This proposal requests partial support to facilitate the attendance and participation of early career scientists to the Gordon Research Conference on Cellular and Molecular Fungal Biology to be held at the Holderness School, June 19-24, 2016. Fungi are major causes of morbidity especially among immunocompromised patient populations and yet the arsenal of treating fungal infections is limited. Insight into the mechanisms of fungal reproduction and interactions with hosts and other microbes is essential for the advancement of treatment against fungal infections. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to disseminate information about fungal pathogenesis and biology among an interdisciplinary group of researchers, and to increase our collective understanding of basic fungal biology and its application to medically important problems. The specific aim of this meeting will be to convene 52 speakers who represent the leading edge of fungal research, including established leaders in the field and up-and-coming early career researchers. A total of ca. 130-140 participants, most of whom will present posters, will gather for a five-day conference in a setting with few distractions. The oral and poster sessions are designed to emphasize discussion and networking, and evaluations from past conferences demonstrate the effectiveness of this format. The 2016 meeting will combine the core topics that underpin this area of research with newly emerging research topics, such as sessions focusing on biophysics and mathematical modeling, pathogenesis, symbiosis, environmental stress responses and fungal community interactions. These topics are all integral to understanding fungal pathogenesis and to develop novel therapeutics. The significance of this application is the demonstrated effect of this conference in accelerating research in the national and international fungal biology community, particularly in the areas of fungal-host interactions, evolution, and microbial communities that directly impact on endeavors such as fungal disease treatment and the development of anti-fungal therapeutics.

该提案要求提供部分支持，以便利早期职业科学家出席和参与， 戈登细胞和分子真菌生物学研究会议将在荷兰举行 学校，2016年6月19日至24日。真菌是发病的主要原因，特别是在免疫功能低下的患者中 然而，治疗真菌感染的武器库有限。深入了解真菌的作用机制 繁殖以及与宿主和其他微生物的相互作用对于治疗的进步至关重要 对抗真菌感染会议的广泛和长期目标是传播信息 关于真菌的发病机理和生物学之间的跨学科研究小组，并增加我们的 对基本真菌生物学及其在医学上重要问题的应用的集体理解。的 本次会议的具体目标将是召集52位代表真菌前沿的发言人， 研究，包括在该领域的既定领导者和崭露头角的早期职业研究人员。共CA。 130-140名与会者，其中大多数将提交海报，将聚集在一个为期五天的会议， 很少分心。口头和海报会议的目的是强调讨论和网络， 对以往会议的评价表明了这一格式的有效性。2016年会议将 联合收割机将支撑这一研究领域的核心主题与新兴研究主题相结合，例如 会议侧重于生物物理学和数学建模，发病机制，共生，环境压力 反应和真菌群落相互作用。这些主题都是理解真菌 发病机制和开发新的治疗方法。这一应用的意义是证明了 本次会议在加速国家和国际真菌生物学界研究方面的作用， 特别是在真菌-宿主相互作用、进化和微生物群落等领域， 对真菌疾病治疗和抗真菌药物开发等工作的影响 治疗学
