[Hideya Fukuzawa]

Dear colleague,

The registration and accommodation for the 17th International Congress
on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas (Chlamy2016) in Kyoto
JAPAN, Jun 26 - July 1, 2016, is open at the following website.

http://www.molecule.lif.kyoto-u.ac.jp/chlamy2016/

This conference covers research topics related with the following
categories;
- Flagella assembly, structure, transport, motility, Basal bodies,
Transition zones,
- Photosynthesis, Photosystems, Electron transfer, Carbon acquisition,
- Light perception and responses, Chloroplast, Mitochondria, Golgi,
- Stress sensing, Acclimation, Cell signaling
- Sexual reproduction, Circadian rhythm, Cell cycle, Development,
- Algal biotechnology, Biofuel, Metabolism,
- Emerging technology, Genome editing
- Evolution, Chlamydomonadales / Volvocales,
- Omics and System biology.

The conference will begin on Sunday evening, June 26 with Keynote
Addresses by Dr. Michel Goldschmidt-Clermont (Univ. of Geneva,
Switzerland) and George Witman (Univ. of Massachusetts Medical School,
USA) from 18:00 followed by a Welcome Reception and end on Friday, June 1.
This meeting brings together investigators and students from
different fields, disciplines and geographic locations to discuss new
approaches to major scientific problems. Do not miss this meeting where
you can build relationships that are key to future collaborations. The
sessions will be organized to maximize opportunities for
interdisciplinary group discussion and will be complemented by poster
sessions for detailed presentation of experimental work. Oral
presentations will be selected on the basis of their contributions to
the session topics and preference will be given to young researchers,
for whom we believe this experience will be of special career
significance. Workshop, one of the sessions, allows the exchange of
information about techniques and resources of importance to the
Chlamydomonas community. Invited lectures highlight topics of broad
interest.

Please pay attention to the deadlines and also to the fact that speakers
will be selected based on the submitted abstracts for the twelve general
sessions.

Looking forward to see you and enjoy scientific communication in Kyoto!
