U.S.-Thailand Workshop: Interfaces of Analytical Sciences

0533548克里斯蒂安该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国-泰国关于分析科学接口的联合讲习班，将于2006年1月6日至9日在泰国清迈举行。 共同组织者是西雅图的华盛顿大学的加里·克里斯蒂安教授和泰国的清迈大学的凯特·格鲁潘教授、玛希隆大学的Vichai Ruttrakul教授和高等教育委员会（CHE）秘书长Pavich Tongroach教授。 泰国教育部是讲习班的部分赞助者。讲习班的重点将是广泛的分析科学，但重点是生物分析化学和调查生物化学过程的技术，特别是在神经科学方面，这是泰国的一项研究倡议。 他们的国家正在迅速发展其科学基础设施，这类活动将有助于培养双边科学和文化关系。 美国演讲者都是生物分析和相关科学界的杰出成员。 他们的演讲和泰国大学的图尔斯之旅将激发泰国学生在美国攻读研究生的兴趣，这对两国都有利。 预计参加会议的美国博士后和研究生将在未来几年返回进行合作研究。 共同组织者在该领域具有互补的科学专门知识。 这使他们能够评估和吸引最好的科学研究人员参与。 讲习班的组织者作出了特别努力，使博士后、研究生和代表人数不足的群体既作为与会者又作为观察员参加。在这一领域与泰国专家交流想法和数据将为今后的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会之后，组织者计划建立一个研讨会网页。 会议记录将在本网站上公布。

0533548ChristianThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Thailand joint workshop on interfaces of analytical sciences to be held in Chiang Mai, Thailand from January 6-9, 2006. The co-organizers are Professor Gary Christian at the University of Washington in Seattle and in Thailand Professor Kate Grudpan at Chiang Mai University, Professor Vichai Reutrakul at Mahidol University and Professor Pavich Tongroach, Secretary General of the Commission on Higher Education (CHE). The Thai Ministry of Education is a partial sponsor of the workshop. The focus of the workshop will be the analytical sciences broadly, but with an emphasis on bioanalytical chemistry and techniques for the investigation of biochemical processes, particularly in the neurosciences, which is a research initiative in Thailand. Their country is rapidly developing its scientific infrastructure and this type of activity will help nurture bilateral scientific and cultural relationships. The U.S. presenters are all prominent members of the bioanalytical and related sciences communities. Their presentations and tours of Thai universities will stimulate the interest of Thai students to seek graduate studies in the U.S., which will be beneficial to both countries. It is also anticipated that the U.S. postdocs and graduate students participating in the conference will return for collaborative research in future years. The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best science researchers to participate. The workshop organizers have made a special effort to involve postdocs, graduate students and underrepresented groups as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Thai experts in this field will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar the organizers plan to establish a workshop web page. Conference proceedings will be published on this web site.
