DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Phagocytes has been in existence since 1981. The 17th GRC on Phagocytes will be held June 9-14, 2013 at Waterville Valley Resort, Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. Although the central role of macrophages and neutrophils in innate immunity has long been recognized, the field continues to evolve. Thus, whereas conferences 20 years ago focused on fundamental aspects of phagocyte structure and function, such as elucidation of the composition of neutrophil granules, and discovery of the NADPH oxidase, the 2013 Phagocytes GRC will be a forum for high-quality presentations and in depth discussions of the most recent discoveries in phagocyte biology, and will highlight the latest advances in our understanding of the phenotypic plasticity o these cells, and their roles in modulation of the adaptive immune response, systemic inflammation and host defense, as well as clinical correlates such as the roles of phagocytes in cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease, including recently identified therapeutic targets, and the use of phagosomes as tools for vaccinology. Featured technological achievements will include advanced imaging techniques for analysis of neutrophil migration in vivo and reverse engineering intracellular information flow to understand cell polarity. The Conference draws from a world-wide group of scientists with diverse backgrounds in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, microbiology, immunology and clinical medicine. This meeting has consistently been an important venue for disseminating information and facilitating communication between investigators studying different facets of macrophage and neutrophil function, and also provides a general educational forum for trainees and young investigators. Approximately 150 scientists attended this GRC, and in 2011, ~39% of whom were graduate students or postdoctoral fellows. The program planned for the 2013 GRC includes nine sessions wherein 26 invited speakers will present their latest and most exciting unpublished findings. Each session will be chaired by discussion leaders who are experts in the field. In keeping with tradition, we also plan to select 6-8 junior scientists to present short talks based on submitted abstracts. Each lecture will be followed by ample time for vigorous discussion. In addition to oral presentations, we expect 90 posters to be displayed at the meeting. This multifaceted program will provide opportunities for participation of scientists at all levels and is designed to promote the participation of junior investigators, postdoctoral trainees and new investigators to the field To further promote the participation and professional development of students and postdoctoral fellows, the 2013 Conference will incorporate a Gordon Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) on June 8-9, immediately prior to the start of the GRC, that is organized by trainees. The first two such GRSs were held in association with the 2009 and 2011 Phagocytes GRCs and have been well attended and very well received. We anticipate even greater attendance in 2013.

描述（由申请人提供）：自1981年以来，戈登吞噬细胞研究会议（GRC）一直存在。第17届吞噬细胞GRC将于2013年6月9日至14日在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔谷的沃特维尔谷度假村举行。虽然巨噬细胞和中性粒细胞在先天免疫中的核心作用早已被认识到，但该领域仍在不断发展。因此，20年前的会议集中在吞噬细胞结构和功能的基本方面，例如中性粒细胞颗粒的组成的阐明，以及NADPH氧化酶的发现，2013年吞噬细胞GRC将是一个高质量的论坛，并深入讨论吞噬细胞生物学的最新发现，并将突出我们对这些细胞的表型可塑性的理解的最新进展，以及它们在适应性免疫反应，全身炎症和宿主防御的调节中的作用，以及临床相关性，如吞噬细胞在癌症、关节炎和阿尔茨海默病中的作用，包括最近确定的治疗靶点，以及吞噬体作为疫苗学工具的用途。特色技术成果将包括先进的成像技术，用于分析体内中性粒细胞迁移和逆向工程细胞内信息流，以了解细胞极性。会议吸引了来自世界各地的科学家，他们在细胞生物学，生物化学，分子遗传学，微生物学，免疫学和临床医学方面具有不同的背景。该会议一直是传播信息和促进研究人员之间研究巨噬细胞和中性粒细胞功能的不同方面的沟通的重要场所，也为学员和年轻研究人员提供了一个一般的教育论坛。大约有150名科学家参加了这个GRC，在2011年，其中约39%是研究生或博士后研究员。2013年GRC计划的项目包括九个会议，其中26位受邀演讲者将介绍他们最新和最令人兴奋的未发表的研究结果。每次会议将由该领域的专家主持。为了保持传统，我们还计划选择6-8名年轻科学家根据提交的摘要进行简短的演讲。每堂课之后都将有充足的时间进行热烈的讨论。联合口服 我们预计会在会议上展示90张海报。这一多方面的方案将为各级科学家提供参与的机会， 初级研究人员，博士后学员和新的研究人员的参与该领域为了进一步促进学生和博士后研究员的参与和专业发展，2013年会议将于6月8日至9日举行戈登研究生研究研讨会（GRS），就在GRC开始之前，由学员组织。前两个这样的GRS与2009年和2011年的吞噬细胞GRC联合举行，并得到了很好的参与和好评。我们预计2013年的出席人数会更多。
