This award will support the 20th International Meeting for the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas, to be held June 4-9, 2023 at Princeton University, NJ. Chlamydomonas is a fascinating single-celled swimming photosynthetic organism that has been used to understand photosynthesis as well as the formation and behavior of cilia, key structures that regulate interactions with the environment in cells of all larger species, including humans. Recent advances in the field, including new technological capabilities, will be highlighted in this meeting. The meeting will bring together seasoned investigators with early-career scientists in both formal talks and discussion sessions to encourage informal discussion and sharing of latest research results on the formation of structures in the cell, swimming behavior, and regulation of photosynthesis during daily changes in light levels.This meeting will be attended by undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as senior researchers to discuss our understanding of all aspects of the biology of the photosynthetic single-celled green alga Chlamydomonas, which has long been used as a model for understanding photosynthesis and structure of cilia. Talks will be presented on topics such as cilia and basal bodies, organelle biogenesis, cell cycle and circadian rhythms, environmental responses, and newly available methods for studying these organisms. In addition to formal talks, engagement will be facilitated by two poster sessions to stimulate interactions between researchers. NSF support will be used to defray travel costs to allow attendance of participants from early stages of their careers, especially for members of groups underrepresented in this field.This award is funded by the Cellular Dynamics and Function Cluster of the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences in the Directorate for Biological Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持将于 2023 年 6 月 4 日至 9 日在新泽西州普林斯顿大学举行的第 20 届衣藻细胞和分子生物学国际会议。 衣藻是一种令人着迷的单细胞游动光合生物，已被用来了解光合作用以及纤毛的形成和行为，纤毛是调节包括人类在内的所有较大物种细胞与环境相互作用的关键结构。 本次会议将重点介绍该领域的最新进展，包括新技术能力。会议将汇集经验丰富的研究人员和处于职业生涯早期的科学家进行正式会谈和讨论，以鼓励非正式讨论和分享有关细胞结构形成、游泳行为以及日常光照变化期间光合作用调节的最新研究成果本次会议将由本科生、研究生、博士后以及资深研究人员参加，讨论我们对光合单细胞绿藻衣藻生物学各个方面的理解，衣藻长期以来一直被用作光合绿藻衣藻的模型。了解光合作用和纤毛的结构。 演讲主题包括纤毛和基体、细胞器生物发生、细胞周期和昼夜节律、环境反应以及研究这些生物体的新方法。 除了正式会谈之外，还将通过两次海报会议促进参与，以刺激研究人员之间的互动。 NSF 的支持将用于支付差旅费用，以允许参与者从职业生涯的早期阶段就参加，特别是对于该领域代表性不足的群体的成员。该奖项由分子和细胞生物科学部的细胞动力学和功能集群资助该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
