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.

第一届关于梯度传感和定向细胞迁移的戈登会议将于2005年2月20日至25日在加州港镇的福朋喜来登酒店举行。这次会议将直接关注真核生物趋化的机制。由于趋化性对过敏和传染病、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，本次会议旨在汇集这些领域领先的趋化性研究人员，以促进概念和方法的交流。这一策略表现为在过程中按阶段组织各主题；例如，专注于趋化性信号网络的不同领域的研究人员被分组
