Conference: 2007 Plant Metabolic Engineering Gordon Conference & Graduate Research Seminar

2007年植物代谢工程戈登会议研究生研究研讨会将于2007年7月15日至20日在蒂尔顿学校，蒂尔顿，新罕布什尔州。会议于2005年开始，来自世界各地的130多名科学家非常成功地聚集在一起，会议将继续为发展多学科合作提供一个环境，这对解开植物代谢网络的动态复杂性和推进植物代谢工程的基础和应用研究至关重要。与2005年的会议类似，预计演讲者和与会者的人数将达到130-150人，来自美国和国外，各个职业层次，代表学术界、工业界、私营机构和联邦实验室。扩大了从代表性不足的群体中征聘妇女、残疾人和科学家作为发言者和与会者的协调努力。例如，除了2007年的GRC，研究生研究研讨会（GRS）在植物代谢工程前不久的GRC开发，这可能会作为一个模板，为未来的会议。GRS为初级科学家（博士）提供了一个独特的场所。学生和博士后研究员）在一个更轻松的环境中在同龄人面前展示他们的研究，旨在接触代表性不足的学生和专业人员。戈登会议继续被认为是全球顶级科学会议之一，吸引了顶尖的研究人员，有利于发展互动和探索新的视野。将鼓励并期望GRS的参与者留下来参加GRC，进一步加强本次会议的教育部分。预计GRS将对吸引顶尖的年轻科学家到植物代谢工程领域产生重大影响。

The 2007 Plant Metabolic Engineering Gordon Conference & Graduate Research Seminar will take place July 15-20, 2007, at the Tilton School, Tilton, New Hampshire. Started in 2005 with a very successful gathering of over 130 scientists from all over the World, the conference will continue to provide a setting for developing multidisciplinary collaborations essential to unravel the dynamic complexity of plant metabolic networks and advance basic and applied research in plant metabolic engineering. Similar to the 2005 meeting, it is expected that the number of speakers and participants to number approximately 130-150 from the US and abroad, at all career levels, and represent institutions from academia, industry, private institutes, and federal laboratories. Concerted efforts to recruit women, persons with disabilities, and scientists from underrepresented groups as speakers and participants have been expanded. For instance, in addition to the 2007 GRC, a Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) in Plant Metabolic Engineering immediately before the GRC is developed, which may serve as a template for future meetings. The GRS provides a unique venue for junior scientists (Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows) to present their research in a more relaxed setting in front of their peers and is designed to reach out to under-represented groups of students and pre-professionals. The Gordon Conferences continue to be considered among the top scientific meetings worldwide, attracting top researchers in settings that are conducive to developing interactions and exploring new horizons. Participants to the GRS will be encouraged and expected to stay for the GRC, further enhancing the educational component of this conference. It is expected that the GRS will have a significant impact in attracting top junior scientists to the plant metabolic engineering field.
