CONF: 57th Society for Developmental Biology Annual MeetingPalo Alto, California, June 20-25, 1998

斯科特·马修，P.IBN-9808705为将于1998年6月20-25日在加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的斯坦福大学举行的第57届发育生物学学会年会提供部分资金支持。斯科特博士要求部分资助受邀的全体会议和专题讨论会演讲者的费用，以及将在海报会议上展示他们的工作的本科生、研究生和博士后早期学生的部分旅费。这次会议将有大约800名注册者，并将提供机会听取该领域国际领导人以及年轻科学家的最新工作，他们的工作将从摘要中挑选出来进行口头陈述。将有两个大型海报会议，每次为期两天，让每个人都有机会向丰富多样的观众展示他们的作品。全体会议的主题被选为代表当前发育生物学研究的一些最令人兴奋的领域，包括早期发育、信号系统、神经发育和模式以及细胞引导系统。研讨会的主题广泛：器官发生、信号转导、基因调控的协调和维持、发育的细胞生物学、轴向模式、发育和进化、眼睛发育、医学和发育、形态发生和同源异型盒基因的功能和进化。课程将包括植物、动物、细菌和真菌的研究，并强调多学科方法，包括与人类生物学的联系。继康体局在最近举行的周年会议上成功举办以问题为本的工作坊后，我们将举办有关教育、道德、电脑和影像科技的应用、资助和未来科学发展方向的工作坊。

Scott Matthew, P. IBN-9808705 Funds are requested for partial support of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology, to be held at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, June 20-25, 1998. Dr. Scott is requesting partial support of the expenses for the invited plenary and symposia speakers, as well as partial support of the travel expenses for undergraduate, graduate and early postdoctoral students who will be presenting their work at poster sessions. The meeting will have about 800 registrants and will provide opportunities to hear the latest work from international leaders in the field, as well as from younger scientists whose work will be chosen from the abstracts for oral presentation. There will be two large poster sessions, each for two days, allowing everyone a chance to present their work to a richly diverse audience. The topics of the plenary sessions have been chosen to represent some of the most exciting areas of current developmental biology research, including early development, signaling systems, neural development and patterning, and cell guidance systems. Symposia topics are far ranging: organogenesis, signal transduction, coordination and maintenance of gene regulation, cell biology of development, axial patterning, development and evolution, eye development, medicine and development, morphogenesis, and homeobox gene function and evolution. Work with plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi will be included, and multidisciplinary approaches will be emphasized, including connections with human biology. Continuing the success of issue-oriented workshops at recent SDB annual meetings, we will hold workshops on education, ethics, and applications of computers and imaging technology, funding and future directions in science.
