DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2011 Molecular Membrane Biology Gordon Conference in Andover, New Hampshire will cover recent advances in organelle biology and membrane traffic, including protein secretion, mitochondrial function, lipid biology, autophagy, and pathogen invasion of cells. Over its 27- year history, this conference has contributed to and witnessed tremendous progress in understanding key roles of organelles in biological processes such as cell growth, development, signal transduction and protein degradation. Importantly, mechanisms underlying membrane trafficking pathways have now provided insights on numerous familial diseases and health related issues. Current progress is advancing through an explosion of new methodology including high throughput screening, super resolution microscopy and advanced biophysical methods. These and other late-breaking discoveries will be covered at the 2011 conference. The meeting program will optimally balance presentations to include scientists in the early stages of their careers, to include members of groups underrepresented in the field, as well as established investigators. Thirty-four invited speakers have been invited to participate in the conference and an additional eighteen speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts. The overarching goals of the meeting are to advance knowledge on significant topics in molecular membrane biology and to cultivate the next generation of scientists who will lead the field into important new frontiers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Molecular Membrane Biology Gordon Conference brings together the world's leading scientists in the broad field of membrane biology. Over its 27-year history, the meeting has been a part of numerous discoveries that impact issues relevant to human health and disease. The 2011 meeting will continue to explore basic questions related to public health, enhance the professional development of junior scientists, and strengthen the future of NIH sponsored research.

描述（由申请人提供）：2011年分子膜生物学戈登会议将在新罕布什尔州安多弗举行，会议将涵盖细胞器生物学和膜交通的最新进展，包括蛋白质分泌、线粒体功能、脂质生物学、自噬和病原体入侵细胞。在27年的历史中，该会议在理解细胞器在细胞生长、发育、信号转导和蛋白质降解等生物过程中的关键作用方面做出了贡献，并见证了巨大的进步。重要的是，膜运输途径的机制现在为许多家族疾病和健康相关问题提供了见解。目前的进展是通过新方法的爆炸式发展，包括高通量筛选，超分辨率显微镜和先进的生物物理方法。这些和其他最新发现将在2011年的会议上讨论。会议计划将最佳地平衡发言，以包括处于职业生涯早期阶段的科学家，包括在该领域代表性不足的群体的成员，以及成熟的研究人员。已邀请34位特邀发言者参加会议，并将从提交的摘要中选出另外18位发言者。会议的首要目标是推进分子膜生物学重要主题的知识，培养下一代科学家，他们将领导该领域进入重要的新领域。
