DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested for partial support of the 2013 Gordon Research Conference on Developmental Biology. This five-day conference, which has been running since 1970, is recognized as the major and most prestigious mid-size meeting in Developmental Biology, bringing together ~150 outstanding senior and junior scientists for discussions of the recent advances in the field. The conference has several features that make it unique. It spans a wide variety of experimental systems and focuses on areas of exceptional activity or promise. This leads to fruitful comparative analyses and raises new questions about underlying mechanisms. 31 invited speakers, chosen based on their creative contributions to the field the field and their ability to promote fruitful discussions, have confirmed their attendance. None of the invited speakers spoke at the last conference in 2011. For the first time, the 2013 conference will take place at the Gordon Conference site in at Il Ciocco Tuscany Resort in Lucca (Barga) Italy, which will encourage an international exchange of ideas. The site is geographically isolated, which will keep participants in close proximity for five days of in-deph discussion, without distractions. The conference format will consist in the mornings and evenings of ~45 short talks followed by discussion and in the afternoon of informal interactions and presentation of ~90 posters. The nine sessions cover classic topics and emerging areas in the field: Organogenesis; Cellular Mechanisms of Early Development; Developmental Genetics; Regulatory Networks of Gene Expression during Development; Evolution of Morphological Diversity: Epithelial Patterning and Morphogenesis; Stem Cell Biology; Patterning and Cell Fate. Some of the session time has been kept uncommitted to choose speakers from abstracts submitted by the participants. By maximizing both formal discussion and informal interactions, the Gordon Conference on Developmental Biology will help to define both the present state and the future of the field.

描述（由申请人提供）：请求资金用于部分支持 2013 年戈登发育生物学研究会议。这个为期五天的会议自 1970 年开始举办，被认为是发育生物学领域最重要、最负盛名的中型会议，汇聚了约 150 名杰出的资深和初级科学家，讨论该领域的最新进展。这次会议有几个独特的特点。它涵盖了各种各样的实验系统，并专注于具有特殊活动或前景的领域。这导致了富有成效的比较分析，并提出了有关潜在机制的新问题。 31 名受邀演讲者已确认出席，他们是根据他们对该领域的创造性贡献以及促进富有成效的讨论的能力而选出的。受邀演讲者均未在 2011 年上一次会议上发言。2013 年会议将首次在意大利卢卡（巴尔加）Il Ciocco 托斯卡纳度假村的戈登会议场地举行，这将鼓励国际思想交流。该站点在地理位置上是孤立的，这将使参与者能够在为期五天的深入讨论中保持近距离，不受干扰。会议形式将包括上午和晚上的约 45 场简短演讲，随后进行讨论，以及下午的非正式互动和约 90 张海报的展示。九场会议涵盖了该领域的经典主题和新兴领域：器官发生；早期发育的细胞机制；发育遗传学；发育过程中基因表达的调控网络；形态多样性的进化：上皮模式和形态发生；干细胞生物学；图案化和细胞命运。部分会议时间并未承诺从与会者提交的摘要中选择演讲者。通过最大化正式讨论和非正式互动，戈登发育生物学会议将有助于定义该领域的现状和未来。
