2004 Growth Factor Signalling Gordon Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登研究会议上的生长因子信号将于2004年7月25日至30日在女王学院，牛津大学，在英国。 虽然相对较小的会议是信号转导研究的首要聚会之一。 到目前为止，已有35位演讲者接受了邀请，其中一半以上在美国工作。 演讲者代表不同的种族背景，其中包括10名在信号转导领域的领导者。 会议旨在为信息传播提供最长时间，每位演讲者每次演讲至少分配30分钟，提问时间至少分配15分钟。 每天午餐后有三个小时的自由时间，参与者可以聚在一起，更详细地讨论项目和合作。 每天下午4点将举行海报会议，有充足的时间进行讨论，然后是晚餐和晚上的会议，有两个发言者。 会议的目标是提供一个鼓励广泛的正式和非正式讨论的环境，以及与会者之间的社区意识。 虽然会议的吸引力之一是知名研究人员的普遍存在，但会议也努力支持和鼓励年轻科学家建立初步的科学和个人联系。将讨论的主要议题将包括激酶和磷酸酶，支架，神经元信号传导，先天免疫和凋亡，高通量分析和建模，TGF β和发育，激酶网络，运输/内吞作用和染色质组织。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference on Growth Factor Signaling will take place on July 25-30, 2004 at The Queen's College, Oxford University, in the United Kingdom. Although relatively small the conference is one of the premier gatherings for signal transduction research. So far 35 speakers have accepted invitations to attend and, of these, over half work in the USA. The speakers represent different ethnic backgrounds and include 10 women who are leaders in the field of signal transduction. The sessions are designed to provide maximum time for dissemination of information with each speaker allocated at least 30 minutes/talk and 15 minutes for questions. Following lunch each day there are three hours of free time where participants can get together and discuss projects and collaborations in more detail. Poster sessions with ample time for discussion will be held at 4PM each day followed by dinner and an evening session featuring two speakers. The goals of the conference are to provide an environment that encourages extensive formal and informal discussion and a sense of community among the attendees. Although one of the attractions of the conference is the prevalence of well established investigators, the Conference also endeavors to support and encourage young scientists as they establish initial scientific and personal contacts. The main topics to be discussed will include Kinases and Phosphatases, Scaffolds, Neuronal Signaling, Innate Immunity and Apoptosis, High throughput analysis and Modelling, TGFb and Development, Kinase networks, Trafficking/endocytosis and Chromatin organization.
