U.S.-Japan Seminar on Bioorganic Marine Chemistry

小行星9726797 该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国-拟于1998年12月14日至18日在加州的圣克鲁斯举行的日本生物有机海洋化学研讨会。 协办者是圣克鲁斯的加州大学的菲利普克鲁斯教授和日本德岛大学的久住隆。 研讨会将讨论广泛的专题，包括：（a）海洋大型生物的化学多样性;（B）海洋微生物作为不寻常代谢物的来源;（c）新材料作为海洋生物技术的重点;（d）次级代谢物介导的物种间相互作用;（e）来自海洋的药理工具;（f）海洋生物合成机制。 海洋生物有机化学仍然被视为一个令人兴奋的研究领域，受到化学和生物学许多学科科学家的密切关注。 在世界范围内，学术界和工业界对海洋生物有机技术的兴趣也在不断增加。 大多数主要实验室以及该领域的新研究人员都集中在美国和日本。 这两个国家的学术和工业研究团体开发的思想和技术往往极具影响力。此外，年轻科学家也将参加研讨会。 与日本专家在这一领域的想法和数据交流将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 ***

9726797 Crews This award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on Bioorganic Marine Chemistry, to be held in Santa Cruz, California from December 14-18, l998. The co-organizers are Professors Phillip Crews of the University of California at Santa Cruz and Takenori Kusumi of Tokushima University in Japan. The seminar will address a broad range of topics including: (a) chemodiversity of marine macroorganisms; (b) marine-derived microorganisms as a resource for unusual metabolites (c) new materials as a focus for marine biotechnology; (d) interactions between species mediated by secondary metabolites; (e) pharmacological tools from marine sources; and (f) mechanisms of marine biosynthesis. Marine bioorganic chemistry continues to be regarded as an exciting area of research, watched closely by scientists from many disciplines in both chemistry and biology. Interest in marine bioorganic technology is also escalating in both the academic and industrial domain worldwide. A majority of the major labs, as well as the new investigators in this field, are concentrated in the U.S. and Japan. Frequently, the ideas and techniques developed by academic and industrial research groups in these two countries are extremely influential. In addition, younger scientists will be included in the seminar. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. ***
