Neurotransmitters and their Receptors: University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa: September 1996

小行星9630440 内分泌学领域是生物学的一个快速发展的领域。 生物学中的许多非常重要的进展来自于对激素对细胞和生物体功能的作用以及用于细胞通信的机制的研究。 这门学科现在跨越了研究兴趣的巨大多样性，从研究类固醇激素与细胞内受体相互作用引起的细胞核中的分子事件到了解激素对行为的调节。 将于1996年6月在加利福尼亚州旧金山弗朗西斯科举行的国际内分泌学大会代表了一种机制，使年轻和年老的研究人员聚集在一起，了解这一迅速发展的领域的最新进展。 有了这个奖项，妇女内分泌学将支持10名年轻的女调查员参加国际大会的旅行。 出席这次大会将是一个机制，新的研究人员提出他们的数据，以他们的同行，并讨论在这一领域的最新进展。 此外，它将为年轻女性研究者提供一个与内分泌学领域更资深的女性研究者建立关系的机制，这些女性研究者可以帮助她们在未来成功地走上职业道路。参加这次会议将对年轻研究者以及其他与会研究者产生积极影响。

9630440 Ryan The field of endocrinology is a rapidly advancing area of biology. A number of highly significant advances in biology have been derived from investigations into the action of hormones on cellular and organismal function, and the mechanisms used for cellular communication. This discipline now spans the great diversity of research interests from investigations into the molecular events in cell nuclei caused by steroid hormone interactions with intracellular receptors to understanding hormonal regulation of behavior. The International Congress of Endocrinology to be held in San Francisco, CA in June, 1996 represents a mechanism for investigators, young and old, to come together to learn about the latest advances in this rapidly evolving field. With this award, the Women in Endocrinology will support the travel of 10 young female investigators to attend the International Congress. Attendance at this Congress will be a mechanism for new investigators to present their data to their peers and to discuss the recent advances in this field. In addition, it will provide young female investigators with a mechanism to develop relationships with more senior female investigators in endocrinology, who can help them in the future successfully navigate a career path. Attendance at this meeting will positively impact the young investigator, as well as the other investigators in attendance.
