The 1999 Gordon Research Conference on Lipid Metabolism will be held June 27 to July 2 at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, NH. This conference has been held in odd years for over 40 years and is recognized internationally as the most prestigious forum for the presentation of the latest and most significant research in the area of lipid biochemistry and molecular biology. The 1999 conference will continue this tradition of emphasis on the enzymology, biochemistry, and cell biology of lipid metabolism with the additional inclusion of emerging information on the role of lipids in cell function and the structure of proteins that interact with lipids. The Conference will be named Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids to reflect the broad spectrum of lipid importance in biology. Nine lecture sessions are planned, five in the evening and four in the morning, which will be supplemented by two afternoon poster sessions in which all participants will be encouraged to present their latest findings. The lecture sessions will cover the following topics presented by either four or five speakers in each session: Biochemistry and Genetics of Lipid A; Lipid Signaling; Lipid Transport and Membrane Translocation; Vesicle Trafficking and Phospholipid Transfer Proteins; Genetics and Biochemistry of Sterol Metabolism; Genetics and Biochemistry of Lipid Metabolism (Somatic Cells); Genetics and Biochemistry of Lipid Metabolism (Yeast); Function of Lipids in Cellular Processes; Hot Topic (unassigned). The methodology utilized by the list of speakers covers a broad spectrum of approaches including somatic cell and whole animal genetics, microbial genetics, crystallography, enzymology, molecular biological manipulation of genomes, fluorescence microscopy, etc. The above breadth of topics and the diversity of techniques employed will attract a diverse group of scientists with a common interest in lipids and lipid metabolism. Participants and speakers will be selected to reflect international excellence in this area of research with an appropriate balance ensuring representation of young scientists, women, and monorities. Proper facilities are available to accommodate handicapped individuals who will also be considered equally in selection of attendees and speakers. The meeting should stimulate the application of the latest emergent technology to the frontiers of our understanding in the most important areas of lipid function and lipid metabolism.

1999年戈登脂质代谢研究会议将于6月27日至7月2日在新罕布什尔州梅里登的金博尔联合学院举行。该会议在奇数年举行超过40年，是国际公认的最负盛名的论坛，介绍脂质生物化学和分子生物学领域最新和最重要的研究。1999年的会议将继续强调脂质代谢的酶学、生物化学和细胞生物学的传统，并增加关于脂质在细胞功能中的作用和与脂质相互作用的蛋白质结构的新信息。会议将命名为脂质分子和细胞生物学，以反映脂质在生物学中的广泛重要性。计划有九场讲座，五场在晚上，四场在早上，下午还有两场海报会议，鼓励所有参与者展示他们的最新发现。讲座内容包括：脂质A的生物化学和遗传学；脂质信号;脂质转运和膜易位；囊泡转运与磷脂转移蛋白的研究甾醇代谢的遗传与生物化学研究脂质代谢（体细胞）的遗传与生物化学研究酵母脂质代谢的遗传与生物化学研究脂质在细胞过程中的作用热门话题（未分配）。演讲者使用的方法涵盖了广泛的方法，包括体细胞和全动物遗传学，微生物遗传学，晶体学，酶学，基因组的分子生物学操作，荧光显微镜等。上述主题的广度和所采用技术的多样性将吸引对脂质和脂质代谢有共同兴趣的不同科学家群体。参与者和演讲者的选择将反映这一研究领域的国际卓越水平，并适当平衡，确保青年科学家、妇女和少数民族的代表性。为残疾人提供适当的设施，残疾人在选择与会者和演讲者时也将得到平等的考虑。会议应该刺激最新的新兴技术应用到我们对脂质功能和脂质代谢最重要领域的理解的前沿。
