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

描述(由申请者提供)：戈登研究会议(GRC)关于植物脂类：结构、代谢和功能的会议将是一个令人兴奋的机会，分享关于营养、储存、膜和信号脂类研究的最新信息和方法。自2009年以来，本次研究会议每两年举行一次；这是GRC将于2013年组织的250多个会议之一，GRC是一个以高质量、前沿会议而闻名的国际组织。尽管2013年的会议将只是GRC关于植物类脂的第三次会议，但它被视为该领域的一次重要会议，已有143名科学家参加 2009年和2011年分别为127和127。2013年植物脂肪：结构、代谢和功能GRC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。会议的日程安排围绕“脂代谢和信号研究中的新兴研究领域”这一主题进行了安排。演讲将突出与生物医学密切相关的领域，重点阐述与疾病过程相关的脂类信号和脂类代谢机制，促进健康食品和补充剂生产的战略，以及新的脂类成像战略。植物脂类GRC将汇集致力于创建和传播新的研究工具的专家，发现通过脂类调节发育、生理和应激反应的基本范式，发展对脂类储存和动态平衡的新理解，对肥胖和糖尿病具有潜在的重要性，并努力生产促进健康的营养源。第一次，会议前的戈登研究研讨会(GRS)将由研究生和博士后级别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，其目的是提供(1)将在随后的会议上介绍的将加强对科学的理解的背景，(2)与该领域的同行和专家分享研究和建立网络的机会，以及(3)同行和专家对正在进行的研究的反馈和支持性建议。在2013年植物脂类GRC的科学讲座、海报会议、聚会和其他非正式互动中的讨论将刺激新的研究方向，并为协作互动提供基础，以促进对脂肪结构、新陈代谢、功能及其生物医学相关方面的研究。

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.
