2007 Chronobiology Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：部分支持，要求为第15届戈登研究会议时间生物学，将于2007年5月6日至11日，在中心保罗朗之万，Aussois，法国。近年来，生物钟在时间生理调节中的重要性日益凸显，生物钟生理机制的研究也日益受到重视。认识到昼夜节律在人类健康和疾病中所起的关键作用，结合最近关于产生和调节昼夜节律系统的分子机制的里程碑式发现，导致了该领域的显着扩展。今天，时间生物学研究吸引了来自广泛学科的研究人员，包括神经科学，分子遗传学，光生物学，计算生物学和新陈代谢，以及睡眠医学，精神病学，肿瘤学和老年学。戈登时间生物学会议的目的是：1）提供一个讨论的论坛，并确定在迅速发展的时间生物学领域的一般原则。2)促进在时间生物学各个子学科工作的研究人员之间的互动，从而提高整个研究领域的一致性。3)加强年轻和成熟的研究人员之间的互动，从而维持高质量的时间生物学研究。4)通过汇集来自许多不同研究团体和国家的科学家，促进国家和国际合作。5)通过将使用模式生物的研究人员与在昼夜节律研究中研究人类受试者的研究人员聚集在一起，促进转化研究。会议将通过聚集大约150名科学家来实现这些目标，这些科学家包括来自不同国家，年龄组，性别和使用不同研究模型的个人。该计划将重点关注关键研究领域的新的和新兴的发展（见暂定计划）。按照非常成功的戈登会议的形式，讲座将在8个上午和晚上的会议与充足的时间进行讨论。四次海报会议将使与会者能够提出更多的数据。特别注意实现性别平衡（见讨论领导人），并包括来自非常不同学科的专家，以实现对我们的科学前沿的广泛理解和对未来机会的见解。结果将与改善睡眠、情感、认知、神经、代谢、内分泌和肿瘤疾病以及职业健康等功能障碍具有健康相关性。第15届戈登时间生物学研究会议将于2007年5月6日至11日在法国奥苏瓦Paul Langevin中心举行，需要部分支持。会议的目标是汇集一群领先的研究人员，专注于关键研究领域的新的和新兴的发展计划，以增加互动，促进合作，促进转化研究。结果将与改善睡眠、情感、认知、神经、代谢、内分泌和肿瘤疾病以及职业健康等功能障碍具有健康相关性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partial support is requested for the 15th Gordon Research Conference on Chronobiology, to be held on May 6- 11, 2007, at the Centre Paul Langevin, Aussois, France. In recent years, the significance of internal body clocks (circadian clocks) in regulating and adjusting temporal physiology has become increasingly clear and as a result, much effort has been devoted to the analysis of the mechanisms underlying circadian processes. Recognition of the key role played by circadian rhythms in human health and disease, combined with recent landmark discoveries regarding the molecular mechanisms that both generate and regulate the circadian system, has led to a remarkable expansion of the field. Today, chronobiological research attracts a host of researchers from a broad range of disciplines, including neuroscience, molecular genetics, photobiology, computational biology, and metabolism, as well as sleep medicine, psychiatry, oncology, and gerontology. The aims of the Gordon Conference on Chronobiology are: 1) To provide a forum for discussion and for identifying general principles in the rapidly expanding field of chronobiology. 2) To stimulate interactions among researchers working in the various sub-disciplines of chronobiology and thus enhance the coherence of the research field as a whole. 3) To intensify interactions between young and established researchers, and thus sustain high-quality chronobiological research. 4) To promote both national and international collaboration by bringing together scientists from many different research groups and countries. 5) To promote translational research by bringing together investigators employing model organisms with those studying human subjects in circadian research. The conference will achieve these goals by assembling approximately 150 scientists encompassing individuals from different countries, age groups, genders, and using different research models. The program will focus on new and emerging developments in key research areas (see Tentative Program). In accordance with the highly successful Gordon Conference format, lectures will be presented in 8 morning and evening sessions with ample time for discussion. Four poster sessions will allow participants to present additional data. Special attention has been given to achieving gender balance (see discussion leaders) and to including experts from very diverse disciplines to achieve a broadly-based understanding of the frontier of our science and insights as to future opportunities. Outcomes will have health relevance for ameliorating dysfunctions that manifest as sleep, affective, cognitive, neurological, metabolic, endocrine and oncological disorders and occupational health. Partial support is requested for the 15th Gordon Research Conference on Chronobiology, to be held on May 6-11, 2007, at the Centre Paul Langevin, Aussois, France. Conference objectives are to bring together a diverse group of leading researchers for a program focused on new and emerging developments in key research areas, in order to increase interactions, promote collaboration, and promote translational research. Outcomes will have health relevance for ameliorating dysfunctions that manifest as sleep, affective, cognitive, neurological, metabolic, endocrine and oncological disorders and occupational health.
