Metabolic Pathway Analysis 2017 Conference Proposal; Bozeman, Montana; June 24-28, 2017

PI：Carlson，Ross P. 提案编号：1660493部分支持代谢途径分析会议将在蒙大拿州州立大学举行，预计将汇集领先的研究人员和发展中的研究生，这将促进对途径分析的非常重要的主题的思想交流。 该基金将促进至少140名研究人员的参与。代谢途径分析（MPA）系列会议是代谢网络拓扑研究的国际会议。MPA 2017将于2017年7月24日至28日在蒙大拿州立大学（MSU），博兹曼举行，并将在两年一度的会议系列的第六次会议。 重点将是解码代谢网络结构和功能的生物学原理，结合实验数据使用定量方法。这笔资金将通过创建8个特邀演讲者奖项来支持国际专家参与代谢网络分析，通过提供32个涵盖MSU自助餐厅用餐费用的奖项来促进研究生参与，并通过部分覆盖所有与会者的MSU宿舍住宿费用来扩大一般参与。本次会议提案的主要目标是传播美国科学家？通过口头和海报展示相结合的方式向国际观众展示美国的研究成果，教育美国科学家掌握最新的代谢系统分析技术，并通过与国际科学家的面对面讨论，支持所有专业阶段的科学家的职业发展。NSF的支持将与其他研究基金一起利用，包括MSU生物膜工程中心，MSU热生物学研究所和MSU女工程师协会的赞助。

PI: Carlson, Ross P. Proposal Number: 1660493 Partial support for the Metabolic Pathway Analysis conference to be held at Montana State University is expected to bring together leading researchers and developing research students that will facilitate exchange of ideas on the very important topic of pathway analysis. The funding will facilitate participation of at least 140 researchers.The Metabolic Pathway Analysis (MPA) conference series is an international meeting for the topological study of metabolic networks. MPA 2017 will be held July 24-28, 2017 at Montana State University (MSU), Bozeman and will be the sixth meeting in the biennial conference series. The focus will be on decoding biological principles of metabolic network structure and function using quantitative approaches in conjunction with experimental data. The funding will support the participation of international experts in metabolic network analysis by creating 8 invited speaker awards, facilitating graduate student participation by providing 32 awards covering the cost of meals at an MSU cafeteria, and broaden general participation by partially covering MSU dormitory housing costs for all attendees. The major goals of this conference proposal are to disseminate US-based scientist?s research to an international audience through a combination of oral and poster presentations, educate US-based scientists in the latest metabolic systems analysis technologies and support career development for scientists at all professional stages through face-to-face discussions with international scientists. The NSF support will be leveraged with other research funds including sponsorship by the MSU Center for Biofilm Engineering, MSU Thermal Biology Institute and the MSU Society of Women Engineers.
