A basic knowledge of cell biology is a requisite for understanding the defects in cell function that cause human diseases, including many cancers, muscular dystrophy, neurodegenerative disorders, blistering skin diseases, and cardiovascular disease. In recent years, cell biologists have played an increasing role in elucidating the mechanisms underlying genetic disorders, and understanding the biology of eukaryotic cells now becomes key in the quest to develop new and improved methods for the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of human disease. The 2001 Gordon Conference on Molecular Cell Biology focuses on recent developments in cell biology that were instrumental in determining genetic bases of diseases and now provide insights into methods for diagnosis and prevention of disease. The key features of this meeting are its diversity and scientific excellence. Emphasis is on cutting-edge science leading to new scientific principles and novel approaches to cell biology. A wide range of topics is represented, including cell cycle, cell polarity and movement, cell adhesion, genetic diseases, cell biology and disease. The organizers are Peter Walter and Ira Herskowitz (both at University of California, San Francisco). The meeting will bring together and foster discussion among world- renowned cell biologists. Participants will present their most recent and exciting results involving a number of model systems and using a variety of novel technical approaches. Nine sessions, each involving four major talks, are planned. Time will be reserved at the end of each session for short oral presentations on breaking developments. Thirty-five speakers, all leaders in their fields, have agreed to attend; approximately 30% of these are women. One more person will be invited. Daily poster sessions will enable all participants to present and discuss their most recent results. There will be abundant opportunities for informal discussion among speakers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. This grant requests partial support for this exciting meeting.

细胞生物学的基本知识是理解导致人类疾病的细胞功能缺陷的必要条件，这些疾病包括许多癌症，肌肉萎缩症，神经退行性疾病，起泡性皮肤病和心血管疾病。近年来，细胞生物学家在阐明遗传疾病的潜在机制方面发挥了越来越大的作用，了解真核细胞的生物学现在成为寻求开发新的和改进的方法来预防，诊断和治疗人类疾病的关键。2001年戈登分子细胞生物学会议重点关注细胞生物学的最新发展，这些发展有助于确定疾病的遗传基础，现在提供了诊断和预防疾病的方法。本次会议的主要特点是其多样性和科学卓越性。重点是尖端科学导致新的科学原理和新的方法来细胞生物学。广泛的主题是代表，包括细胞周期，细胞极性和运动，细胞粘附，遗传疾病，细胞生物学和疾病。组织者是彼得·沃尔特和伊拉·赫斯科维茨（都在加州大学旧金山弗朗西斯科）。这次会议将汇集和促进世界著名的细胞生物学家之间的讨论。与会者将介绍他们最新的和令人兴奋的结果，涉及一些模型系统和使用各种新颖的技术方法。计划举行九次会议，每次会议包括四个主要会谈。每次会议结束时，将留出时间，就最新发展情况作简短的口头介绍。35名发言人，都是各自领域的领导人，已同意出席;其中约30%是妇女。将再邀请一人。每日海报会议将使所有参与者能够介绍和讨论他们的最新成果。演讲者、博士后研究员和研究生之间将有大量的非正式讨论机会。这项赠款要求对这一令人兴奋的会议提供部分支持。
