The 2001 Gordon Research Conference on Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids will be held July 15 to July 20 at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, NH. This conference has been held in odd years for over 40 years and is recognized internationally as the most prestigious forum for the presentation of the latest and most significant research in the area of lipid biochemistry and molecular biology. The 2001 conference will continue this tradition of emphasis on the enzymology, biochemistry, and cell biology of lipid metabolism with the additional inclusion of emerging information on the role of lipids in cell function, functional genomics of lipid metabolism, transgenic animal models and the structure of proteins that interact with lipids. Nine lecture sessions are planned, five in the evening and four in the morning, which will be supplemented by afternoon poster sessions in which all participants will be encouraged to present their latest findings. The lecture sessions will cover the following topics: polyphosphatidylinositides and cell function; peroxisome biogenesis and function; animal models for lipid metabolism; structural basis for lipid/protein interactions; lipids in pathology and disease; lipids and vesicular trafficking; regulation of lipid metabolism; lipid microdomains in membranes; and functional genomics in lipid metabolism. The methodology utilized by the list of speakers covers a broad spectrum of approaches including somatic cell and whole animal genetics, crystallography, enzymology, molecular biological manipulation of genomes, fluorescence microscopy, etc. The above breadth of topics and the diversity of techniques employed will attract a diverse group of scientists with a common interest in lipids and lipid metabolism. Participants and speakers will be selected to reflect international excellence in this area of research with an appropriate balance ensuring representation of young scientists, women, and minorities. Proper facilities are available to accommodate handicapped individuals who will also be considered equally in the selection of attendees and speakers. The meeting will bring together the leading scientists in the field to present and evaluate the latest research in the area and is designed to stimulate the widen application of the emerging technologies to the frontiers of lipid research.

2001年戈登脂类分子和细胞生物学研究会议将于7月15日至20日在新罕布什尔州梅里登的金博尔联合学院举行。该会议在奇数年举行超过40年，是国际公认的最负盛名的论坛，介绍脂质生物化学和分子生物学领域最新和最重要的研究。2001年的会议将继续强调脂质代谢的酶学、生物化学和细胞生物学的传统，并增加关于脂质在细胞功能中的作用、脂质代谢的功能基因组学、转基因动物模型和与脂质相互作用的蛋白质结构的新信息。计划有九场讲座，五场在晚上，四场在早上，下午还会有海报会议，鼓励所有参与者展示他们的最新发现。讲座将涵盖以下主题：多磷脂酰亚脂和细胞功能；过氧化物酶体的生物发生与功能；脂质代谢动物模型；脂质/蛋白相互作用的结构基础；病理和疾病中的脂质；脂质和囊泡运输；脂质代谢调节；膜中的脂质微结构域；以及脂质代谢的功能基因组学。演讲者使用的方法涵盖了广泛的方法，包括体细胞和全动物遗传学，晶体学，酶学，基因组的分子生物学操作，荧光显微镜等。上述主题的广度和所采用技术的多样性将吸引对脂质和脂质代谢有共同兴趣的不同科学家群体。参与者和演讲者的选择将反映这一研究领域的国际卓越水平，并适当平衡，确保青年科学家、妇女和少数民族的代表性。为残疾人提供适当的设施，他们在选择与会者和演讲者时也将得到平等的考虑。会议将汇集该领域的顶尖科学家，介绍和评估该领域的最新研究，旨在促进新兴技术在脂质研究前沿的广泛应用。
