Molecular evolution is a synthetic discipline that employs                 the tools of molecular biology to study patterns and processes of               genetic change in organisms.  This rapidly developing field                     ranges from the study of viral evolution to plant organellar                    evolution, human evolution, and the evolution of specific gene                  families (e.g., hemoglobins and immunoglobulins).  Many of these                research fields are advancing independently, and as a                           consequence, similar problems are sometimes solved independently.               The purpose of the UCLA-sponsored conference on Molecular                       Evolution is to evaluate past accomplishments and to stimulate                  coordinated research among molecular and organismal biologists.                      The program presents a unique opportunity for evolutionary                 biologists, with their expertise at the organismal level, and                   molecular biologists, with their knowledge of biochemical                       techniques, to interact in a setting that facilitates                           interdisciplinary exchange and stimulates new approaches to                     common problems.  The conference will also provide an opportunity               for discussion about how an understanding of principles of                      molecular evolution can be applied to global problems in health                 care, agriculture, and the environment.  Nearly 50 invited                      speakers will participate, along with other senior investigators                as well as more than 60 graduate students and postdoctoral                      researchers.
