2013 Viruses and Cells Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：病毒和细胞戈登研究会议（GRC）是病毒学领域的首要会议。会议规模很小（少于200名参与者），但报告涵盖了广泛的病毒，并讨论了病毒学的广泛主题。这些主题包括病毒进入、复制、组装和出口；细胞内机制的操纵和利用；对宿主固有、先天和适应性免疫系统的刺激和逃避；发病机制；病毒的进化和出现；以及治疗方法和疫苗的开发和部署。2013年会议将于5月5日至10日在意大利巴尔加的GRC会议地点Il Ciocco举行。特邀演讲者将介绍病毒与被感染细胞和生物体的动态相互作用的最新发现，以及宿主的抗病毒反应。根据其在每一届会议所涵盖的主题方面的专业知识选出的讨论主持人将在每次发言后进行生动和公开的讨论，这是grc的核心和重要主题。除了邀请的演讲者外，还将从提交给海报会议的摘要中选择较短的演讲。将选择突出病毒研究中令人兴奋的新发展，重点展示年轻的科学家，包括新的研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生。在简短的会谈之后，还将由讨论领导人主持积极的讨论。晚上的海报会议也是病毒和细胞GRC的一个重要和突出的方面。这些会议提供了一个轻松开放的环境，参与者可以在其中展示和讨论他们的研究。会议参与者将包括在该领域做出开创性贡献的知名和备受尊敬的研究人员，开展独立研究事业的年轻研究人员，博士后研究员和研究生以及来自行业的研究人员。要求提供资金，以部分支持与会者的会议费用和旅费，特别是被邀请作为演讲者或讨论主持人的年轻研究人员，以及有前途的新研究人员、博士后研究员、研究生和来自发展中国家的研究人员，他们将进行简短的演讲。这次会议的成功和持久影响源于它促进了病毒学新思想和新发现的自由交流，并促进了新的和富有成果的科学合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Viruses and Cells Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is the premier meeting in the field of virology. The conference is small in size (<200 participants), but the presentations cover a wide range of viruses and address a breadth of topics in virology. These topics include virus entry, replication, assembly and egress; the manipulation and exploitation of the intracellular machinery; the stimulation and evasion of the host's intrinsic, innate and adaptive immune systems; mechanisms of pathogenesis; viral evolution and emergence; and the development and deployment of therapeutics and vaccines. The 2013 meeting will held at Il Ciocco, the GRC conference site in Barga, Italy from May 5 to 10. Invited speakers will present cutting-edge findings about the dynamic interactions of viruses with the cells and organisms they infect, as well as the host's arsenal of antiviral responses. Discussion leaders, chosen for their expertise in the topics covered in each session, will lead lively and open discussions following each presentation, which is a central and vital theme of the GRCs. In addition to the invited speakers, shorter talks will be chosen from the abstracts submitted for the poster sessions. Selections will be made to highlight exciting new developments in virus research, with an emphasis on showcasing younger scientists, including new investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. The short talks will also be followed by active discussions led by the discussion leaders. The evening poster sessions, too, are an important and prominent aspect of the Viruses and Cells GRC. These sessions provide a relaxed and open environment in which participants can present and discuss their research. Meeting participants will include established and highly regarded investigators who have made seminal contributions to the field, young investigators launching independent research careers, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, and investigators from industry. Funding is requested to provide partial support for conference fees and travel costs for participants, in particular for young investigators who have been invited as speakers or discussion leaders, as well as for promising new investigators, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and investigators from developing nations who will present short talks. The success and lasting impact of this meeting stems from its promotion of the free exchange of new ideas and discoveries in virology and the fostering of new and fruitful scientific collaborations.
