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FASEB夏季会议将于2004年6月26日至7月1日举行，主题为“微量元素代谢：整合应用和基础研究”（原“微量营养素：微量元素”）。会议地点将在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯的斯诺马斯村。这个场地提供了一个良好的环境，以促进科学互动的刺激环境。会议的目标是通过汇集具有不同观点和实验方法的科学家，促进科学思想的交流，并鼓励合作的发展。另一个目标是让年轻的研究人员参加会议，目的是让他们与这个迅速发展的领域中更成熟的研究人员进行互动。 自上次会议以来的两年中，微量元素研究取得了重大进展。2004年的会议将主要集中在我们对铁，铜，硒和锌代谢的理解的最新进展。十一届会议计划，考虑微量元素代谢的各个方面，包括运输和收购，细胞内贩运，金属蛋白生物合成，微量元素功能的新方面，以及转录和转录后调节机制，调节这些过程。这些会议将与人类疾病中的微量元素，营养状况评估和微量元素代谢研究的新模型系统的介绍相结合。正如会议名称所示，重点将是整合基础和应用微量元素研究。目前的项目包括46名受邀演讲者，其中25%以上是年轻的研究人员（即，前任期）。所有人都是根据他们的研究和对该领域的贡献而被选中的。大约100名额外的与会者将接受申请。将鼓励这些人提出海报，在两次海报会议上展出。我们还将获得资金，为多达10名博士后或高年级研究生提供旅行奖励。
