ORGANIZATION/WORKSHOP FOR MALTA CONF ON RESEARCH + EDUCATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 作为美国化学学会国际活动委员会主席，Costello教授担任了2005年11月在马耳他举行的第二届中东研究和教育会议的组织委员会成员。来自几乎所有中东国家的70多名与会者以及6名诺贝尔奖获得者参加了会议。得到了化学会、皇家化学会、德国化学会、国际理论和应用化学联合会以及若干基金会和私人捐助者的支助。该系列会议的第三次会议也由这些机构主办，于2007年12月在伊斯坦布尔举行。大多数中东国家也派代表出席了会议，五位诺贝尔奖获得者也积极参加了会议。Costello教授担任组委会成员，是药物化学研讨会的共同组织者，并介绍了BUSM的研究成果。2009年11月，下一次马耳他会议将在约旦安曼举行。Costello教授也是组织委员会成员，特别负责药物化学研讨会。七位诺贝尔奖获得者计划参加。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. In her role as Chair of the International Activities Committee of the American Chemical Society, Prof. Costello served on the organizing committee for the second Conference on Research and Education in the Middle East, held on Malta in November 2005. More than seventy participants from almost all the countries of the Middle East participated, as did six Nobel prize winners. Support was obtained from the ACS, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the German Chemical Society, IUPAC and several foundations and private donors. The third meeting in the series was also sponsored by these agencies and took place in Istanbul in December 2007. Once again, most of the countries of the Middle East were represented and five Nobel prize winners were active participants. Prof. Costello served on the organizing committee, was a co-organizer of the workshop on Medicinal Chemistry and presented research results from BUSM. In November 2009, the next Malta Conference will be held in Amman, Jordan. Again, Prof. Costello is serving on the Organizing Committee and has responsibilities related to the Medicinal Chemistry workshop, in particular. Seven Nobelists have plans to participate.
