2018 FASEB Summer Research Conference on Yeast Chromosome Biology & Cell Cycle; July 15-20, 2018; Steamboat Springs, Colorado

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后研究人员参加美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）会议，该会议于2018年7月15日至20日在汽船泉举行。这次会议的重点是酵母染色体生物学和细胞周期，由Jennifer Gerton（Stowers研究所）和Mosur Raghuraman（华盛顿大学）共同组织。会议的形式是邀请演讲，从提交的摘要和海报会议中选择的演讲相结合。会议开始将由一位细胞周期研究的主要研究人员作主旨演讲。前沿研究也将在从摘要中选择的15分钟的简短演讲中突出显示。10到12名研究生和博士后也将对他们的工作进行5分钟的快速演讲。还有一个专门的2小时会议，让学员与出席会议的所有科学演讲者互动，以及三个单独的海报会议。会议提供了许多机会（正式和非正式）分享最新的研究成果和探索合作。染色体生物学和细胞周期领域非常多样化。这次会议是为数不多的关注真菌模型系统的会议之一，从这些系统中已经出现并将继续出现关于这个主题的许多基本发现。染色体生物学的最新进展将在这次会议上突出，这将汇集来自全国各地的不同科学家。会议主题包括有丝分裂过程，减数分裂，重组，DNA复制，端粒结构和复制，染色体结构，染色质和核组织，以及动粒结构，纺锤体动力学和细胞周期进程。会议主要强调未发表的研究成果，并为年轻研究人员提供许多经验，以了解该领域并为染色体生物学研究制定未来目标。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support graduate student and postdoctoral researcher attendance at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) meeting at Steamboat Springs, CO on July 15 - 20, 2018. This meeting focuses on Yeast Chromosome Biology and Cell Cycle and is co-organized by Jennifer Gerton (Stowers Institute) and Mosur Raghuraman (University of Washington). The format of the meeting is a combination of invited talks, talks selected from submitted abstracts and poster sessions. A keynote lecture by a leading researcher in cell cycle studies will begin the meeting. Cutting-edge research will also be highlighted in short 15-minute talks chosen from the abstracts. Ten to twelve graduate students and postdocs will also give 5-minute flash talks of their work. There is also a dedicated 2-hour session for trainees to interact with all the scientific speakers present at the meeting and three separate poster sessions. The meeting affords many opportunities (both formal and informal) for sharing recent research findings and exploring collaborations.The fields of chromosome biology and cell cycle are quite diverse. This meeting is one of the few that focuses on fungal model systems from which numerous fundamental discoveries on this topic have emerged and continue to emerge. Recent advances in chromosome biology will be highlighted in this conference, which will bring together diverse scientists from across the country. The session topics include mitotic processes, meiosis, recombination, DNA replication, telomere structure and replication, chromosome structure, chromatin and nuclear organization, as well as kinetochore structure, spindle dynamics and cell cycle progression. The conference primarily highlights unpublished research findings and provides many experiences for young researchers to learn about the field and devise future goals for research on chromosome biology. The meeting will encourage career development of a new generation of researchers, including those who are underrepresented in science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
