DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The next FASEB Summer Conference on "Trace Element Metabolism: Integrating Applied and Basic Research" (formerly "Micronutrient: Trace Elements") will be held June 26-July 1, 2004. The site of the conference will be Snowmass Village in Snowmass, Colorado. This venue provides an excellent environment to promote scientific interaction in stimulating surroundings. The goals of the conference are to promote exchange of scientific ideas and to encourage the development of collaborations by bringing together scientists with different perspectives and experimental approaches. Another goal is to involve young investigators in the conference with the aim of allowing them to interact with the more established investigators in this rapidly developing field. In the two years since the previous conference, there have been significant advances in trace element research. The 2004 conference will focus primarily on recent developments in our understanding of iron, copper, selenium, and zinc metabolism. Eleven sessions are planned that consider various aspects of trace element metabolism including transport and acquisition, intracellular trafficking, metalloprotein biogenesis, new aspects of trace element function, and the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that regulate these processes. These sessions will be integrated with presentations on trace elements in human disease, assessment of nutritional status, and new model systems for the study of trace element metabolism. As the name of the conference suggests, the emphasis will be on integrating basic and applied trace element research. The current program includes 46 invited speakers and more than 25% of these are young investigators (i.e., pre-tenure). All were chosen based on the excellence of their research and meritorious contributions to the field. Approximately 100 additional attendees will be accepted upon application. These individuals will be encouraged to present posters to be displayed in two poster sessions. We also will obtain funds to provide travel awards for up to 10 postdocs or senior graduate students.

描述(由申请人提供)： 下一届“微量元素代谢：综合应用和基础研究”(原为“微量营养素：痕量元素”)夏季会议将于2004年6月26日至7月1日举行。会议的地点将是科罗拉多州斯诺马斯的斯诺马斯村。这个场馆提供了一个极好的环境，以促进在模拟环境中的科学互动。会议的目标是促进科学思想的交流，并通过将具有不同观点和实验方法的科学家聚集在一起来鼓励合作的发展。另一个目标是让年轻的调查人员参加会议，目的是使他们能够与这一迅速发展的领域中更成熟的调查人员进行互动。 自上次会议以来的两年里，在微量元素研究方面取得了重大进展。2004年的会议将主要集中在我们对铁、铜、硒和锌代谢的理解方面的最新进展。计划举行11次会议，讨论微量元素代谢的各个方面，包括运输和获取、细胞内运输、金属蛋白生物发生、微量元素功能的新方面，以及调节这些过程的转录和转录后调控机制。这些会议将与关于人类疾病中的微量元素、营养状况评估和研究微量元素新陈代谢的新模型系统的演讲结合在一起。顾名思义，会议的重点将是整合基础和应用的微量元素研究。目前的方案包括46名受邀演讲者，其中25%以上是年轻的调查人员(即终身教职前)。所有这些人都是根据他们卓越的研究和对该领域的杰出贡献而被挑选出来的。如果申请，将接受大约100名额外的参与者。将鼓励这些个人提交海报，并在两次张贴会上展示。我们还将获得资金，为最多10名博士后或高级研究生提供旅行奖励。
