DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are sought to cover partial support of the Gordon Research Conference on Calcium Signaling to be held at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts, July 6-11. The meeting provides a unique multidisciplinary forum for exchange of ideas and information in the field of Ca>signaling, a fundamental form of cellular control common to all eukaryotic organisms, from yeast to mammals. A particular strength of the meeting is its ability to stimulate international interactions between workers using a variety of organisms and cellular systems and with interests that range from fundamental mechanisms to disease states. The primary objective is to facilitate successful interactions between new and established investigators. Highest priority will be given to the selection of, and provision of funds for, junior scientists (student and postdoctoral trainees), women scientists, under-represented minority scientists and international participants. The conference will include 8 discussion sessions, each lead by a prominent member of the field (established and young) with experience in maximizing interactive exchange. There will also be two poster sessions. The main sessions will emphasize the role of Ca 2+ in controlling fundamental cell functions. These include the regulation of Ca 2+ fluxes at the plasma membrane, the spatial and temporal control of Ca 2+ signaling events, and the roles of Ca 2+ signaling in sensory systems (olfaction, taste, smell, temperature), exocytosis, cellular energetics, cell death and cardiac and neuronal diseases. Chairs and speakers include female scientists (3/8 chairs and 6/24 speakers) and a combination of established and successful younger investigators. They represent an array of cellular systems and different techniques ranging from structural and molecular biological analyses and manipulation of the Ca2+ signaling machinery in model systems and in vivo, to pioneering micro-imaging technology in subcellular compartments to observe the generation and propagation of Ca2+ signals. Participants are drawn from backgrounds that include biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, molecular biology, biophysics and pharmacology; all share a primary interest in understanding the mechanisms and significance of Ca 2+ signaling in cells. The topics included at this meeting are both fundamentally important and directly relevant to an understanding of significant diseases, including cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and sensory diseases, ageing, diabetes, cancer, and the effects of environmental toxins on human health.

描述（由申请人提供）： 资金寻求支付部分支持戈登研究会议钙信号将在山霍利奥克学院，南哈德利，马萨诸塞州，7月6日至11日。会议提供了一个独特的多学科论坛，用于交流Ca>信号领域的思想和信息，Ca>信号是所有真核生物共同的细胞控制的基本形式，从酵母到哺乳动物。会议的一个特别优势是它能够促进使用各种生物体和细胞系统的工作者之间的国际互动，并关注从基本机制到疾病状态的各种利益。主要目标是促进新的和现有的调查人员之间的成功互动。将最优先考虑选拔青年科学家（学生和博士后受训人员）、女科学家、代表性不足的少数民族科学家和国际参与者，并为其提供资金。会议将包括8个讨论环节，每个环节由一位在最大限度地发挥互动交流方面经验丰富的该领域知名人士（既有知名人士，也有年轻人）主持。此外，还将举办两场海报展示会。主要会议将强调钙离子在控制基本细胞功能中的作用.这些包括质膜上Ca 2+通量的调节、Ca 2+信号事件的空间和时间控制以及Ca 2+信号在感觉系统（嗅觉、味觉、嗅觉、温度）、胞吐作用、细胞能量学、细胞死亡以及心脏和神经元疾病中的作用。主席和发言者包括女科学家（3/8的主席和6/24的发言者）和成熟和成功的年轻研究人员的组合。他们代表了一系列的细胞系统和不同的技术，从结构和分子生物学分析和操纵的Ca 2+信号机制在模型系统和体内，开拓显微成像技术在亚细胞区室观察Ca 2+信号的产生和传播。参与者来自包括生物化学，生理学，细胞生物学，分子生物学，生物物理学和药理学的背景;所有人都对理解细胞中Ca 2+信号传导的机制和意义感兴趣。本次会议的主题既具有根本重要性，又与了解重大疾病直接相关，包括心血管、神经变性和感觉疾病、衰老、糖尿病、癌症以及环境毒素对人类健康的影响。
