本申请的目的是获得对1991年 糖蛋白和糖脂的冬季戈登研究会议。的 会议将重点讨论细胞生物学、生物化学 分子生物学和遗传学的研究 糖蛋白和糖脂中碳水化合物的生物学作用。 该会议应引起从事细胞免疫学研究的研究人员的兴趣。 和疾病的分子基础，包括癌症，神经紊乱， 关节炎、凝血、发育障碍、糖尿病、感染性 以及溶酶体贮积病和衰老。发言者和与会者将 从多个不同的学科中选取，以确保广泛覆盖 讨论有关的专题并交流意见和观点。许多 演讲者被国际公认为是 他们各自的研究领域。还注意包括 在发言者中，有相当多的人（大约一半） 没有在最近的糖蛋白戈登会议上发言 糖脂。几位演讲者正处于独立演讲的初始阶段。 但已经对该领域作出了重要贡献。关于 三分之一的演讲者将在1990年8月至12月间选出， 以确保该领域最近的重要事态发展得到充分 表示。希望发言者和代表团的广泛代表性 与会者将导致一个出色的会议。

The purpose of this application is to obtain partial support for the 1991 Winter Gordon Research Conference on Glycoproteins and Glycolipids. The Conference will emphasize recent advances in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics which are leading to a better understanding of the biological roles of carbohydrates in glycoproteins and glycolipids. The Conference should be of interest to researchers working on the cellular and molecular basis of diseases including cancer, neurological disorders, arthritis, blood clotting, developmental disorders, diabetes, infectious and lysosomal storage diseases and aging. Speakers and participants will be drawn from many different disciplines to ensure a broad coverage of the relevant topics and exchange of ideas and perspectives. Many of the speakers are internationally recognized as being the foremost experts in their respective areas of research. Care has also been taken to include among the speakers a significant number (approximately one half) who did not speak at the most recent Gordon Conference on Glycoproteins and Glycolipids. Several speakers are in their initial stages of an independent career but have already made important contributions to the field. About one-third of the speakers will be chosen between August and December 1990, to assure that recent important developments in the field are adequately represented. It is hoped that this broad representation of speakers and of participants will lead to an outstanding Conference.
