This project will support attendance by postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at the International Conference on Ciliate Molecular Biology, to be held July 10-16, 2015 in Camerino, Italy. In keeping with a long-standing priority for this conference, participation by young researchers and under-represented minorities, including women, will be emphasized. The conference will offer opportunities for sharing latest research results in both formal and informal settings, and thus will provide an ideal environment for building scientific networks and collaboration.This biannual meeting is the major convocation of experimental biologists working with ciliated protozoa, and plays a critical role in sustaining the vitality of this important research community. The participants are members of an array of discipline-specific fields, including cell biology, molecular evolution, structural biology, cell signaling, and nucleic acid biochemistry. The objectives of this meeting are to (i) disseminate new research information and ideas, (ii) share technical innovations, (iii) organize further development of community resources, and (iv) enhance graduate and undergraduate research and education initiatives. This conference will contain workshops on Future Directions and Ciliates in the Classroom, several platform sessions on the new and exciting research areas in the field of Ciliate Molecular Biology, and two poster sessions. Of note will be a session on genome evolution and adaptation, which will emphasize the application of computational approaches to study gene and genome evolution. Other sessions will feature additional examples of the application of new technologies to unravel molecular and cellular details of this fascinating group of organisms.

该项目将支持博士后研究员和研究生参加将于 2015 年 7 月 10 日至 16 日在意大利卡梅里诺举行的国际纤毛虫分子生物学会议。为了与本次会议的长期优先事项保持一致，将强调年轻研究人员和包括妇女在内的代表性不足的少数群体的参与。 此次会议将为在正式和非正式场合分享最新研究成果提供机会，从而为建立科学网络和合作提供理想的环境。这次会议每两年一次，是从事纤毛原生动物研究的实验生物学家的一次重要聚会，发挥着至关重要的作用。在维持这个重要研究界的活力方面发挥着重要作用。参与者是一系列特定学科领域的成员，包括细胞生物学、分子进化、结构生物学、细胞信号传导和核酸生物化学。 这次会议的目标是（i）传播新的研究信息和想法，（ii）分享技术创新，（iii）组织社区资源的进一步开发，以及（iv）加强研究生和本科生的研究和教育举措。本次会议将包括关于未来方向和课堂纤毛虫的研讨会、关于纤毛虫分子生物学领域令人兴奋的新研究领域的几场平台会议以及两场海报会议。值得注意的是关于基因组进化和适应的会议，它将强调应用计算方法来研究基因和基因组进化。其他会议将提供更多应用新技术的例子，以揭示这一迷人生物体的分子和细胞细节。
