9410851 Grossman Description: This project is to support participation of twelve U.S. scientists in a regional symposium and workshop on applications of molecular biological research in agriculture, health, and the environment, to be held in Lahore, Pakistan, in March 1995. The symposium-workshop will be preceded by a two week training course for sixteen young researchers in relevant molecular biological techniques, and other methodologies and concepts. This will help them participate in the discussions of the symposium workshop sessions. The basic science sessions will include: recombination and restriction modification, molecular basis of genetic transformation in bacteria, repair of UV irradiated DNA in procaryotes, characterization of UV repair genes in M. Luteus. Applications sessions will include: plant molecular biology (crop improvement strategies, transformation of certain crops, control of plant insects losses) and human genome, and challenges of therapeutics and diagnostics. Scope: This project involves some of the most well known leaders in molecular biology in the U.S. and Europe in an undertaking to enhance this very important field in one of the world's most heavily populated regions. Participants will include some hundred scientists from Pakistan, and from neighboring countries. The initial two week training, followed by the one week symposium workshop provide for the exchange of information, based on solid foundation of understanding of the subject matter. Past meetings have led to research collaboration between the U.S. and foreign participants. The topics of this meeting are quite relevant to the needs and to the capabilities of the participating south Asian countries, and are also important to the United States. The project fits well with the INT objectives. ***

9410851 Grossman 描述：该项目旨在支持 12 名美国科学家参加将于 1995 年 3 月在巴基斯坦拉合尔举行的关于分子生物学研究在农业、健康和环境中的应用的区域研讨会和讲习班。在讲习班之前，将为 16 名年轻研究人员举办为期两周的相关分子生物学技术以及其他方法和概念的培训课程。 这将帮助他们参与研讨会的讨论。 基础科学课程将包括：重组和限制性修饰、细菌遗传转化的分子基础、原核生物中紫外线照射的 DNA 的修复、M. Luteus 中紫外线修复基因的表征。 应用会议将包括：植物分子生物学（作物改良策略、某些作物的转化、植物昆虫损失的控制）和人类基因组，以及治疗和诊断的挑战。 范围：该项目涉及美国和欧洲分子生物学领域一些最著名的领导者，致力于在世界上人口最稠密的地区之一加强这一非常重要的领域。参与者将包括来自巴基斯坦和邻国的数百名科学家。 最初为期两周的培训，随后是为期一周的研讨会，在对主题的理解的坚实基础上提供信息交流。 过去的会议促成了美国和外国参与者之间的研究合作。 这次会议的议题与南亚参会国家的需求和能力密切相关，对美国也很重要。 该项目非常符合 INT 的目标。 ***
