2015 Plant Metabolic Engineering Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar; White Mountains - New Hampshire - July 18-24, 2015

戈登研究会议和戈登植物代谢工程研究研讨会为发展多学科合作提供了独特的环境，这些合作需要解开植物代谢的化学和生物化学多样性，并推进植物代谢工程的基础和应用研究。2015年会议将于2015年7月18日至24日在新罕布什尔州的沃特维尔山谷会议中心举行。会议将集中在三个关键领域：了解植物代谢途径及其控制的新领域;改变植物代谢和基因表达的新技术;植物代谢工程从概念到领域和市场的发展，例如工业界和学术界的案例研究。演讲者名单包括植物系统和合成生物学领域的领导者。戈登会议和研讨会以其包括研究生和博士后而闻名，过去占与会者的44%。这些初级研究人员有很多机会与该领域的主要研究人员互动。戈登会议和研讨会注意到包容性的必要性。10名女性与会者（6名发言者，4名讨论领导人）已得到确认。将邀请来自代表性不足群体的更多女性参与者和科学家根据其提交的摘要进行更多的规则和简短演讲。该会议在以下组织中广泛宣传：全国黑人化学家和化学工程师组织; SACNAS（墨西哥裔和美洲原住民科学促进协会）;美国化学学会; AAAS少数民族科学家网络。会议地点设有残疾人无障碍设施，并提供托儿服务。

The Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on Plant Metabolic Engineering provides a unique setting for developing multidisciplinary collaborations needed to unravel the chemical and biochemical diversity of plant metabolism and advance basic and applied research in plant metabolic engineering. The 2015 conference will be held July 18-24, 2015 at the Waterville Valley conference center in New Hampshire. The conference will focus on three critical areas: new areas of understanding of plant metabolic pathway and their control; new technologies for modifying metabolism and gene expression in plants; development of plant metabolic engineering from concept to the field and marketplace, as exemplified by case studies from industry and academia. The list of speakers includes leaders in the field of Plant Systems and Synthetic Biology.The Gordon Conference and Seminar is known for its inclusion of graduate students and postdocs that in the past accounted for 44% of participants. These junior researchers have many opportunities to interact with the leading investigators in the field. The Gordon Conference and Seminar is mindful of the need to be inclusive. Ten female participants (6 as speakers, 4 as discussion leaders) have been confirmed. Additional female participants and scientists from underrepresented groups will be invited for additional regula and short talk presentations based on their submitted abstracts. The conference is widely advertised at organizations such as: the National Organization for Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers; SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science); American Chemical Society; AAAS Minority Scientists Network. The meeting location has facilities to provide access to persons with disabilities and provides for child-care.
