Meeting Rationale. In October 2023, the international community of who use marine invertebrates as research models to address fundamental questions in developmental, cell, ecological, and evolutionary biology will meet for The Developmental Biology of the Sea Urchin and other Marine Invertebrates (DBSUMI). This will be the 27th forum for this meeting, which has been held approximately every 18 months since 1980. Throughout the years, these meetings featured topics relevant to a broad range of biologists working on subjects ranging from gamete interactions, egg activation, cell fate determination and patterning, axis specification, gene expression, genomics, morphogenesis, cell signaling, evolution, ecology, immunology, neurogenesis, regeneration and experimental technology. Importantly, advances in these fields apply not only to sea urchins but more broadly across biological systems. To facilitate these broad findings, the original “sea urchin community” has intentionally expanded the field by inviting researchers working on the cell and developmental biology of other marine invertebrate models including tunicates, hemichordates, cephalochordates, molluscs, polychaetes, cnidarians, ctenophores, and sponges. Each model has its own unique ability to answer fundamental questions that can solve questions related to human development, health and disease. The conceptual basis of comparative studies lies in their ability to identify commonalities of mechanisms and processes across multiple taxa, which in turn reveal unifying principles of biology. Famous examples for major discoveries arising from studies in marine organisms include our knowledge of cell divisions and cyclins, and the role of microtubule motor kinesins, and the development of GFP and other fluorescent proteins as widely-used tools in biomedical science. Thus, our goal is to establish DBSUMI as the “must attend” conference for labs using marine invertebrate model systems to answer a broad range of questions that are highly relevant to human development and health. One central focus of the program is to facilitate in-depth discussions among scientists. The combination of talks, discussion periods, and informal social gatherings allow the integration of findings from diverse systems. DBSUMI XXVII and its future iterations will be indispensable for the growth and vitality of this scientific community, as unique comparative approach across a wide range of marine invertebrate models is underrepresented at any cell, evolutionary and/or developmental biology meetings. To continue expanding and modernizing the meeting, the organizers are introducing new initiatives and seeking NIH meeting funding to support their implementation. Specific Objectives. We are inviting more PIs, post-docs, and graduate students from non-sea urchin labs to this meeting than in previous iterations. Many of these labs use aquatic models for human disease with NIH-funded research programs (e.g. within NIGMS, NIEHS, NINDS, and NICHD). To highlight the relevance of marine invertebrate research for understanding human disease mechanisms, we are continuing to hold a dedicated plenary session “Aquatic Models for Human Disease” in the DBSUMI XXVII meeting. Additionally, we will continue the highly successful pre-meeting workshops directed by experts on cutting-edge technologies that have be originally developed in other model systems and require tweaking to be applicable in marine invertebrates. These workshops are an essential aspect of the meeting because there is currently no other forum where labs primarily working on marine invertebrates can share their technical expertise. DBSUMI has consistently promoted the careers of junior scientists, but for the first time, we are scheduling “lightning talks”, as well as lunchtime career table themes. These events are designed to increase participation of junior scientists while at the same time encouraging network building with senior scientists. Finally, we are promoting a plenary session made up of speakers who are experts on ways to increase the diversity of URM and persons with disabilities. Past meetings have secured funding from the NSF, Society for Developmental Biology (SDB) and vendors to support primarily students and postdocs to attend. This year we are seeking funding from the NIH (NICHD, NIAID, NIEHS and ORIP) to defray the cost of initiatives designed specifically to foster a sense of community among trainees and make the meeting available to a wider community. We are requesting funds for 1) room and board for an extra night’s stay for 30 workshop participants, 2) event space rental for the workshops, 3) funding to support providing a virtual attendance option and 4) travel awards for students and postdocs.

满足理由。 2023年10月，使用海洋无脊椎动物的国际社会 作为解决发展，细胞，生态和生态和的基本问题的研究模型 进化生物学将符合海胆和其他海洋的发育生物学 无脊椎动物（dbsumi）。这将是本次会议的第27个论坛 自1980年以来大约每18个月一次。多年来，这些会议都有主题 与从配子相互作用，鸡蛋相互作用的广泛生物学家有关的广泛生物学家 激活，细胞脂肪测定和模式，轴规范，基因表达，基因组学，， 形态发生，细胞信号传导，进化，生态学，免疫学，神经发生，再生和 实验技术。 重要的是，这些领域的进步不仅适用于海胆，而且更广泛地适用 生物系统。为了促进这些广泛的发现，原始的“海胆社区”有 有意通过从事细胞和发育生物学的邀请研究人员来扩大该领域 其他海洋无脊椎动物模型，包括束缚物，半色调，头足体，软体动物， 多chaetes，cnidarians，cenophores和海绵。每个模型都有自己独特的回答能力 可以解决与人类发展，健康和疾病有关的问题的基本问题。这 比较研究的概念基础在于它们识别机制共同点的能力 以及多个分类单元的过程，这反过来揭示了统一的生物学原则。著名的 在海洋生物研究中引起的主要发现的例子包括我们对细胞的了解 分裂和细胞周期蛋白，以及微管运动动力蛋白的作用，以及GFP和GFP的发展 其他荧光蛋白是生物医学科学中广泛使用的工具。 这是我们的目标是建立DBSUMI作为实验室的“必须参加”会议 使用海洋无脊椎动物模型系统来回答广泛的问题 与人类发展和健康高度相关。该计划的一个核心重点是 促进科学家之间的深入讨论。会谈，讨论期和 非正式的社交聚会允许从潜水员系统中整合发现。 dbsumi xxvii和 它的未来迭代对于这个科学界的增长和活力是必不可少的，因为 各种海洋无脊椎动物模型的独特比较方法的代表性不足 任何细胞，进化和/或发育生物学会议。继续扩展和 会议现代化，组织者正在介绍新计划并寻求NIH会议 资金支持他们的实施。 特定目标。我们被邀请了更多来自非海胆的PI，DOC和研究生 这次会议的实验室比以前的迭代术。这些实验室中的许多人都使用水生模型作为人类 具有NIH资助的研究计划的疾病（例如在Nigms，Niehs，Ninds和Nichd中）。到 强调海洋无脊椎动物研究的相关性，以了解人类疾病机制， 我们将继续举办专门的全体会议“人类疾病的水生模型” dbsumi xxvii会议。此外，我们将继续会议前的前会议赛研讨会 由最初在其他模型中开发的尖端技术专家指导 系统，需要调整以适用于海洋无脊椎动物。这些讲习班是 会议的基本方面，因为目前没有其他论坛在实验室主要工作 关于海洋无脊椎动物可以分享其技术专长。 dbsumi一直晋升 初级科学家的职业，但我们第一次安排“闪电谈话”，以及 午餐时间职业餐桌主题。这些活动旨在增加初级科学家的参与 同时鼓励与高级科学家建立网络。最后，我们正在促进 全体会议由发言人组成，这些演讲者是提高URM多样性和 残疾人。 过去的会议已获得NSF，发育生物学协会（SDB）的资金 和供应商支持小学生和博士后参加。今年我们正在寻求资金 从NIH（NICHD，NIAID，NIEHS和ORIP）来支付专门设计的计划的成本 培养培训之间的社区感，并为更广泛的社区提供会议。 我们要求为1）房间和董事会提供资金，以供30个研讨会参与者额外住宿，2） 研讨会的活动空间租金，3）支持提供虚拟出勤选项的资金和 4）为学生和博士后提供旅行奖。
