13th Annual SFRBM Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）：我们为将于2006年11月15日至19日在丹佛亚当马克酒店举行的第13届自由基生物与医学学会年会（SFRBM，原氧气学会）申请部分资金。资金将用于支付差旅费、住宿费、受邀演讲嘉宾注册费和学生旅费。会议之前将举办一个关于氧化应激和氧化还原信号中的硫醇组的研讨会，由该领域的专家向年轻和其他感兴趣的研究人员提供关于检测细胞/组织/生物体中硫醇状态变化的最新实验方法的概念、技术和解释的讲座。然后，为期四天的会议将开始，上午有邀请的全体会议演讲，下午/晚上平行举行的三个会议上有选定摘要的口头介绍。四次全体会议的主题是：血管生成和血管反应性的氧化还原调节；环境和职业性肺病中的氧化剂和抗氧化剂；线粒体氧化修饰：蛋白质、DNA和脂质；有机金属配合物作为人类疾病的治疗剂。作为一个新特色，会议最后一天的前两场全体演讲将由SFRBM终身成就奖和SFRBM发现奖的获得者发表。在每天上午的全体讲座之前，日出自由基学校将举行，这是SFRBM年会的一个明显特点，由该领域的资深科学家向学生，研究员和其他感兴趣的研究者介绍自由基化学和生物学的基本方面。下午的讲座将从会员和非会员提交的摘要中挑选。每天下午的会议将由该领域选定的年轻研究人员主持。未被选为口头报告的摘要将在三个为期一天的海报会议上发表。海报将在晚上开放供讨论。总体而言，SFRBM '06将讨论与活性氧和活性氮在生物学和医学中的不同作用相关的广泛研究课题。研究数据将对我们对衰老、癌症、糖尿病、炎症和免疫以及心血管疾病的理解产生重大影响，并将为抗氧化剂和治疗方法用于帮助预防或治疗这些疾病的机制提供新的见解。会议提供了一个论坛，以交流自由基化学、生物学和医学领域最新的基础和应用研究成果，并为该领域的科学家提供了一个建立网络和安排新的合作的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial funding for the 13th Annual Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM; formerly The Oxygen Society) to be held November 15-19, 2006 at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Denver CO. Funds will support travel, lodging, and registration fees of invited speakers and travel for students. The meeting will be preceded by a workshop on The Thiol Group in Oxidative Stress and Redox Signaling, providing lectures by experts in the field to young and other interested investigators on the concepts, techniques, and interpretations of state-of-the-art-experimental approaches for detecting changes in thiol status in cells/tissues/ organisms. The body of the four-day meeting will then begin, featuring invited plenary lectures in the morning and oral presentations of selected abstracts in three parallel afternoon/evening sessions. The themes of the four plenary sessions are: Redox regulation of angiogenesis and vascular reactivity; Oxidants and antioxidants in environmental and occupational lung disease; Oxidative mitochondrial modifications: Proteins, DNA, & lipids; and Organometallic complexes as therapeutic agents in human disease. As a new feature, the first two plenary lectures on the final day of the conference will be delivered by the recipients of the SFRBM Lifetime Achievement Award and SFRBM Discovery Award. Before the plenary lectures each morning, the Sunrise Free Radical School will be held, a distinct characteristic of the SFRBM Annual Meetings, featuring senior scientists in the field addressing fundamental aspects of free radical chemistry and biology to an audience of students, fellows, and other interested investigators. The lectures delivered in the afternoon sessions will be selected from abstracts submitted by Society members and non-members at large. Each afternoon session will be chaired by selected young investigators in the field. Abstracts not selected for oral presentation will be presented in three one-day poster sessions. Posters will be open for discussion in the evenings. Overall, SFRBM '06 will address a broad range of research topics related to the diverse roles that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species play in biology and medicine. Research data presented will have a significant impact on our understanding of aging, cancer, diabetes, inflammation and immunity, and cardiovascular diseases, and will provide new insights into mechanisms by which antioxidants and therapeutics can be used to help prevent or treat these conditions. The conference provides a forum for exchange of the most recent basic and applied research results in free radical chemistry, biology, and medicine as well as an opportunity for scientists in the field to network and arrange for new collaborations.
