。这次会议定于1990年6月17日至22日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。在过去十年中，类维生素a研究领域已经扩大，包括来自不同领域的科学家。本次会议的主要目标是为来自不同国家和背景的科学家提供一个共同的论坛，以了解类维生素a研究的最新进展，并与同事分享他们的想法。这对于那些正在为他们未来的努力寻找富有成效和刺激的环境的初级研究人员来说尤其重要。会议将提供海报讨论环节，以最大限度地提高初级研究人员的积极参与。类维生素a的研究对于理解细胞的通讯、发育和分化、视觉的光传导和基因表达调控具有重要意义。本次会议将为在这些不同领域工作的研究人员提供机会，讨论他们共同关注的问题，并开发新的方法，以增加对这些重要生物分子功能的基本知识。

This application requests partial support for the 1990 FASEB Summer Research Conference on Retinoids. This conference is scheduled to be held June 17-22, 1990 at the Vermont Academy in Saxton's River, VT. The field of retinoid research has expanded in the last decade to include scientists from diverse areas. The major goal of this conference is to provide a common forum to scientists from different countries and backgrounds to learn about the latest developments in retinoid research and share their ideas with colleagues. This is particularly important for junior researchers who are finding productive and stimulating environments for their future endeavors. The conference will provide a poster discussion session to maximize active participation by junior researchers. Research on retinoids is important for understanding cell communication, development and differentiation, phototransduction in vision, and regulation of gene expression. This conference will provide the opportunity for researchers working in these diverse areas to discuss their common concerns and develop new approaches that will increase basic knowledge of the function of these important biological molecules.
