1999 GORDON CONFERENCE ON 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。该会议已在奇数年举行了40多年，被国际公认为是脂质生物化学和分子生物学领域最新和最重要研究的最负盛名的论坛。 1999年的会议将继续这一传统的重点是酶学，生物化学和细胞生物学的脂质代谢与额外的列入新出现的信息的作用，脂质在细胞功能和蛋白质的结构，与脂质相互作用。 会议将被命名为脂质的分子和细胞生物学，以反映生物学中脂质的广泛重要性。 计划举办九次讲座，晚上五次，上午四次，下午两次海报会议将作为补充，鼓励所有参与者介绍他们的最新发现。讲座将涵盖以下主题，每节由四到五位演讲者主讲：脂质A的生物化学和遗传学;脂质信号传导;脂质转运和膜转位;囊泡运输和磷脂转运蛋白;固醇代谢的遗传学和生物化学;脂质代谢的遗传学和生物化学（体细胞）;脂质代谢的遗传学和生物化学（酵母）;脂质在细胞过程中的功能;热门话题（未分配）。 发言者名单所使用的方法涵盖了广泛的方法，包括体细胞和整个动物遗传学，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的技术的多样性将吸引不同的科学家群体，他们对脂质和脂质代谢有共同的兴趣。 与会者和发言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。 提供适当的设施，以容纳残疾人谁也将被平等地考虑在选择与会者和发言者。 这次会议应促进最新的新兴技术的应用，我们的理解在脂质功能和脂质代谢的最重要领域的前沿。

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.
