Third Symposium Cell Volume & Signalling Regulation

描述(由申请人提供)： 该应用程序请求提供部分支持，以便于2003年9月20-24日在莱特州立大学举办细胞体积和信号转导国际研讨会。这是关于这一主题的系列研讨会的第三次，起源于斯洛伐克的斯摩列尼茨(1997年)，并继续在德国柏林(2000年)。作为美国第一个此类研讨会，它是在前两届研讨会成功的基础上发展起来的。它汇集了来自欧洲和美国的大约80名科学家，他们在正常和病理改变的细胞体积调节中的膜运输和信号转导领域，特别是心血管、上皮和神经细胞生理学领域。参与者既有声名显赫的性别科学家，也有新出现的有希望的科学家。以下主题的多学科性质保证了主要研究领域之间的相互促进，这是本次会议的主要目标： 1.血液学和血管生物学与病理学，重点是红细胞、血管平滑肌和内皮细胞。 2.肾脏和胃肠道的生物学和病理学，特别是肾单位、胃肠系统和肝脏的上皮细胞。 3.神经生物学，即神经元和神经胶质细胞。 4.其他制度。 为了实现这些目标，会议将容纳大约30名演讲者(每天6-9场讲座)和50名海报演讲者，在莱特州立大学校园内举行综合会议。将在演讲间隙以及下午的海报会议和晚间讲座/社交聚会中提供讨论机会。校园会议场地提供演讲、海报和餐饮空间，并在附近的校外历史遗迹举行聚会/会议，例如代顿工程师俱乐部、全国知名的赖特-帕特森空军博物馆和代顿艺术学院。经济实惠的环境是理想的位置，参与者住宿在校园附近的酒店和附近的3个机场(代顿、哥伦布和辛辛那提)。几所主要大学靠近威斯康星州立大学校园，这为该地区的科学家提供了更多出席的机会。这次会议在俄亥俄州的二百周年纪念和莱特兄弟发明飞行一百周年的庆祝活动中占据了突出的位置。这次会议在美国本土的成功将促进高素质科学家在随后的国际会议上的继续聚集

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests partial support to host an International Symposium on Cell Volume & Signal Transduction at Wright State University September 20-24, 2003. This is third in a symposia series on the topic and originated in Smolenice, Slovakia (1997) and continued in Berlin, Germany (2000). As the first of its kind in the U.S., it builds on the previous 2 symposia's success. It draws together approximately 80 scientists from Europe and the United States in the fields of membrane transport and signal transduction in normal and pathologically altered cell volume regulation, in particular, the areas of cardiovascular, epithelial and neuronal cell physiology. Participants encompass both gender scientists whose eminence is well established in addition to those with emerging promise. The following topics' multidisciplinary nature guarantees cross-fertilization between the major research fields, a major goal of this meeting: 1. Hematological and vascular biology and pathology with special emphasis on erythrocytes, vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. 2. Renal and gastrointestinal biology and pathology, particularly of epithelial cells of the nephron, the gastrointestinal system and the liver. 3. Neurobiology, i.e., neuronal and glial cells. 4. Other systems. To achieve these goals, the conference will accommodate approximately 30 speakers (6-9 lectures/day) and 50 poster presenters in integrated sessions within the Wright State University campus. Opportunity will be provided for discussions during time intervals between talks and in afternoon poster sessions and evening lecture/social gatherings. Campus conference sites offer space for lectures, posters and meals, combined with gatherings/meetings at nearby offcampus historic sites, e.g., Dayton Engineers Club, the nationally-acclaimed Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum and Dayton Art Institute. The cost-effective setting is ideally situated with participant housing in hotels adjacent to campus and 3 airports (Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati) nearby. The proximity of several major universities to WSU campus provides opportunity for greater attendance by scientists in the region. The meeting assumes a prominent position in the Ohio Bicentennial and Wright Brothers Invention of Flight Centennial celebrations. This meeting's success on U.S. soil will foster continuation of gathering of high-caliber scientists at subsequent international meetings
