Conference Proposal: Calcium and Cell Function

描述（由申请人提供）：钙信号可能是 无处不在的信号转导介质，影响几乎所有疾病 相关的信号传导过程，和钙相关的研究领域已经 高度跨学科，连接来自许多NIH研究所的研究人员。我们 因此，会议在NIH没有一个特定的家庭研究所， 在过去依赖于不同机构的资助。钙信号传导 多年来，研究一直是许多新生物技术的驱动力。 发现和技术发展，并对大多数领域产生了显着影响 生物医学研究。FASEB钙和细胞功能会议召开 每两年举行一次，是该领域最重要的研究会议， 研究钙信号调节的研究人员， 研究人员对钙在不同细胞功能中的作用感兴趣。以下 一长串的精神，非常成功，以及出席FASEB钙 和细胞功能会议在过去，我们已经把一个会议， 应该再次吸引来自不同研究学科的研究人员， 国家，产生激烈的讨论，并促进新的接触， 在这个令人兴奋和快速发展的领域合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Calcium signals are probably the most ubiquitous signal transduction mediators that impact on almost every disease related signaling process, and the calcium associated research field has been highly interdisciplinary, connecting researchers from many NIH institutes. Our conference does therefore not have a specific home institute at the NIH but relied in the past on funding from different institutes. Calcium signaling research has been for many years the driving force for many new biological discoveries and technical developments and had a marked impact on most fields of biomedical research. The FASEB meeting on Calcium and Cell Function is held every two years and is the premier research conference in this field, bringing together researchers that work on the regulation of calcium signals with researchers interested in calcium's role in different cell functions. Following the spirit of a long list of highly successful and well attended FASEB Calcium and Cell Function meetings in the past, we have put together a conference that should again draw researchers from different research disciplines and countries, generate intense discussions, and facilitate new contacts and collaborations in this exciting and rapidly developing field.
