2013 Plant Lipids:Structure, Metabolism & Function GRC/GRS

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登研究会议（GRC）植物脂质：结构，代谢和功能将是一个令人兴奋的机会，分享最新的信息和方法的营养，储存，膜和信号脂质的研究。该研究会议自2009年以来每两年举行一次;它是GRC组织的250多个会议之一，该组织以高质量，尖端会议而闻名。虽然2013年的会议将只是第三次植物脂质会议，但它被视为该领域的重要会议，有143名科学家参加 2009年127人，2011年127人。2013年植物脂质GRC：结构，代谢和功能将于2013年1月27日至2月1日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿的Galvez酒店举行。本次会议的主题是“脂质代谢和信号传导研究的新兴研究领域”。演讲将突出具有强烈生物医学相关性的领域，重点是阐明与疾病过程相关的脂质信号传导和脂质代谢机制，提高健康促进食品和补充剂生产的战略，以及新的脂质成像战略。植物脂质的GRC将汇集致力于创建和传播新的研究工具的专家，发现脂质介导的发育，生理学和应激反应调节的基本范式，开发对脂质储存和稳态的新理解，对肥胖和糖尿病具有潜在的重要性，并致力于生产促进健康的营养来源。第一次，会前戈登研究研讨会（GRS）将由研究生和博士后水平的初级研究人员组织。研讨会期间的活动将面向初级研究人员，旨在提供（1）背景知识，以提高对随后会议上提出的科学的理解，（2）分享研究成果并与该领域的同行和专家建立联系的机会，以及（3）同行和专家的反馈以及对正在进行的研究的支持性建议。在2013年植物脂质研讨会上的科学讲座、海报会、聚会和其他非正式互动中的讨论将激发新的研究方向，并为推进脂质结构、代谢和功能及其生物医学相关方面的研究的协作互动提供基础。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism, and Function will be an exciting opportunity to share the latest information on and approaches to the study of nutritional, storage, membrane, and signaling lipids. This research conference has been held every two years since 2009; it is one of over 250 conferences that will be organized in 2013 by the GRC, an organization internationally known for high-quality, cutting-edge meetings. Although the 2013 meeting will be only the third GRC on Plant Lipids, it is viewed as a vital meeting in this field, having been attended by 143 scientists in 2009 and 127 in 2011. The 2013 GRC on Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism, and Function will be held January 27 to February 1, 2013 at the Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas. The program for the meeting was assembled around the theme of "Emerging research areas in the study of lipid metabolism and signaling". Presentations will highlight areas of strong biomedical relevance, focusing on elucidation of lipid signaling and lipid metabolic mechanisms relevant to disease processes, strategies to enhance production of health-promoting foods and supplements, and new lipid imaging strategies. The GRC on Plant Lipids will bring together experts working to create and disseminate new research tools, discovering fundamental paradigms for lipid-mediated regulation of development, physiology, and stress responses, developing new understanding of lipid storage and homeostasis with potential importance to obesity and diabetes, and working to produce sources of nutrition that promote health. For the first time, a pre-conference Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be organized by junior investigators at the graduate student and postdoctoral levels. Activities during the seminar will be oriented to junior investigators and are intended to provide (1) background that will enhance understanding of science presented at the subsequent conference, (2) opportunities to share research and to network with peers and experts in the field, and (3) peer and expert feedback and supportive suggestions about ongoing research. Discussions at the scientific talks, poster sessions, get-togethers, and other informal interactions at the 2013 GRC on Plant Lipids will stimulate new research directions and provide underpinnings for collaborative interactions that advance the study of lipid structure, metabolism, and function and its biomedically relevant aspects.
