FASEB Conference: Nutrition and Molecular Regulation

描述（由申请人提供） 本申请是为2001年FASEB夏季会议提供部分资金， “饮食成分调节的分子机制。“会议 将于2001年8月18日至23日在萨克顿河的佛蒙特学院举行， 佛蒙特州会议的目的是使科学家们聚集在一起 对营养和非营养物质对细胞生物学的调节感兴趣 饮食中发现的被认为影响人类健康的因素。我们希望 利用这次会议来弥合知识和内容的差距，在一个共同的 多学科领域，如营养科学。我们也希望提供一个 为年轻研究人员和营养提供最佳的学习环境 科学家们希望将分子工具引入他们的研究。将有9 主要的口头会议（四个45分钟的演讲）。会议将开始， 该领域领导人的全体演讲。海报介绍将 安排在两个下午。 最初的会议是围绕分子的中心主题组织的 调控：转录激活，转录抑制， 核受体的转录调控和转录后调控 （2届会议）。其余的会议致力于“热门话题”：分子 植物化学物质、转基因模型和功能基因组学（例如， 表达谱分析和基因-饮食相互作用）。每次会议将包括 通过大量和微量营养素进行营养控制的例子。 这次会议将是1994年以来关于这一主题的第一次重大会议。 因此，我们的会议将填补该领域的空白， 处理与下列方面有关的问题的共同概念和方法 营养和健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This application is for partial funding for the 2001 FASEB Summer Conference on "Molecular Mechanisms of Regulation by Dietary Constituents." The conference will be held from August 18-23, 2001 at the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont. The purpose of the conference is to bring together scientists interested in the regulation of cell biology by nutrient and non-nutrient factors found in diets that are thought to influence human health. We hope to use this conference to bridge the intellectual and content gaps common in a multi-disciplinary field such as nutrition science. We also hope to provide an optimal learning environment for young investigators and for nutrition scientists looking to bring molecular tools to their research. There will be 9 major oral sessions (four 45-minute talks each). The conference will begin with a plenary lecture by a leader in the field. Poster presentations will be scheduled for two afternoons. The initial sessions are organized around the central themes of molecular regulation: transcriptional activation, transcriptional repression, transcriptional control by nuclear receptors, and posttranscriptional control (2 sessions). The remaining sessions are dedicated to "hot topics": molecular regulation by phytochemicals, transgenic models, and functional genomics (e.g. expression profiling, and gene-diet interactions). Each session will include examples of nutrient control by both macro and micronutrients. The conference will be the first major conference on this subject since 1994. As such, our conference will fill a void in the field by unifying people with common conceptual and methodological approaches to problems related to nutrition and health.
