2012 Oxygen Radicals Gordon Research Conference

描述(申请人提供)：“氧自由基”戈登会议旨在为化学家、生物学家、生物化学家、细胞生物学家、临床医生和其他生物医学科学家提供在人类病理生理学背景下关于活性氧物种的最新知识。这包括更传统的氧化损伤和抗氧化剂领域，但也包括越来越重要的氧化剂介导的氧化还原信号通过氧化剂与细胞信号通路的反应。本次研究会议每两年举行一次，自1981年以来已举办了15次。事实证明，根据大量申请者和强有力的会后评估，这些会议非常有成效。即将召开的会议包括：心血管病理学的氧化还原调节、活性氧物种的新检测策略、质谱学：氧化还原宇宙的新观点、线粒体：氧化还原细胞器、血红素蛋白和活性氮物种、癌症生物学中的氧化还原过程。被邀请的演讲者代表了肺、心血管疾病以及炎症和毒理学中自由基研究的当前和未来的领导者。此外，还为精选的摘要演示预留了13个演讲者时段。会议结束时的主旨演讲由该领域杰出的长期研究人员、自由基生物学和医学学会前主席Victor Darley-Usmar教授介绍。还安排了两次单独的海报会议，每次为期两天。 与公共健康相关：自由基和氧化剂与人类所有主要病理疾病有关，包括心血管疾病、癌症和神经退行性疾病。这次会议聚集了该领域的领先科学家，分享和讨论他们目前尚未发表的研究成果，这些研究成果将刺激新的努力，促进改善人类健康的新方法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The "Oxygen Radicals" Gordon Conference is designed to provide chemists, biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, clinicians, and other biomedical scientists with state-of-the-art knowledge on reactive oxygen species in the context of human pathophysiology. This encompasses the more traditional areas of oxidative damage and antioxidants, but also incorporates the growing importance of oxidant-mediated redox signaling through the reactions of oxidants with cellular signaling pathways. This research conference is held every two years and fifteen have been held since 1981. These meetings have proven to be extremely productive based on the large number of applicants and the strong post-meeting evaluations. The sessions for the upcoming meeting include: Redox modulation of Cardiovascular Pathology, Novel Detection Strategies for Reactive Oxygen Species, Mass spectrometry: A new view of the redox universe, Mitochondria: A redox organelle, Heme proteins and reactive nitrogen species, Redox processes in Cancer biology. The invited speakers represent current and future leaders in free radical research in pulmonary, cardiovascular disease and inflammation and toxicology. Additionally, there 13 speaker slots reserved for selected abstract presentations. A keynote lecture at the end of the conference is presented by outstanding long term investigator in the field, and past-president of the Society of Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Professor Victor Darley-Usmar. Two separate poster sessions of two days each are also scheduled. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Free radicals and oxidants have been implicated in all the major human pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The conference brings together the leading scientists in the field to share and discuss their current un-published research findings which will stimulate new endeavors and promote novel ways to improve human health.
