ASPEN BILE ACID/CHOLESTEROL/LIPOPROTEIN CONFERENCE

描述(研究人员摘要)：Aspen胆固醇会议是 一个已经发展成为正式研讨会的研讨会，现在吸引了 相当多的关注。它的意图是，并正在变得广为人知 作为那些在田野中工作的人互动的绝佳机会 研究领域包括脂肪代谢、胃肠病、血液学和动脉粥样硬化。它 毕竟，是胃肠道和合成代谢的作用 和肝脏的分解代谢功能，决定了 在动脉粥样硬化形成中非常重要的脂蛋白。 这次研讨会的一个主要目标是为年轻的研究人员提供 有机会参加一次杰出的科学家 在愉快的环境中介绍和讨论他们的工作。该公司董事会 Aspen Conference的顾问致力于选择40%的 参与者来自年轻的调查人员队伍，包括 高级博士后研究员和初级助理教授。这些是 有前途的年轻科学家，他们参加 戈登关于脂代谢或动脉粥样硬化的会议(仅举行 每隔一年)。因此，本次会议起到了其他重要作用。 而不是选择一个及时和刺激的话题。在瞄准特定的 一群年轻的调查人员，它为有前途的年轻人提供了一个机会 科学家们将在一个舒适、轻松和非正式的环境中互动 一种年轻人不会有的时尚 参与者。研讨会的规模，因为它被限制在100多一点 参与者，促进了这种互动。

DESCRIPTION (Investigator's Abstract): The Aspen Cholesterol Conference is a symposium that has developed into a formal symposium that now attracts considerable attention. It is intended to be, and is becoming widely known as a prime opportunity for the interaction of those working in the fields of lipid metabolism, gastroenterology, hematology, and atherosclerosis. It is, after all, the action of the gastrointestinal tract and the anabolic and catabolic functions of the liver that determine the level of the lipoproteins that are so important in atherogenesis. A major objective of this symposium is to provide young investigators with the opportunity to participate in a meeting where outstanding scientists present and discuss their work in pleasant surroundings. The Board of Advisors of the Aspen Conference is committed to selecting 40 percent of the participants from among the ranks of young investigators, including advanced postdoctoral fellows and junior assistant professors. These are promising young scientists who have limited opportunity to attend the Gordon Conference on Lipid Metabolism or that on Atherosclerosis (held only every other year). Thus, this meeting serves an important function other than selecting a timely and stimulating topic. In targeting a specific group of young investigators, it provides a chance for promising junior scientists to interact in a congenial, relaxed and informal environment in a fashion that would not otherwise be available to the younger participants. The size of the symposium, limited as it is to just over 100 participants, facilitates this interaction.
