The FASEB Summer Research Conference on "Trace Element Metabolism: From Model Organisms to Humans" will be held at Snowmass, Colorado June 15-20, 2008. Trace elements are essential nutrients and, as such, are of vital importance in medicine, agriculture and the inter-relationship between agriculture and human health. This conference will focus on topics covering the most exciting and important breakthroughs in understanding both basic and applied aspects of trace element metabolism. In this meeting, the focus will be on the trace elements iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and boron (B), as they constitute a group of trace elements that serve critical roles in biology. As is evidenced by the dramatic increase in the number of newly discovered biological processes in which trace elements play pivotal roles as catalysts, sensors, regulatory molecules and structural co-factors, this field of investigation is expanding at an extremely rapid pace. The specific objectives are to (1) organize and support a meeting on the latest scientific advances in the research area of trace element metabolism (2) promote interactions between scientists and trainees to share new discoveries in the field of trace element metabolism as it relates to normal growth, development and nutrition and to enhance training and new collaborations that will move the field forward and (3) to directly involve newly independent scientists and trainees including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, women, minorities and the disabled in the conference. The broader impacts of the conference include providing access to cutting edge science via oral and poster presentations, to allow opportunities for interactions between trainees and established investigators and to encourage and support long-term and significant advances in this important area of research.

关于“微量元素代谢：从模式生物到人类”的FASB夏季研究会议将于2008年6月15-20日在科罗拉多州的斯诺马斯举行。微量元素是必不可少的营养素，因此在医学、农业以及农业与人类健康之间的相互关系中具有至关重要的作用。本次会议将集中讨论在理解微量元素新陈代谢的基本和应用方面最令人兴奋和最重要的突破。在这次会议上，重点将放在微量元素铁(Fe)、铜(铜)、锌(锌)、硒(Se)和硼(B)上，因为它们构成了一组在生物学中起关键作用的微量元素。随着新发现的生物过程数量的急剧增加，这一研究领域正在以极快的速度扩展，其中微量元素在其中起着关键作用，如催化剂、传感器、调节分子和结构辅助因子。具体目标是(1)组织和支持一次关于微量元素代谢研究领域最新科学进展的会议(2)促进科学家和受训人员之间的互动，分享与正常生长、发育和营养有关的微量元素代谢领域的新发现，并加强培训和新的合作，以推动该领域的发展，以及(3)让新的独立科学家和受训人员直接参加会议，包括研究生和博士后研究员、妇女、少数群体和残疾人。会议的更广泛影响包括通过口头和海报演示提供接触尖端科学的机会，为受训人员和知名研究人员之间的互动提供机会，并鼓励和支持在这一重要研究领域取得长期和重大进展。
