Conference: The Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas being held June 6-10, 2010 in Boston, Massachusetts

单细胞藻类原生生物衣藻是利用细胞生物学、遗传学、生物化学、生物物理学、结构生物学和基因组学来研究基本的、进化上保守的细胞结构和过程的受欢迎的模式生物。衣藻研究界每两年举行一次会议，交流方法，发展合作努力，传播最新进展，并计划大规模研究，以提高这种独特的研究有机体的有用性。这次会议的目标包括为所有使用单细胞衣藻及其多细胞近亲Volvox的研究人员提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论他们的结果，交流信息，发展新的合作，并提高共享数据库资源的有用性。更广泛的影响。这次会议将为扩大衣藻和相关藻类作为研究和教育工具的使用提供机会，并将促进和展示年轻科学家、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体成员的研究。鼓励博士后研究员、研究生(和一些本科生)、妇女和少数民族介绍他们的研究。该奖项由蜂窝系统集群和基因和基因组系统集群共同资助。

The single-celled algal protist Chlamydomonas is a favored model organism forstudies using cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, andgenomics to learn about basic, evolutionarily conserved cellular structures andprocesses. The Chlamydomonas research community meets every twoyears to exchange methods, develop collaborative efforts, disseminate recentadvances, and plan large-scale studies to improve the usefulness of this uniqueresearch organism. The objectives of this conference include the provision of a forum for all researchers using the unicellular Chlamydomonas and its multicellular relative Volvox to present and discuss their results, to exchange information, to develop new collaborations, and to improve the usefulness of shared database resources. Broader Impacts. This conference will provide opportunities for expanding the use of Chlamydomonas and related algae as research and educational tools and will promote and showcase the research of younger scientists, women and members of underrepresented minorities. Postdoctoral fellows, graduate (and some undergraduate) students, women and minorities are encouraged to present their research. This award is co-funded by the Cellular Systems Cluster and the Genes and Genomes Systems Cluster.
