U.S. Chile International Workshop on Iron and Copper Homeostasis; Pucon, Chile, November 10-14, 2001

[01:12251] garrick这个美洲项目奖将支持在智利普孔举行的“第二届国际铁和铜稳态研讨会”。本次研讨会由纽约州立大学的Michael D. Garrick博士与智利大学的Marco T. Nunez博士合作组织，目的是加强在铁和铜代谢研究方面的国际科学合作，并激发青年科学家和学生对与了解毒理学、健康和疾病状态高度相关的领域的兴趣。铁和铜的代谢密切相关：全身性缺铜导致细胞缺铁，从而导致人类工作能力下降、智力下降、生长迟缓、骨矿化改变、免疫反应减弱和其他症状。本次研讨会将努力提供对铁和铜代谢的更好理解，特别是它们之间的相互作用。本次研讨会将召集来自北美、南美、欧洲、以色列和日本的铁和铜代谢领域的顶尖科学家，交流知识，并建立未来的合作研究途径

Garrick of SUNY in collaboration with Dr. Marco T. Nunez of the University of Chile, the objective of this workshop is to strengthen international scientific collaboration in research on iron and copper metabolism, and to stimulate the interest of young scientists and students in an area highly relevant to the understanding of toxicology, health and disease states. Iron and copper metabolisms are intimately intertwined: systemic copper deficiency generates cellular iron deficiency, which in humans results in diminished work capacity, reduced intellectual capacity, diminished growth, alterations in bone mineralization, diminished immune response and other symptoms. This workshop will try to provide a better understanding of iron and copper metabolisms and particularly of their interactions.This proposed workshop will convene leading scientists in the fields of iron and copper metabolism from North America, South America, Europe, Israel and Japan, to exchange knowledge, and to establish future avenues of collaborative research.***
