项目摘要

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Visual System Development is a biennial meeting that brings together investigators studying the development, disease, and evolution of the visual system. Over the years, this meeting has provided an exciting and unique forum in which to explore the similarities-and differences- underlying visual system development and function across a range of species. The goal of this GRC is to foster an appreciation of common principles that mediate the construction and function of the visual system in diverse organisms and to share the latest exciting new ideas and concepts. By including sessions that highlight emerging topics with translational impact, such as "Stem Cells and Progenitors" and "Retinal Development and Disease", the meeting will also expand its scope and stimulate cross talk between developmental biologists and investigators focused on translational aspects of vision science. The format of the GRC meetings provides a highly interactive and stimulating venue for cross-fertilization of ideas and for developing new collaborations. The GRC meetings are forums for high-caliber scientists to present unpublished work and engage in intense discussion of ideas and findings at the forefront of science. The Visual System Development GRC has established a reputation as the leading conference in its field. The scientists who share a common interest in the development of the visual system, but who work on diverse model systems from flies to mammals, have few other opportunities to interact scientifically in such a focused setting. The current proposal requests funds to help defray conference fees for attendees. The program of the Visual System Development GRC will feature scientists at the cutting edge of the field, with careful attention to gender and ethnic diversity and to the inclusion of scientists at various stages of their careers.

戈登视觉系统发展研究会议 (GRC) 是每两年一次的会议，汇集了研究视觉系统的发展、疾病和进化的研究人员。多年来，这次会议提供了一个令人兴奋且独特的论坛，探讨一系列物种的视觉系统发育和功能的相似性和差异。 GRC 的目标是促进对调节不同生物体视觉系统的构建和功能的共同原则的理解，并分享最新的令人兴奋的新想法和概念。通过包括突出具有转化影响的新兴主题的会议，例如“干细胞和祖细胞”和“视网膜发育和疾病”，会议还将扩大其范围并刺激发育生物学家和专注于视觉科学转化方面的研究人员之间的交流。 GRC 会议的形式为思想的交叉交流和发展新的合作提供了一个高度互动和刺激的场所。 GRC 会议是高水平科学家展示未发表的工作并就科学前沿的想法和发现进行激烈讨论的论坛。视觉系统开发 GRC 已成为该领域领先会议的声誉。科学家们对视觉系统的发展有着共同的兴趣，但他们研究从苍蝇到哺乳动物的不同模型系统，几乎没有其他机会在如此集中的环境中进行科学互动。当前的提案要求提供资金来帮助支付与会者的会议费用。视觉系统开发 GRC 的项目将以处于该领域前沿的科学家为特色，特别关注性别和种族多样性，并包容处于职业生涯各个阶段的科学家。
