2005 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Conference on Telemeres and Telomerase, May 4 - 8, 2005 to be held in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York

PI正在组织第四届冷泉港端粒和端粒酶实验室会议。 端粒领域是一个高度多样化和动态的领域，代表了各种各样的研究兴趣（癌症，衰老，细胞周期，减数分裂，重组，复制等），以及大量不同的生物体（哺乳动物、真菌、原生动物、植物）。 本次会议为这个多元化社区的成员提供了展示和讨论最新研究成果的机会。 前三次冷泉港实验室关于端粒和端粒酶的会议，汇集了这一不同的研究小组，并导致了激烈的讨论和协同作用，由大量未发表的数据刺激。 以前的会议为学生，博士后研究员，初级和高级研究人员提供了良好的平衡，非正式的氛围极大地促进了年轻和年长科学家之间的互动。 所有演讲者都是从提交的摘要中挑选出来的，这最大限度地为新的研究人员和年轻的研究人员提供了展示他们最近未发表的工作的机会。 海报会议和全体会议为介绍新发现提供了更多的渠道，为了进一步鼓励年轻科学家的参与，组织者正在申请资金，以帮助支付年轻科学家的差旅费、食宿费和注册费。 将特别考虑研究生、博士后研究员、初级教员、妇女和少数民族科学家。 资金将根据需要和提交的摘要授予参与者。

The PIs are organizing the 4th Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Conference on Telomeres and Telomerase. The telomere field is a highly diverse and dynamic area, representing a wide variety of research interests (cancer, aging, cell cycle, meiosis, recombination, replication, etc.), as well as a large number of different organisms (mammals, fungi, protozoa, plants). This meeting provides opportunities for members of this diverse community to present and discuss recent research results. The previous three Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meetings on Telomeres and Telomerase, brought together this diverse group of researchers and resulted in vigorous discussion and synergistic interactions stimulated by the presentation of a very large body of unpublished data. Previous conferences have provided a good balance of students, post-doctoral fellows, junior and senior researchers, with an informal atmosphere that contributes greatly to interactions between younger and older scientists. All speakers are chosen from submitted abstracts, which maximizes the opportunity for new researchers and young investigators to present their most recent unpublished work. Poster sessions and plenary talks provide additional outlets for presentation of new findings.To further encourage the participation of junior scientists, the organizers are requesting funding to help defray the costs of travel, room and board, and registration for junior scientists. Special consideration will be given to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, junior faculty, women and minority scientists. Funds will be awarded to participants based on need and submitted abstracts.
