Zebrafish Development and Genetics Conference

项目总结 我们提议举行一系列三次两年一度的会议，讨论利用 斑马鱼作为研究脊椎动物发育和疾病的模式生物。这些 将于2018年6月、2020年6月和2022年6月举行的会议将是第13、14和 在1994年发起并由这笔赠款支持的成功系列会议中的第15次会议 从2000年开始。本次会议的目标是促进尖端技术人员的交流 斑马鱼大横断面的一系列课题研究 研究社区。 斑马鱼发育和遗传学国际会议提供了一个 斑马鱼研究人员有机会分享他们的最新发现和新 技术。演讲者是从组织者提交的摘要中挑选出来的 和会议主席，以影响力和新颖性为基础，重点是 未发布的数据。因此，裁谈会历来有一把主要的“弹弓”。 影响领域，每两年开展一次新的研究和发现时代。 延续以往会议的传统，我们期望拟议的 会议将成功地创造机会，分享成果和 技术，打造协作，协调社区资源，并促进 初级调查人员和受训人员的曝光率和成功程度。 该会议历来吸引了男女斑马鱼研究人员参加 比例大致相等，在广泛的职业水平上具有很强的 学生、博士后、初级和高级教职员工的代表。这笔赠款 将支持2名受邀主旨发言人的登记和住宿，22 特邀会议主席和从摘要中选出的25名平台演讲者。这些 将根据影响和原创性选出25名财政支持获得者 他们的摘要以及基于性别、种族、职业阶段和需求。

PROJECT SUMMARY We propose a series of three biennial conferences discussing progress made using zebrafish as a model organism to study vertebrate development and disease. These conferences, to be held in June of 2018, 2020, and 2022, will be the 13th, 14th and 15th meetings in a successful series initiated in 1994 and supported by this grant since 2000. The goal of this meeting is to facilitate communication of cutting-edge research studies on an array of topics to a wide cross-section of the zebrafish research community. The International Conference on Zebrafish Development and Genetics provides an opportunity for zebrafish researchers to share their most recent discoveries and new technologies. Speakers are selected from the submitted abstracts by the organizers and session chairs, based on impact and novelty with a strong emphasis on unpublished data. Thus the Conference has historically had a major “slingshot” effect on the field, every two years launching a new era of research and discovery. Continuing in the tradition of previous conferences, we expect that the proposed conferences will succeed in creating opportunities for sharing results and technologies, forging collaborations, coordinating community resources, and fostering the exposure and success of junior investigators and trainees. The Conference has historically drawn zebrafish researchers of both genders in approximately equal proportions, at a wide range of career levels with strong representation of students, post-docs, and both junior and senior faculty. This grant will support the registration and accommodation of two invited keynote speakers, 22 invited session chairs, and 25 platform presenters selected from the abstracts. These 25 recipients of financial support will be chosen based on the impact and originality of their abstracts as well as on the basis of gender, race, career stage and need.
