DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The XXIst International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems (ICMRBS 2005), "60th Anniversary of the discovery of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance," will be held between 16 and 21 January 2005 in Hyderabad, India. The meeting will focus on a broad range of magnetic resonance methods as applied to studies of biological processes related to human health. The biennial ICMRBS has become the major venue for discussion of advances in nuclear and electron magnetic resonance (NMR & EMR/EPR) studies of the structure, dynamics, and chemical properties of important classes of bio-molecules. Magnetic resonance has become an established tool in structural biology, and its special importance derives from its ability to provide atomic level information. It is becoming increasingly evident that the dynamic features of bio-molecules, their intermolecular interactions, and accessible conformations in solution are data of key importance in understanding molecular recognition and function. NMR, which is already contributing to approximately 25% of the new structures being deposited with the Protein Data Bank, is destined to be a major player in the post genomic structure age with its emphasis on structure and function. In-vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results shed light on human metabolic processes and on the cellular ramifications of cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and other pathologies. New methodologies in metabonomics may lead to development of new drugs and medical diagnosis. The ICMRBS is the one conference that brings together experts from high-resolution NMR, solid state NMR, EPR, in-vivo MRS and MRI, and developers of instrumentation, techniques, software, and databases. Symposia at this ICMRBS are designed to continue the fruitful cross-fertilization of ideas that has been so successful in driving the spectacular advances in this field. ICMRBS 2005 will maintain the traditional format of poster sessions, and plenary lectures that highlight major advances in each of the major areas, and three parallel symposia that focus on particular biological systems, interfacial applications of magnetic resonance, and rapidly advancing technology. The funds solicited here are needed to provide partial travel support for 33 younger scientists from the U.S. (graduate students, postdoctoral research associates, and beginning faculty) to be selected from those who have submitted accepted posters; 12 of these will be invited to contribute oral presentations. Those receiving travel supports will be selected by a committee composed of the U.S. members of the International Advisory Committee for the meeting. Particular emphasis will be placed on facilitating participation of minority and women scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：第二十一届生物系统磁共振国际会议（ICMRBS 2005），“核磁共振发现60周年”，将于2005年1月16日至21日在印度海得拉巴举行。 会议将重点讨论广泛的磁共振方法，应用于与人类健康有关的生物过程的研究。两年一度的ICMRBS已成为讨论重要类别生物分子的结构，动力学和化学性质的核磁共振和电子磁共振（NMR & EMR/EPR）研究进展的主要场所。磁共振已经成为结构生物学中的一种既定工具，其特殊的重要性源于其提供原子水平信息的能力。越来越明显的是，生物分子的动力学特征，它们的分子间相互作用，以及在溶液中的可接近构象是理解分子识别和功能的关键重要数据。NMR已经贡献了蛋白质数据库中约25%的新结构，注定要成为后基因组结构时代的主要参与者，其重点是结构和功能。体内磁共振波谱（MRS）和磁共振成像（MRI）结果揭示了人类代谢过程以及癌症、中风、心血管疾病和其他病理的细胞分支。代谢组学的新方法可能会导致新药物的开发和医学诊断。ICMRBS是一个会议，汇集了来自高分辨率NMR，固态NMR，EPR，体内MRS和MRI的专家，以及仪器，技术，软件和数据库的开发人员。在这个ICMRBS研讨会的目的是继续富有成效的思想交流，已经如此成功地推动了这一领域的惊人进步。ICMRBS 2005将保持海报会议的传统形式，强调每个主要领域的主要进展的全体讲座，以及三个平行的专题讨论会，重点是特定的生物系统，磁共振的界面应用和快速发展的技术。这里所募集的资金需要为来自美国的33名年轻科学家（研究生，博士后研究助理和初任教师）提供部分旅行支持，这些科学家将从提交接受海报的人中选出;其中12人将被邀请进行口头报告。获得旅行资助的人将由一个由国际咨询委员会的美国成员组成的委员会选出。将特别强调促进少数群体和女科学家的参与。
