PASI: Model Organisms and Innovative Approaches in Developmental Biology; Guaruja, Brazil, Spring 2005

2005年4月27日至5月4日，由美国国家科学基金会和美国能源部共同支持的莱曼纳德泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖将在巴西圣保罗的Juquehy举行，主题是“发育生物学中的模式生物和创新方法”。“课程将于同一地点举行的拉丁美洲发育生物学学会第二届国际会议前举行，我们鼓励参加者利用拉丁美洲发育生物学学会会议与研究人员建立进一步的联系。” 该研究所将是一个重要的合作培训活动，有16名杰出科学家、15名来自美国的研究生和15名来自拉丁美洲的研究生参加，课程将使学生了解发育生物学的基本问题和最新研究工具。 选择讲师主要是因为他们在各自领域的研究卓越，并愿意在课程结束后继续合作。 此外，PASI将讨论使用拉丁美洲土著生物的研究，以促进亚马逊和大西洋雨林生物多样性的更多合作研究和研究，并激励将发育生物学置于更大的背景下。

The course will take place shortly before the Second International Meeting of the Latin American Society of Developmental Biology (LASDB) at the same site, and participants will be encouraged to take advantage of the LASDB meeting to establish further ties with researchers. The institute will be a significant collaborative training event with the participation of 16 distinguished scientists, 15 graduate students from the United States and 15 from Latin America.The course will expose the students to the fundamental questions and latest research tools used in developmental biology. The lecturers were selected primarily for the excellence of their research in their respective fields and willingness to continue collaborative efforts after the course. In addition, the PASI will feature discussion of research using Latin American indigenous organisms to promote more collaborative research and studies of Amazon and Atlantic rainforest biodiversity, and motivate placing developmental biology in a larger context.
