2007 Nitric Oxide Gordon Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 戈登研究会议“一氧化氮（NO）”的目的是提供化学家，生物学家，细胞生物学家，临床医生和其他科学家与NO生成系统的基本结构/功能关系的最先进的知识和NO作为生理和病理生理状态的信号分子的生物学。该研究会议每两年举行一次，下次会议将在文图拉皇冠假日酒店举行， 加州，2007年2月4日至9日。预计来自学术界、政府和工业界的大约135名与会者将出席2007年戈登研究会议。要求提供资金，以部分支付会议费和/或与会者旅费。发言者由以前的主席，共同主席和该领域的其他人选出，以涵盖该领域的新兴领域，并平衡高级和初级调查员的计划。会议将包括NO产生/传感途径：结构和功能; NO的体内化学和作用，“非偶联NOS”的生物学，NOS和NO的细胞生物学，NO信号的终止以及NO在疾病和治疗中的作用。教授蒙卡达，大师和瓦尔查夫斯基已同意目前全会讲座他们目前的研究结果，并将增加区别的会议。此外，还有两个突出的海报会议，从提交给会议的摘要中选出，还有一个特别的“热门话题”会议，鼓励新的或已建立的调查人员在最后一分钟提交令人兴奋的发现，最终奖励给几个初级调查人员。本次会议的主要优势是在高度集中但非正式的智力刺激气氛中进行跨学科互动的机会。关于NO的戈登会议在探索这一重要翻译领域的新前景方面发挥着至关重要的作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference on "Nitric Oxide (NO)" is designed to provide chemists, biologists, cell biologists, clinicians and other scientists with state of the art knowledge on the basic structure/function relationships of NO generating systems and the biology of NO as a signaling molecule in physiological and pathophysiological states. This research conference is held every two years and the next conference will take place at the Crowne Plaza, Ventura, California, on February 4-9, 2007. Approximately 135 participants from academia, government and industry are expected to attend the 2007 Gordon Research Conference. Funds are requested to partially support conference fees and/or travel costs of participants. The speakers have been selected by previous chairs, co-chairs and others in the field to cover emerging areas in the field and to balance the program with senior and junior investigators. Sessions will include NO generating/sensing pathways:structure and function; in vivo chemistry and actions of NO, the biology of "uncoupled NOS", cellular biology of NOS and NO, termination of NO signaling and the role of NO in disease and therapeutics. Professors Moncada, Masters and Varchavsky have agreed to present Plenary lectures on their current findings and will add distinction to the meeting. In addition, there are two prominently featured poster sessions selected from abstracts submitted to the meeting and a special "hot topics" session that encourages last minute submissions of exciting findings from new or established investigators culminating in awards given to several of the junior investigators. The main strength of this meeting is the opportunity for cross disciplinary interactions in a highly focused, yet informal intellectually stimulating atmosphere. The Gordon Conference on NO plays an essential role in exploring new vistas in this important translational field.
