1990 Midwest Regional Developmental Biology Conference: May 23-25, 1990; Purdue University Lilly Hall of Life Sciences, West Lafayette, Indiana

1990年在普渡大学举行的中西部地区发育生物学会议将为中西部的知名研究人员、研究生和博士后提供一个机会，让他们在一个合适的环境中会面，交流想法，既可以非正式地，也可以通过在平台上展示他们的最新发现和通过海报的方式来进行。在讲台和海报节目中，将在上级和初级人员的演讲之间取得平衡。将为研究生和博士后学生提供机会，介绍他们自己的工作，通常是第一次，并观察优秀的榜样，供他们效仿。为了确保后者，四个会议(Sherri Brown，植物发育；Don Ready，细胞架构和发展；Mark Muskavitch，基因组发育控制；David Stocum，再生和修复)每一次都将有一位受邀的主旨演讲者，以及Carol Erickson的主旨演讲，她将描述她对神经脊细胞迁移的研究。还将有计划地访问生物科学系的实验室(Robinson、Asai、Ready和Vanable的实验室)，使与会者能够第一手了解这些研究人员所采取的方法，并了解他们实验室中使用的一些主要技术。学生、教师和特邀演讲者之间的广泛互动将促进新信息的交流和对发育生物学教学和研究的热情。

The 1990 Midwest Regional Developmental Biology Conference at Purdue University will provide an opportunity for established investigators, graduate students and postdoctoral students in the midwest to meet in a congenial setting to exchange ideas, both informally and by presenting their most recent findings on the platform and by means of posters. A balance will be struck in the platform and poster programs between presentations by senor and by junior persons. Opportunities will be provided for graduate and postdoctoral students to present their own work, often for the first time, and to observe examples of excellence for them to emulate. To ensure the latter, there will be an invited keynote speaker for each of the four sessions (Sherri Brown, Plant Development; Don Ready, Cell Architecture and Development; Mark Muskavitch, Genomic Control of Development; and David Stocum, Regeneration and Repair), as well as a keynote address by Carol Erickson, who will describe her investigations of neural crest cell migration. There also will be scheduled visits to laboratories within the Department of Biological Sciences (those of Robinson, Asai, Ready, and Vanable), to enable conferees to learn first hand the approaches taken by these investigators, and to see some of the major techniques used in their labs. The extensive interaction among students, faculty, and invited speakers will promote the exchange of new information and an enthusiasm for teaching and research in developmental biology.
