Conference: 1995 Programmed Cell Death Conference, to be held in Cold Spring Harbor on September 20-24, 1995

MCB 9505441 Terri Grodzicker 这个奖项的目的是赞助一个关于程序性细胞死亡的会议。 程序性细胞死亡（细胞凋亡）是一种遗传控制的细胞过程，其中细胞将自杀或将被另一个细胞杀死，以响应特定的生理信号。 在这一领域的兴趣在过去的两年中已经爆炸，在很大程度上是因为控制细胞凋亡的基因产物已被确定。 研究人员现在可以开始阐明参与细胞死亡过程的途径和机制。 会议的目的是汇集研究人员在细胞凋亡的各个方面的工作，并创造一个会议环境，适合信息和思想的交流，这将促进该领域的进步。 本次会议将通过汇集一组具有不同背景和方法的科学家来研究细胞死亡，从而交流有关程序性细胞死亡领域的信息和新见解。 预计该项目的支持将大大推进科学前沿。 ***

MCB 9505441 Terri Grodzicker The purpose of this award is to sponsor a conference on programmed cell death. Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is a genetically controlled cellular process wherein a cell will commit suicide or will be murdered by another cell in response to specific physiological signals. Interest in this field has exploded in the last two years in large part because gene products controlling apoptosis have been identified. Investigators can now begin to elucidate the pathways and mechanisms involved in the cell death process. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers working on diverse aspects of apoptosis, and to create a meeting environment suitable for the exchange of information and ideas which will foster advancement in the field. %%% This meeting will provide exchange of information and new insights with regard to the field of programmed cell death by bringing together a group of scientists with diverse backgrounds and approaches for the study of cell death. It is anticipated that the frontiers of science will be significantly advanced by support of this project. ***
