GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON BIOLOGICAL REGULATORY

戈登生物调控机制会议的独特之处在于 它汇集了一群对此感兴趣的有才华的科学家 在细胞功能调节机制的广泛问题中 不同的生物。这些科学家正在研究最前沿的 现代生物学中快速发展的领域。其中一个独特的，也是最 这次会议的重要方面是汇聚了 科学家在不同的生物体中研究类似的监管问题， 从噬菌体和细菌，到酵母和其他低等真核生物，再到高等 从苍蝇到人类的生物。 今年大会的议程将及时处理一些 引起广泛关注的生物调控现象的各个方面。 其中一节将强调蛋白质：蛋白质之间的相互作用 原核生物和真核生物的转录调控。两会 将强调促进和调节蛋白质的折叠和 多聚体结构的组装。监管在以下方面的重要性 发展将是三个会议的重点，这些会议涉及 图案的形成。细胞极性与基因组印迹。一次会议 关于信号转导的讨论将集中在信号转导机制上。 环境。另一次会议将重点讨论不同的机制， 光起到了调节信号的作用。 会议的形式将促进与会者之间的讨论。 上午的会议将有4-5名发言者，而晚上的会议将有 3-4个扬声器。在两天的下午举行了两次海报会议， 不仅将增加能够出席的参与者的数量 他们的工作，但也 允许传播最近获得的信息。这个 会议吸引了来自学术界、政府和工业界的科学家 来自美国和国外。我们请求提供部分支持以提供旅行 以及对无法获得资金的申请者的生活费。 因为戈登会议办公室只能提供有限数量的 支持，重要的是确保额外的资金，以维持 这次会议的质量很高。

The Gordon Conference on Biological Regulatory Mechanisms is unique in that it brings together a diverse group of talented scientists interested in broad questions of regulatory mechanisms of cellular functions in diverse organisms. These scientists are working at the cutting edge of fast moving fields in modem biology. One of the unique, and most important aspects of this conference, is the bringing together of scientists studying similar regulatory problems in diverse organisms, from phage and bacteria, to yeast and other lower eucaryotes, to higher organisms from flies to humans. The program of this year's conference will deal with a number of timely aspects of biological regulatory phenomena that are of broad interest. One session will emphasize protein:protein interactions in transcriptional regulation in procaryotes and eucaryotes. Two sessions will emphasize the facilitation and regulation of folding of proteins and assembly of multimeric structures. The importance of regulation during development will be the emphasis in 3 sessions, those concerned with pattern formation. cellular polarity and genomic imprinting. A session on signal transduction will focus on mechanisms of signalling changes in the environment. Another session will focus on the diverse mechanisms by which light acts a regulatory signal. The format of the conference will foster discussion among participants. Morning sessions will have 4-5 speakers while evening sessions will have 3-4 speakers. Two poster sessions held in the afternoons of two days, will not only increase the number of participants who are able to present their work, but also allow for the dissemination of very recently obtained information. The conference attracts scientists from academia, government, and industry from the U.S. and abroad. We request partial support to provide travel and subsistence monies for applicants who are unable to obtain funds. Because the Gordon Conference Office can only provide a limited amount of support, it is important to secure additional funding to maintain the high quality of this meeting.
