2013 Carbohydrate GRC

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案要求部分支持将于2013年6月16日至6月21日在佛蒙特州西多佛的雪山度假村举行的碳水化合物会议作为戈登研究会议。本次会议的持续广泛和长期目标是将来自化学和生化学科的糖科学家聚集在一起，展示和讨论他们最新的未发表的研究，目的是为碳水化合物研究领域定义新的基本问题和潜在的答案。本次会议的具体目标是：1)汇集了广泛的糖科学家，他们充分代表了当前和未来的碳水化合物科学界；2)创造一个环境，让碳水化合物研究领域的世界领袖和新星们能够展示他们的最新成果；3)组织一次会议，反映碳水化合物研究领域中最重要和新兴的领域。这一应用和碳水化合物戈登研究会议的意义在于，这次会议将提供一个独特的国际论坛，汇集具有化学和生物学背景的广泛的糖科学家。本应用程序与健康的关系是，所产生的讨论将有助于定义与基础和应用糖科学相关的重要问题。人们相信，这些问题的答案将最终导致新的基于碳水化合物的治疗和诊断的发展，用于广泛的人类疾病状态。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a meeting on Carbohydrates as a Gordon Research Conference to be held at Mount Snow Resort in West Dover, Vermont from June 16 to June 21 in the summer of 2013. The continuing broad and long-term goals of this conference are to bring together glyco-scientists from a range of chemical and biochemical disciplines to present and discuss their latest unpublished research with the aim of defining new fundamental questions and potential answers to the field of carbohydrate research. The specific aims of this meeting will be: 1) to bring together a broad spectrum of glyco-scientists who fully represent the current and future carbohydrate scientific community; 2) to create an environment where world leaders and raising stars in carbohydrate research can present their latest results; 3) to put together a conference that reflects the most important and emerging areas in carbohydrate research areas. The significances of this application and the Carbohydrate Gordon research conference are that this conference will provide a unique international forum to bring together wide range of glycoscientists with chemistry and biology backgrounds. The health relatedness of this application is that the discussions generated will help define important questions relating to basic and applied glycosciences. It is believed that the answering of these questions will ultimately lead to the development of new carbohydrate based therapeutic and diagnostics for a broad range of human disease states.
