Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology: June 17-19, 1993; Providence, RI and Woods Hole, MA

基金用于资助受邀参加第52届发育生物学学会(SDB)年会的演讲者的旅费。SDB年会将于1993年6月17-19日在马萨诸塞州普罗维登斯的布朗大学和伍兹霍尔举行。今年的研讨会由康体发展局现任主席David McClay主办。会议的标题将是“发育生物学学会年会”，为六个平台会议选定了广泛的主题。主题包括“配子形态发生、受精和卵子激活”、“细胞相互作用”、“模式形成”、“发育中的转录调控”、“胚胎的轴向组织”和“在模型发展系统中应用的新方法”。每期会议将包括几个不同的动物和植物模型系统，以展示解决各种发展问题的不同机制。此外，几个关于植物发育遗传学的微型共生体正在计划中。在过去五年中，会议规模中等(300-400名登记人)，只有一次平台会议(总共约30名发言者)，在两次会议上提交了60-80张海报。今年，会议的最后一天将在距离普罗维登斯不远的伍兹霍尔举行。最后一天的研讨会将庆祝伍兹霍尔胚胎学课程100周年，该课程在美国和世界各地的发育生物学家培训中发挥了强大的作用。参加会议的有研究生、博士后研究员和高级研究人员。

Funds are awarded to support the travel of speakers invited to the 52nd annual symposium of the Society for Developmental Biology (SDB), which will be held June 17-19, 1993 at Brown University, Providence, RI and Woods Hole, Mass. This year's symposium is organized by David McClay, current President of the SDB. The title of the meeting will be "Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology" with a broad range of topics selected for the six platform sessions. Topics will include "Gamete Morphogenesis, Fertilization and Egg Activation", "Cell Interactions", "Pattern Formation", "Transcriptional Regulation in Development", "Axial Organization of the Embryo," and "New Approaches Being Applied in Model Developmental Systems". Each session will include several different animal and plant model systems in order to show the diverse mechanisms for solving a variety of developmental problems. In addition, several minisymposia are being planned on plant developmental genetics. In the past five years the meeting has been of medium-size (300-400 registrants) with a single platform session (about 30 speakers total) and 60-80 posters presented at two sessions. This year, the last day of the meeting will be held at Woods Hole, a short distance from Providence, RI. The symposium on the last day will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Woods Hole Embryology Course, a course that has had a strong role in the training of developmental biologists in the United States and around the world. The meeting is attended by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior researchers.
