DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Oxidative Stress and Disease is designed to provide scientists from a wide range of disciplines with the latest research findings on the role of oxidative stress in a variety of disease processes with emphasis on shared mechanisms. This research conference has been held every 2 years since 1999; it is part of over 150 conferences that will be organized in 2011 by the GRC, an organization internationally known for the high- quality, cutting edge nature of its meetings. Although a comparatively young GRC conference, attendance at the meeting has grown steadily since its inception over ten years ago. The 2011 GRC on Oxidative Stress and Disease will be held March 14-18, 2011 at the Sheraton Four Point/Holiday Inn Express in Ventura, CA. The program for the meeting described in this application has been assembled around the theme of "Emerging research areas in the study of oxidative stress and disease" which have recently collectively changed the way in which we think about the impact of oxidative stress on cellular mechanisms involved in human disease. These will include the impact of oxidative stress on, for example, epigenetics, microRNAs, stem cells, and mitochondrial dynamics. Findings associated with these novel areas of research are in turn likely to affect the manner in which basic research is translated into interventions for oxidative stress-related disorders. This Gordon Research Conference will bring together leading international experts with a broad range of interests related to diverse aspects of oxidative stress and disease and will create a high quality scientific forum for discussion of the latest findings on basic mechanisms and their translational implementation into interventions aimed at novel disease therapies. In addition, for the first time in the history of this conference, a pre-conference Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar will be organized by junior investigators at the postdoctoral level. Activities during the Seminar will be oriented to junior investigators and are intended to: (1) provide them with the basic background on common mechanisms involved in oxidative stress and disease necessary to maximize their understanding of the science which will be discussed in the subsequent conference, (2) receive feedback on their ongoing research projects from experts in the field, and (3) facilitate their interaction with senior members of this scientific community to promote networking between junior and more senior researchers in the field. We fully anticipate that the scientific discussions, research talks, poster sessions, and other informal interactions between the participants of this conference will contribute to advancing our understanding of novel molecular mechanisms involved in oxidative stress- related human disease and will set the basis for the development of collaborative interventions aimed at promoting new therapeutic treatments for these disorders. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Gordon Research Conference on Oxidative Stress and Disease together with the pre- meeting Gordon Kenan Research Seminar will bring together leaders in a variety of scientific disciplines relevant to the study of oxidative stress-related disorders and junior investigators constituting the future generation of researchers in this field. The scientific presentations, discussions and workshops during this conference are designed to expand our understanding of the mechanisms by which oxidative stress may contribute to disease processes. It is anticipated that the collegial and cooperative atmosphere that has traditionally characterized this conference will provide the perfect setting for the intellectual development and implementation of novel therapeutics for this set of related diseases.

描述(由申请人提供)：戈登氧化应激与疾病研究会议(GRC)旨在为来自广泛学科的科学家提供关于氧化应激在各种疾病过程中的作用的最新研究成果，重点是共同的机制。自1999年以来，该研究会议每两年举行一次；它是GRC将于2011年组织的150多个会议的一部分，GRC是一个国际知名的组织，以其会议的高质量和前沿性质而闻名。虽然GRC是一个相对年轻的会议，但自十多年前成立以来，出席人数一直在稳步增长。2011年氧化应激和疾病GRC将于2011年3月14日至18日在加利福尼亚州文图拉的喜来登Four Point/假日快捷酒店举行。本申请中描述的会议计划是围绕“氧化应激和疾病研究中的新兴研究领域”这一主题进行的，这些领域最近共同改变了我们对氧化应激对涉及人类疾病的细胞机制的影响的思考方式。这些将包括氧化应激对表观遗传学、microRNAs、干细胞和线粒体动力学的影响。与这些新研究领域相关的发现反过来可能会影响基础研究转化为对氧化应激相关障碍的干预的方式。本次戈登研究会议将汇聚对氧化应激和疾病的不同方面具有广泛兴趣的领先国际专家，并将创建一个高质量的科学论坛，讨论基本机制的最新发现，并将其转化为旨在新疾病疗法的干预措施。此外，在本次会议历史上，将首次由博士后级别的初级研究人员组织会前戈登-凯南研究研讨会。研讨会期间的活动将面向初级研究人员，其目的是：(1)向他们提供有关氧化应激和疾病所涉及的常见机制的基本背景，以便最大限度地加深他们对科学的理解，这将在随后的会议上讨论；(2)从该领域的专家那里获得对其正在进行的研究项目的反馈；以及(3)促进他们与该科学界的高级成员的互动，以促进该领域的初级和高级研究人员之间的联系。我们完全期待本次会议与会者之间的科学讨论、研究演讲、海报会议和其他非正式互动将有助于增进我们对与氧化应激相关的人类疾病相关的新分子机制的理解，并将为旨在促进这些疾病的新治疗方法的合作干预措施的开发奠定基础。 公共卫生相关性：戈登氧化应激与疾病研究会议以及会前戈登·凯南研究研讨会将汇集与氧化应激相关紊乱研究相关的各种科学学科的领导者和初级研究人员，构成该领域的未来一代研究人员。本次会议期间的科学报告、讨论和研讨会旨在扩大我们对氧化应激导致疾病过程的机制的理解。预计这次会议传统上的合作和合作氛围将为这一系列相关疾病的智力开发和新疗法的实施提供完美的环境。
