Project Summary/Abstract “The Virus Structure and Assembly Conference,” organized as part as the FASEB Science Research Conference series, has been running biennially since 1990 and has become the premier meeting for structural virology, attracting investigators at every career level from around the world. The conference covers studies of a broad range of bacterial and eukaryotic viruses, with a focus on virus structure and structure-based studies of macromolecular assembly pathways, mechanisms of virus entry, virus-host interactions, and viral replication. Related topics such as viral genomics and evolution, therapeutics, vaccines and nanotechnological applications are also covered. Since inception, The Virus Structure and Assembly Conference has seen tremendous advances in viral genomics, biophysics and single molecular approaches, and structural biology, especially cryo-electron microscopy. Today, these approaches allow detailed analysis of viral structure at the molecular and even atomic level. These basic scientific studies provide a firm footing on which viral diseases and host defenses can be understood, complement in vivo studies, and promote the development of novel therapeutics. The Virus Structure and Assembly Conference is unique for its broad focus on virus systems and experimental methodologies, which encourages inter-disciplinary approaches, stimulates collaborations and supports the rapid transfer of technology to studies of different viruses. Our scientific program includes top investigators in all areas of structural virology from around the world, 35% of whom are new to the conference. As well as presentations of cutting-edge results, the meeting allows ample opportunity for scientific discussions with speakers and among participants, encouraging the flow of new ideas and new collaborations. An important focus is on encouraging young scientists, students and postdocs to develop their scientific careers through advice and contacts. In 2020 we will have daily “Meet the Expert” sessions, two “flash talk” sessions in which poster presenters give brief 5 minute introductions to their posters, and some posters will be selected for 15 minute platform talks. We also plan a career development workshop emphasizing non-academic careers, and a “power hour” focused on women and underrepresented groups in science. We believe that with our exciting program, the 2020 Virus Structure and Assembly Conference will be another top-quality meeting in this series.

项目摘要/摘要 “病毒结构和集会会议”，作为Faseb科学研究的一部分组织 会议系列自1990年以来一直在两年期举行，并已成为结构的主要会议 病毒学，吸引了世界各地的每个职业级别的调查员。 广泛的细菌和真核病毒，重点是基于病毒结构的研究 大分子组装途径，病毒进入机制，病毒宿主相互作用和病毒 复制。 申请也被涵盖。 病毒基因组学，生物物理学和单分子方法以及结构生物学的巨大进步， 特别是冷冻电子显微镜。 分子甚至原子水平。 可以理解宿主的防御，体内研究并促进新颖的发展 疗法。 病毒结构和装配会议是独特的，涉及病毒系统和 鼓励跨学科方法的实验方法刺激合作和 支持技术的快速转移到不同病毒的研究。 来自世界各地的所有结构病毒学领域的调查人员，占会议新的35％。 除了尖端结果的演讲外，会议还为科学讨论提供了足够的机会 在演讲者和参与者中，鼓励新想法和新合作。 重要的重点是鼓励年轻的科学家，学生和博士后发展其科学职业 通过建议和联系。 哪些海报主持人对海报进行了简短的5分钟介绍 15分钟的平台会谈。 以及一个“力量时刻”，重点是女性和代表性不足的科学群体。 我们相信，通过我们令人兴奋的计划，2020年的病毒结构和装配会议将是 本系列中的另一个顶级会议。
