Description: This award is for support of a US delegation to attend a U.S.-Pakistan Workshop and Symposium on Genomics and Computational Biology to be held in Lahore, Pakistan in October 16-19, 1997. Leading the US delegation are Dr. Lawrence Grossman, of Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. Richard Roberts, Director of Research, New England Biolabs in Beverly, MA. The Pakistani co-organizer is Dr. Sheikh Riazuddin, Director, the National Center of Excellence in Molecular Biology at the University of Punjab in Lahore. The symposium will be attended by scientists and graduate students from Pakistan and several neighboring countries. The topics will include: DNA sequencing efforts in C. elegans, rice, humans, H. influenza and other organisms. Separate sessions will be devoted to the computational analysis of sequence data, the identification of genes associated with major genetic diseases and/or traits of economic importance. The US participants will conduct separate visits to research facilities in this field in universities and government laboratories in the Lahore area. The workshop is intended to identify research areas of common interest and to assess the potential for joint research in this emerging field. Scope: The research projects that would be recommended in this meeting could be done successfully in Pakistan, since they do not entail expensive facilities, other than computational equipment, and since Pakistan could provide basic population biology information, and can also make intellectual contributions in the processing and interpretation of the data. The topic of the workshop is important to the United States and to Pakistan. The American P.I. and co-PI are eminent scientists. The Pakistani scientist was responsible for establishing the National Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology. His activities have strengthened collaborative research between American and Pakistani scientists, especially in areas where the Pakistani side complements the capability in the United States, such as by providing new enzymes, or by doing extensive data collections or experiments. Research in computational biology should be one additional area for beneficial complementary cooperation. It is planned to include at least one woman scientist, and one junior scientist within the US delegation. This proposal meets INT objective of increasing U.S.-foreign collaboration in areas that benefit both sides, and in enhancing junior scientists' international experience.

描述：该奖项是为了支持美国代表团参加将于 1997 年 10 月 16 日至 19 日在巴基斯坦拉合尔举行的美国-巴基斯坦基因组学和计算生物学研讨会和研讨会。率领美国代表团的是 Lawrence Grossman 博士、约翰·霍普金斯大学教授和马萨诸塞州贝弗利新英格兰生物实验室研究主任理查德·罗伯茨博士。 巴基斯坦联合主办方是拉合尔旁遮普大学分子生物学国家卓越中心主任 Sheikh Riazuddin 博士。 来自巴基斯坦和几个邻国的科学家和研究生将参加此次研讨会。 主题将包括：线虫、水稻、人类、流感嗜血杆菌和其他生物体的 DNA 测序工作。 单独的会议将致力于序列数据的计算分析、与主要遗传疾病和/或具有经济重要性的性状相关的基因的鉴定。 美国参与者将分别参观拉合尔地区大学和政府实验室的该领域研究设施。 该研讨会旨在确定共同感兴趣的研究领域，并评估这一新兴领域联合研究的潜力。 范围：本次会议建议的研究项目可以在巴基斯坦成功完成，因为除了计算设备外，它们不需要昂贵的设施，而且巴基斯坦可以提供基本的群体生物学信息，也可以在该领域做出智力贡献。数据的处理和解释。 研讨会的主题对美国和巴基斯坦都很重要。 美国私家侦探和共同PI都是杰出的科学家。 这位巴基斯坦科学家负责建立国家分子生物学卓越中心。 他的活动加强了美国和巴基斯坦科学家之间的合作研究，特别是在巴基斯坦方面补充美国能力的领域，例如提供新的酶，或进行广泛的数据收集或实验。 计算生物学研究应该是有益互补合作的另一个领域。 美国代表团计划包括至少一名女科学家和一名初级科学家。 该提案符合 INT 的目标，即在双方都受益的领域加强美外合作，并增强青年科学家的国际经验。
