This award supports a research workshop organized jointly by Marina Ramirez-Alvarado (Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN USA) and Alejandro Fernandez Velasco (Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Mexico City, Mexico). The main objectives of this symposium are: to provide a forum for a multidisciplinary discussion on protein folding, misfolding and design; to use this forum to introduce graduate students and young researchers to these research topics; to promote interactions between senior and young researchers in these fields from the two countries; and to identify potential collaborations among the participants. The workshop will be held at UNAM, Mexico City, March 18-21, 2011. The Mexican science agency CONACYT will support the Mexican participants.The workshop will include research presentations and workshop discussions on the following topics: theoretical models of protein folding, experimental advances in protein folding, molecular mechanisms of protein misfolding, and recent advances and limitations of protein design. Better understanding of protein folding and misfolding is crucial to the study of the physiological activity of proteins. This workshop will provide an opportunity for closer interactions among senior researchers from the US, including Latin American researchers that have established their academic careers in the US, and investigators from Latin America and Mexico. Collaborations arising from this meeting will help to consolidate research networks throughout the continent. Moreover, this award provides fellowships for US students to participate in this educational opportunity. The interactions between students and the more senior researchers will certainly be fruitful, and the experience will encourage students to continue graduate and postdoctoral studies in the field. In the selection of invited speakers, proper attention has been paid to the inclusion of women and minority faculty members. Similar efforts are being made in the selection of student participants.

该奖项支持由Marina Ramirez-Alvarado共同组织的研究研讨会（美国明尼苏达州罗切斯特的Mayo临床医学院）和Alejandro Fernandez Velasco（墨西哥城墨西哥城，墨西哥城），墨西哥城）。该研讨会的主要目标是：为蛋白质折叠，错误折叠和设计的多学科讨论提供论坛；使用这个论坛向研究生和年轻研究人员介绍这些研究主题；促进两国这些领域的高级研究人员和年轻研究人员之间的互动；并确定参与者之间的潜在合作。该研讨会将于2011年3月18日至21日在墨西哥城的UNAM举行。墨西哥科学局Conacyt将支持墨西哥参与者。该研讨会将包括有关以下主题的研究演示和研讨会讨论：蛋白质折叠的理论模型，实验性进步，蛋白质折叠的实验性进步，蛋白质折叠，蛋白质失误的分子机制和蛋白质的分子机制和限制性和限制。更好地了解蛋白质折叠和错误折叠对于研究蛋白质的体育活动至关重要。该研讨会将为美国的高级研究人员之间的紧密互动提供机会，包括在美国建立了学术职业的拉丁美洲研究人员以及来自拉丁美洲和墨西哥的研究人员。这次会议引起的合作将有助于整合整个继续进行研究网络。此外，该奖项为我们的学生提供了奖学金，可以参加这一教育机会。学生与更多的高级研究人员之间的互动肯定会富有成果，并且这种经验将鼓励学生继续在该领域毕业和博士后研究。在选择受邀演讲者时，他们对妇女和少数族裔教职员工的包括。选择学生参与者也做出了类似的努力。
