2007 Nitric Oxide Gordon Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 戈登一氧化氮(NO)研究会议旨在为化学家、生物学家、细胞生物学家、临床医生和其他科学家提供关于NO生成系统的基本结构/功能关系以及NO作为生理和病理生理状态下的信号分子的生物学方面的最新知识。本次研究会议每两年举行一次，下一次会议将在文图拉皇冠假日酒店举行， 加利福尼亚州，2007年2月4日至9日。预计将有来自学术界、政府和工业界的约135名与会者参加2007年戈登研究会议。请拨资金部分用于支付与会者的会议费和(或)旅费。演讲者由前任主席、联合主席和外地其他人挑选，以涵盖外地新兴领域，并与高级和初级调查人员平衡方案。会议内容包括：NO的产生/感知途径：结构和功能；体内化学和NO的作用；“非偶联一氧化氮合酶”的生物学；一氧化氮合酶和一氧化氮的细胞生物学；一氧化氮信号的终止以及一氧化氮在疾病和治疗中的作用。蒙卡达教授、马斯特斯教授和瓦恰夫斯基教授已同意就他们目前的发现发表全会演讲，并将为会议增添光彩。此外，还有从提交给会议的摘要中挑选出来的两个突出的专题海报会议和一个特别的“热门话题”会议，鼓励新的或现有的调查人员在最后一刻提交令人兴奋的调查结果，最终向几名初级调查人员颁发奖项。这次会议的主要优势是有机会在高度集中但非正式的智力刺激气氛中进行跨学科互动。戈登关于NO的会议在探索这一重要翻译领域的新前景方面发挥了至关重要的作用。

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.
