CONFERENCE: 2016 Genomic Instability GRS: Molecular Interplay of Chromatin Organization, Replication and Repair to be held on July 23-24, 2016 at Hong Kong University

Gordon Research Seminar on Genomic Instability（GRS），副标题为“染色质组织，复制和修复的分子相互作用”，将于2016年7月23日至24日在香港科技大学举行，并将在2016年7月24日至29日举行的Genomic Instability Gordon Research Conference（GRC）之前举行。GRS的目标是汇集来自世界各地的研究生，博士后研究员，包括代表性不足的社区成员，讨论基因组不稳定性的各种主题的新发展和方向，包括DNA损伤信号机制，复制保真度，DNA重组和染色体分离，以及这些过程对发育，衰老和疾病的影响。GRS将包括从提交的摘要中选择的口头报告，海报会议，主题演讲，关于赠款写作的会议，以及代表学术界和工业界的发言者的闭幕职业小组。参加GRS为代表美国科学未来的年轻研究人员提供了重要的培训经验。该会议旨在促进网络，职业发展和领导技能，作为一个国际会议，将使美国的早期研究人员接触新同事，新合作者以及不同风格的科学和学术。这是GRS的首次提供，尽管会议将建立在2014年在同一地点举行的第一次基因组不稳定性GRC的成功基础上，该会议吸引了来自世界各地的158名参与者，其中43%来自亚洲，33%来自N。美国，23%来自欧洲，澳大利亚和以色列各有1名参与者。申请的资金将用于奖学金，以帮助支付8名学生和博士后的旅费和会议费。组织者将优先支持代表性不足的团体与NSF的资金。

The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Genomic Instability, subtitled 'Molecular Interplay of Chromatin Organization, Replication and Repair', will be held on July 23-24, 2016 at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and will precede the Genomic Instability Gordon Research Conference (GRC), which will run from July 24-29, 2016. The objective of the GRS is to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, from throughout the world, including members of underrepresented communities, to discuss new developments and directions on a variety of topics in Genomic Instability, including mechanisms of DNA damage signaling, replication fidelity, DNA recombination, and chromosome segregation, as well as the impact of these processes on development, aging, and disease. The GRS will include oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts, poster sessions, a keynote presentation, a session on grant writing, and a closing career panel with speakers representing academia and industry. Participation in the GRS provides a significant training experience for young researchers, who represent the future of science in the US. The meeting is designed to promote networking, career development, and leadership skills, and as an international meeting, will expose US-based early stage researchers to new colleagues, new collaborators, and different styles of science and scholarship. This is the first offering of the GRS, although the meeting will build on the success of the first Genomic Instability GRC, held in 2014 at the same site, which attracted 158 participants from all parts of the world, including 43% from Asia, 33% from N. America, 23% from Europe and 1 participant each from Australia and IsraelThe requested funds will be used for fellowships to help defray travel and meeting costs for 8 students and post-docs. The organizers will prioritize support for underrepresented groups with NSF funds.
