迈阿密冬季研讨会以一个不起眼的方式始自1968年。2011年是本研讨会系列中的第44届。 研讨会由迈阿密大学生物化学系（现在的生化分子生物学系）的比尔.威兰创立的。本意是作为生化系教授研究生和国内外知名科学家交流的一个平台。这些科学家一般是被我们用（迷人的）迈阿密的冬天“蒙”到迈阿密呆几天！ 自1977年起，会议重点一直集中在基因技术；很多二战后的从事基因技术的诺贝尔化学、生理学、或医学奖的得主都曾经作为发言者。1997年起，（迈阿密大学）米勒医学院的席尔威斯特尔综合癌症中心也加入到会议组织者行列。2006年，佛罗里达斯科瑞普斯研究所也作为合作者加入。 自1988年起，《自然》出版集团通过旗下的《自然生物技术》（原《生物技术》）开始参与研讨会的组织管理。在过去五年里《自然医学》也一直参加组织工作。根据研讨会话题的不同，其他自然子刊杂志也定期地为会议提供帮助。2011年，《自然遗传学》和《自然细胞生物学》参加了本次会议的组织工作。 另：参加组织这个研讨会对博主唯一的好处是有很多机会和自然子刊的编辑们接触，稿子不至于不送审就枪毙，可惜的是博主很难象饶毅教授那样做出那种水平的工作。 英文原文： The Miami Winter Symposia began in a small way in 1968. The 2011 event is the 44th in this annual series. The Symposia were created by Bill Whelan at the University of Miami's Department of Biochemistry (now, and Molecular Biology) of the Miller School of Medicine as a resource for its faculty and graduate students, who were thereby enabled to meet in person the nationally and internationally prominent scientists who were persuaded to share the plight of spending a few days in Miami in the winter! Since 1977, the meetings have focused on gene technology; many of the post-World War II Nobel prize winners in Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine who practiced gene technology have been speakers. Since 1997, the Miller School of Medicine's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center has also been involved in planning of the meeting, and in 2006, Scripps Florida officially joined as a partner. Nature Publishing Group has been involved with the symposia since 1988 through Nature Biotechnology (formerly Biotechnology ) and in the past five years through the additional involvement of Nature Medicine . Other Nature research journals also regularly contribute expertise to the meeting, depending on the symposium's theme; for 2011, Nature Genetics and Nature Cell Biology have participated in developing the program. 这个研讨会的一大看点是预测诺贝尔奖水平相当可以。一般得本次研讨会奖的主儿，将来很可能得诺奖。 链接： 研讨会
