Gordon Conference on the Red Cell

描述(由申请人提供)： 红细胞戈登会议为深入讨论与红细胞生物学、红系基因表达调控、造血和临床相关问题有关的话题提供了一个非正式的氛围。这次会议的订阅量一直超额，吸引了来自世界各地的顶尖科学家和临床医生。鉴于最近在几个重要领域取得的重大进展，2003年会议尤其值得注意。计划举办九场个人讲座，八场包括一场简短的入门讲座，四至七场完整的讲座，以及几场简短的演讲。其中一次会议将专门讨论从提交的摘要和具有重大意义的最新发现中挑选出来的演讲。戈登会议的一个新组成部分是在每一次会议结束时进行10分钟的集体头脑风暴，在这段时间里，与会者将被鼓励识别该领域中尚未回答的主要问题。 课程主题包括： 第一节：红血球疾病； 第二节：膜结构、运输和粘附性； 第三讲：膜结构与力学； 第四节红细胞膜蛋白基因表达的调控； 第五节：红系基因表达：珠蛋白/LCR； 第六节：红系基因表达：转录； 第七节：干细胞； 第八节。造血； 第九节：最新突发新闻/海报演讲精选。 两个下午的海报会议还将包括来自所有学科的演示文稿。科学方法/兴趣的多样性，加上以前红血球戈登会议的丰富讨论，导致了许多富有成效的合作，并在这些重要的基础和临床研究领域促进了新的发展

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Red Cell Gordon Conference has provided an informal atmosphere for in-depth discussions on topics related to red cell biology, regulation of erythroid gene expression, hematopoiesis, and clinically related issues. The meeting, which is consistently oversubscribed, draws leading scientists and clinicians from around the world. The 2003 meeting should be especially noteworthy, given the major recent advances in several of the prominent areas. Nine individual sessions are planned, eight sessions will feature a short introductory lecture, four to seven full lectures, and several short talks. One session will be devoted exclusively to talks chosen from the submitted abstracts and late-breaking discoveries of major significance. A new component of this Gordon Conference will be a 10 min collective brain-storming period at the end of each session, in which conferees will be encouraged to identify the major unanswered questions in the field. The session topics are: Session 1. Red Cell Disorders; Session 2. Membrane Structure, Transport and Adhesion; Session 3. Membrane Structure and Mechanics; Session 4. Regulation of Erythroid Membrane Protein Gene Expression; Session 5. Erythroid Gene Expression: Globin/LCR; Session 6. Erythroid Gene Expression: Transcription; Session 7. Stem Cells; Session 8. Hematopoiesis; Session 9. Late Breaking Stories/Selected Talks from Poster Presentations. Two afternoon poster sessions will also feature a mix of presentations from all disciplines. The diversity of scientific approaches/interests combined with the richness of discussions of previous Red Cell Gordon Conferences has led to numerous productive collaborations and fostered new developments in these important areas of basic and clinical research
