描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份为期多年的申请，申请于2005年3月和2007年3月在加利福尼亚州文图拉的Four Points喜来登文图拉港口城举行的两年一度的戈登糖生物学研究会议的部分支持。上一届会议于2003年3月2日至7日在同一地点举行，并已全部订满。糖生物学戈登会议是介绍糖生物学领域最新和最重要研究的最负盛名的论坛之一。2005年和2007年的会议将延续重视糖共轭化合物生物学的传统。以下简要介绍2005年会议的计划。2007年的会议也将制定类似的计划。计划举行11次口头会议，并在会议整整四天的每一次会议上进行海报介绍。优秀的海报将被选为简短的口头介绍，以展示该领域的最新发展。讲座内容包括：发育糖生物学、癌症糖生物学、糖共轭化合物在信号转导中的作用、免疫系统的糖生物学、神经元糖生物学、微生物和寄生虫的糖生物学、人类遗传病的糖生物学、糖基化在蛋白质折叠和质量控制中的作用、糖结合物的生物合成、结构和化学糖生物学，以及基因组学、蛋白质组学和糖漫画。上述主题的广度和所采用的技术的多样性将吸引对糖共轭化合物及其功能有共同兴趣的不同的科学家群体。参赛者和演讲者将被挑选出来，以反映糖生物学领域的国际卓越水平，并确保适当的平衡，确保年轻科学家、女性和少数群体的代表性。有适当的设施可供残疾人士住宿。这次会议将汇集该领域的顶尖科学家，介绍和评估最新的研究，旨在鼓励将新兴概念和技术应用于糖生物学研究的广泛前沿。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): This is a multi-year application for partial support of the biennial Gordon Research Conference on Glycobiology to be held in March 2005 and 2007 at the Four Points Sheraton Ventura Harbortown, Ventura, CA. The previous conference was held at the same location, March 2-7, 2003, and was fully subscribed. The Glycobiology Gordon Conference is one of the most prestigious forums for the presentation of the latest and most significant research in the area of Glycobiology. The 2005 and 2007 conferences will continue a tradition of emphasis on the biology of glycoconjugates. Plans for the 2005 conference are described briefly below. Similar plans will be made for the 2007 meeting. Eleven oral sessions are planned which will be supplemented with poster presentations on each of the four full days of the conference. Outstanding posters will be selected for short oral presentations to bring forth the latest developments in the field. The lecture sessions will cover the following topics: Developmental Glycobiology, Cancer Glycobiology, Role of Glycoconjugates in Signal Transduction, Glycobiology of the Immune System, Neuronal Glycobiology, Glycobiology of Microbes and Parasites, Glycobiology of Human Genetic Diseases, Role of Glycosylation in Protein Folding and Quality Control, Biosynthesis of Glycoconjugates, Structural and Chemical Glycobiology, and Genomics, Proteomics, and Glycomics. The above breadth of topics and the diversity of techniques employed will attract a diverse group of scientists with a common interest in glycoconjugates and their functions. Participants and speakers will be selected to reflect the international excellence in glycobiology with appropriate balance ensuring representation of young scientists, women, and minorities. Proper facilities are available to accommodate handicapped individuals. The meeting will bring together leading scientists in the field to present and evaluate the latest research and is designed to stimulate the application of emerging concepts and technologies to the broad frontiers of research in glycobiology.
