这一题为“斑马鱼--发育生物学家和比较内分泌学家之间思想交流、知识整合和协作的模式系统”的研讨会将作为一项特别活动与在加拿大阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里举行的第六届国际鱼类内分泌学研讨会协调举行。研讨会将主要集中于激素及其受体的功能和分子机制，并将分为三个环节：1)斑马鱼--比较内分泌学会议的模型；2)斑马鱼--发育内分泌学会议的模型；以及3)一般性讨论。这次研讨会的目的是促进发育生物学家和比较内分泌学家之间的信息交流和国际合作，让研究人员了解斑马鱼模型中可用的基因组和分子工具，并最终促进“发育内分泌学”领域的发展。不同国籍、不同性别、不同职业阶段的科学家将参加研讨会。将为研究生，特别是那些来自代表人数不足的群体的研究生提供旅行奖励。预计该讲习班不仅将促进基础科学方面的发现，还将有助于开发生物技术和水产养殖等相关领域的应用。

This workshop titled "Zebrafish- a Model System for Exchange of Ideas, Integration of Knowledge and Collaboration between Developmental Biologists and Comparative Endocrinologists" will be held as a special event coordinated with the 6th International Symposium on Fish Endocrinology in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The workshop will mainly focus on the functions and molecular mechanisms of hormones and their receptors and will be divided into three sessions: 1) Zebrafish-A Model for Comparative Endocrinology Session; 2) Zebrafish-A Model for Developmental Endocrinology Session; and 3) General Discussion. The goals of this workshop are to promote the exchange of information and international collaborations between developmental biologists and comparative endocrinologists, inform investigators about the genomic and molecular tools available in the zebrafish model, and ultimately facilitate the growth of the field of "developmental endocrinology". Scientists of different nationalities, genders, and career stages will participate in the workshop. Travel awards for graduate students, especially those from underrepresented groups, will be provided. It is anticipated that this workshop will advance discoveries, not only in the basic sciences, but also help develop applications in related fields such as biotechnology and aquaculture.
