Midwest Photosynthesis Meeting--Photosynthesis Research in the Post Genomic World, 2002 at Turkey Run State Park, Marshall, IN

该奖项支持中西部光合作用会议的“光合作用研究在后基因组世界”，将举行的土耳其运行国家公园，马歇尔，在2002年10月27日至29日。这次会议的目的是促进参与光合作用研究的中西部实验室之间的互动与合作，并为研究生和博士后学者提供一个口头和海报展示的论坛。在这方面，年度会议取得了圆满成功，大量的学生和博士后已经走向成功的科学事业。许多人继续研究光合作用，并在全国各地建立了实验室。传统上，这个会议强调生物化学，生物物理学，植物生理学和生物能量学。这一支持将有助于围绕基因组学和结构生物学固有的新技术以及系统生物学的新方法召开会议。通过汇集来自全国各地的光合作用研究人员，他们正在利用高通量技术和计算分析进行光合作用或相关主题的研究，这个前瞻性的会议将使参与者接触后基因组系统生物学。这种支持将扩大参与者的范围，为本科生提供旅费和生活费，并将提高参与者的多样性。

This award supports the Midwest Photosynthesis meeting on "Photosynthesis Research in the Post Genomic World" that will be held at the Turkey Run State Park, Marshall, IN from October 27-29, 2002. The intent of this meeting has been to foster interaction and cooperation among laboratories in the midwest involved with photosynthesis research and to provide a forum for oral and poster presentations by graduate students and post-doctoral scholars. In this regard, the annual meeting has been exquisitely successful and a large number of the students and post docs have gone on to successful scientific careers. Many have continued research in photosynthesis and have established laboratories around the country. Traditionally this meeting has emphasized biochemistry, biophysics, plant physiology and bioenergetics. This support will allow development of a meeting around new technologies inherent in genomics and structural biology and new approaches in systems biology. By bringing together photosynthetic researchers from around the country who are utilizing high throughput technologies and computational analyses for the study of photosynthesis or related topics, this forward looking meeting that will expose the participants to post-genomic systems biology. This support will broaden the range of participants and provide travel and living expenses for undergraduate students and will enhance the diversity of the participants.
