DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Gordon Research Conferences on Mammary Gland Biology are planned for May 2004, June 2005 and May 2006 at Il Ciocco, Italy (2004 and 2006), and Roger Williams University, Bristol, RI (2005). These meetings encompass both basic mammary gland biology and breast cancer. These topics are currently the focus of intense investigation given the alarming rate of occurrence of breast cancer in the US and the western world. Furthermore, the benefits of breast feeding for both the infant and mother is becoming more apparent and the biology of lactation is of major importance in the dairy industry. Conference programs will represent the core of important new and ongoing research in mammary gland and cancer biology and will be designed specifically to foster interaction between investigators across disciplines. Participants and speakers will be drawn from academia and government research agencies, the medical profession and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The program for 2004 includes an opening presentation on p53 and cancer. Other sessions with a breast cancer focus will cover diet and other risk factors (including hormones) and mouse models. The rapidly emerging areas of stem cell research and embryonic development will be the focus of two sessions early in the meeting. We have introduced a new concept for this GRC meeting- an entire session devoted to young investigators working in the apoptosis field. This session will be chaired by a world leader in apoptosis research. Other sessions include cell fate determination via different families of signaling molecules such as Notch, SOCS and axonal guidance factors and the molecular biology of lactation and milk production in other species. The closing session will encompass the keynote address, which will present the exciting challenges facing mammary gland and breast cancer investigators. All partcipants will be able to present posters and attend a workshop on imaging technology in mammary biology. Subsequent meetings planned for 2005 and 2006 will focus on current developments in the field. The Mammary Gland Biology Gordon Research Conference is the premier conference in the field and is an essential mechanism for promoting interactions between investigators interested in all aspects of breast biology from molecular biology, to tumorigenesis, endocrine function, and lactation.

描述（由申请人提供）：计划于2004年5月、2005年6月和2006年5月在意大利的Il Ciocco（2004年和2006年）和RI的布里斯托的罗杰威廉姆斯大学（2005年）举行乳腺生物学戈登研究会议。 这些会议包括基础乳腺生物学和乳腺癌。 鉴于美国和西方世界乳腺癌的发生率令人震惊，这些主题目前是密集调查的焦点。 此外，母乳喂养对婴儿和母亲的好处越来越明显，哺乳生物学在乳制品行业中非常重要。 会议计划将代表乳腺和癌症生物学重要的新的和正在进行的研究的核心，并将专门设计，以促进跨学科研究人员之间的互动。 与会者和发言者将来自学术界和政府研究机构、医学界以及生物技术和制药业。 2004年的节目包括一个关于p53和癌症的开幕演讲。 其他以乳腺癌为重点的课程将涵盖饮食和其他风险因素（包括激素）以及小鼠模型。 干细胞研究和胚胎发育等迅速兴起的领域将是会议初期两个会议的重点。 我们为这次GRC会议引入了一个新的概念-整个会议都致力于细胞凋亡领域的年轻研究人员。本次会议将由世界领先的细胞凋亡研究主持。其他课程包括通过不同家族的信号分子如Notch，SOCS和轴突导向因子确定细胞命运，以及哺乳期哺乳和产奶的分子生物学。 其他物种。闭幕会议将包括主旨演讲，这将提出乳腺和乳腺癌研究人员面临的令人兴奋的挑战。所有参与者将能够展示海报，并参加一个关于乳腺生物学成像技术的研讨会。计划于2005年和2006年举行的后续会议将侧重于该领域目前的事态发展。乳腺生物学戈登研究会议是该领域的首要会议，是促进对乳腺生物学各个方面感兴趣的研究人员之间互动的重要机制，从分子生物学到肿瘤发生，内分泌功能和哺乳。
