The first Gordon Conference on Gradient Sensing and Directed Cell Migration will be held February 20-25, 2005 at the Four Point Sheraton, Harbortown,California. This meeting will focus directly on mechanisms of eukaryotic chemotaxis. Because chemotaxis is critical for allergies and infectious disease, neurological diseases, development, immunology, wound healing, and tumor cell metastasis, the meeting is designed to bring together the leading chemotaxis researchers in these fields for cross-fertilization of concepts and approaches. This strategy is manifested by organizing each topic according to stage in the process; for example, researchers in different fields who are focused on chemotaxis signaling networks are grouped together in a single session. The session topics are chosen to focus attention on the critical steps in chemotactic signaling, providing attendees with an integrated overview of the entire chemotaxis process over the course of the entire meeting. The goal of the meeting is to advance our understanding of these mechanisms by bringing together modelers with the leading experts in the study of cell polarization in chemotaxis in systems including leukocytes, neurons, fibroblasts, tumor cells, yeast, Dictyostelium, Drosophila, and C. elegans. We have planned nine sessions with a total of 29 plenary talks, and each session will be chaired by an expert in the topic who will lead the discussion. Considerable time is planned to encourage extensive discussion. The program will provide opportunities for investigators at all levels to participate, including those currently funded through the NIH, including NIAID, NINDS, NCI, NHLBI, and NIGMS. The program will also provide opportunity for 20 "short talk" presentations, which will be selected by the session chairs from submitted abstracts and posters. The final list of conferees (including session chairs, speakers and participants) will be chosen so as to represent researchers from all sectors. We will encourage the participation of junior investigators, post-doctoral trainees and new investigators to the field in all aspects of the meeting. In addition, we will foster the involvement of women, diverse groups of minorities and handicapped individuals who are interested in studying chemotaxis.

第一次戈登梯度传感和定向细胞迁移的会议将于2005年2月20日至25日在加利福尼亚州哈博尔敦的Sheraton四点举行。这次会议将直接关注真核趋化性的机制。由于趋化性对于过敏和传染病，神经系统疾病，发育，免疫学，伤口愈合和肿瘤细胞转移至关重要，因此会议旨在将这些领域的主要趋化性研究人员汇集在一起​​，以汇总概念和方法的交叉批准。通过根据过程中的阶段组织每个主题来体现这种策略；例如，专注于趋化信号网络的不同领域的研究人员分组 在一次会话中一起。选择会议主题是为了将注意力集中在趋化信号传导的关键步骤上，从而为与会者提供了整个趋化过程的整合概述。这次会议的目的是通过将建模者与领先的专家联系在一起，以促进我们对这些机制的理解，这些专家在包括白细胞，神经元，成纤维细胞，肿瘤细胞，酵母，酵母，dictyostostelium，果蝇，果蝇和C. exkemans等系统的系统中细胞极化研究。我们计划了9次会议，共有29次全体会议，每个会议都将由该主题的专家主持，他们将主持讨论。计划大量时间鼓励大量讨论。该计划将为各级调查人员提供机会参加，包括当前通过NIH资助的调查人员，包括NIAID，NINDS，NCI，NHLBI和 nigms。该计划还将为20个“简短谈话”演示文稿提供机会，并将由提交摘要和海报的会议主持人选择。将选择Conferees（包括会议主席，演讲者和参与者）的最终清单，以代表来自所有部门的研究人员。我们将鼓励在会议各个方面的初级调查人员，博士后学员和新调查人员的参与。此外，我们将培养有兴趣研究趋化性的妇女，不同少数民族和残障人士的参与。
