DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The first Gordon Research Conference on Cell-Cell Fusion will take place in 2007, at Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire, July 1-6. This new GRC follows two successive "Special Interest" subgroup meetings on "Cell-Cell Fusion" that took place in 2002 and 2003 at the American Society for Cell Biology, and which this principal investigator organized. The fusion of cells with themselves, and with other cells, has become the research focus of an increasing number of cell biologists and has grown to the point of becoming the theme of a new GRC. The Cell-Cell Fusion conference is unique in the novelty, breadth, and depth of its coverage of new developments in the emerging field of cell fusion. The Gordon Research Conference format differs from virtually all other scientific meetings in providing an extensive opportunity for open, free, and informal discussions. The number of participants is limited to about 130, and attendees include international leaders in the field from the academic and industrial sector, young investigators, post-doctoral fellows, and students. The success of this new Gordon Conference as a forum for the discussion of state-of-the-art research advances is attributable to its limited size, geographical isolation, and overall structure. This new conference will focus on an emerging area of biology, that of the fusion of cells with each other during development, repair, and disease. It will include two introductory sessions on membrane fusion and viral fusion, followed by sessions on sperm-oocyte fusion, myoblast fusion, as well as fusion in C. elegans, Neurospora crassa, Chlamydomonas, and yeast mating. The last three sessions will focus on macrophage fusion, stem cell fusion, and fusion of cancer cells. The discussion leaders and speakers selected to date are among the international leaders of cell fusion. The keynote address speaker is one of the world's foremost experts in membrane fusion. The purpose of this application is to request funds to defray the costs of speakers' registration and subsistence. These funds, if granted, will aid immeasurably in allowing the Gordon Research Conference to fulfill its function, which is to stimulate creativity and interaction in an emerging field of biology.

描述（由申请人提供）：第一次戈登细胞融合研究会议将于2007年7月1日至6日在新罕布什尔州的科尔比索耶学院举行。这个新的GRC是在2002年和2003年在美国细胞生物学协会举行的两次关于“细胞-细胞融合”的连续“特别兴趣”小组会议之后举行的，这是本首席研究员组织的。细胞与自身以及与其他细胞的融合已经成为越来越多的细胞生物学家的研究重点，并已发展到成为新GRC的主题。Cell-Cell Fusion会议在其对细胞融合新兴领域新发展的报道的新奇，广度和深度方面是独一无二的。戈登研究会议的形式与几乎所有其他科学会议不同，它提供了一个广泛的机会进行公开、自由和非正式的讨论。与会者人数限制在130人左右，与会者包括来自学术和工业部门的国际领导人，年轻的研究人员，博士后研究员和学生。这个新的戈登会议的成功作为一个论坛，讨论国家的最先进的研究进展是由于其有限的规模，地理隔离，和整体结构。这个新的会议将集中在生物学的一个新兴领域，即细胞在发育，修复和疾病过程中相互融合。它将包括两个介绍性会议上膜融合和病毒融合，其次是会议上精子卵母细胞融合，成肌细胞融合，以及融合在C。线虫、粗糙脉孢菌、衣原体和酵母交配。最后三节课将集中在巨噬细胞融合，干细胞融合和癌细胞融合。迄今为止，所选的讨论领导者和发言者都是细胞融合的国际领导者。主题演讲的演讲者是世界上最重要的膜融合专家之一。本申请的目的是要求提供资金，以支付发言者的登记和生活费。这些资金，如果获得批准，将帮助不可估量的允许戈登研究会议履行其职能，这是刺激创造力和互动在一个新兴的生物学领域。
