2017 Epigenetics Gordon Research Conference

项目摘要 该提案要求部分支持2017年表观遗传学戈登研究会议(GRC)， 题为《行动中的表观遗传学：从机制到生物影响》。这次会议始于1995年，已经 作为其领域的首屈一指的会议，赢得了国际声誉。表观遗传学GRC以 坚持报道未发表的令人兴奋的新消息的理念的科学演示文稿的质量 处于表观遗传学前沿的发现。这次会议对美国国立卫生研究院的任务至关重要，因为表观遗传学 了解在分化和分化过程中用于解码和调节基因组的机制 发展，是对人类发展和健康至关重要的进程。 2017年表观遗传学GRC的主要目标是建立一个丰富的科学计划，以捕获 表观遗传学的广度，通过将以下研究人员聚集在一起促进新的跨学科合作 可能不会正常互动，并通过整合以下举措促进年轻调查人员的职业生涯 戈登研究研讨会(GRS)的与会者，这是为研究生和 博士后研究员。表观遗传学GRC将包括所有职业水平的特邀演讲者，努力 确保发言者之间的多样性和平衡性。这一科学计划将反映支持女性的决心 代表不足的人群中的科学家和参与者，使用战略来建立强大的参与者池 它将用于选择演讲者。这些目标将共同提供一个极具活力的会议， 激励这一领域，激励新一代调查人员。

Project Summary This proposal requests partial support for the 2017 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Epigenetics, entitled Epigenetics in action: from mechanisms to biological impacts. This conference began in 1995 and has earned an international reputation as a premier meeting in its field. The Epigenetics GRC is known for the quality of scientific presentations that embrace the philosophy of reporting unpublished exciting new discoveries at the forefront of epigenetics. This conference is central to the NIH mission because epigenetics brings understanding to mechanisms used in decoding and regulating genomes during differentiation and development, processes critical for human development and health. The major goals of the 2017 Epigenetics GRC are to establish a rich scientific program that captures the breadth of epigenetics, foster new cross disciplinary collaborations by bringing together investigators who might not normally interact, and promote careers of young investigators through initiatives that integrate attendees of the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), a preconference held for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The Epigenetics GRC will include invited speakers at all career levels, with efforts to ensure diversity and balance among speakers. The scientific program will reflect resolve to support women scientists and participants in underrepresented populations, using strategies to build a strong participant pool that will be used to select speakers. Together, these aims will provide a highly dynamic conference that motivate the field and energize the new generation of investigators.
