2016 Bones & Teeth Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

 描述(由申请人提供)：2016年骨与牙齿戈登研究会议以及会前戈登研究研讨会将汇集高级和初级研究人员，他们是各种相互关联和相互关联的学科的领导者，对于全面和全面地研究和了解骨骼和牙齿及其后天和先天性疾病是必不可少的。将把重点放在代表这些领域未来研究人员的初级调查人员和受训人员身上。整个会议的科学报告、正式和非正式讨论以及海报介绍旨在扩大对骨骼和牙齿正常发育和维持的遗传、分子和细胞机制和过程的了解，这些过程在疾病期间如何变化，以及它们如何促进--并正在促进--新思维，以制定治疗骨骼疾病和修复或再生骨骼和牙齿的有效战略。鉴于其形式，会议提供了一个论坛，供广泛的讨论和对话、互动、联网、审议新的假设和未得到满足的研究需要，以及对青年研究人员和受训人员特别有用的职业考虑。在过去的几年里，在骨骼和牙齿的研究中产生了新的、非常重要和深远的发现，更加深入地阐明了它们的生物学、结构和功能的绝对复杂性，确定了新的局部和系统调节相互作用、相互作用和回路，并发现了以前在组织健康和疾病中未被怀疑的成分和参与者。2016年大会将利用所有这些新的和重要的发现，旨在为与会者提供：对骨骼和牙齿的生物和生理复杂性的更广泛的认识和展望；目前正在测试的治疗策略的具体和直接的例子；以及考虑和讨论未来的治疗策略的机会。戈登会议一贯的合议和合作气氛将为智力开发和刺激提供完美的环境，并推动骨骼和牙齿的研究领域朝着更大的研究成果和更有效的疾病治疗迈进。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2016 Bones & Teeth Gordon Research Conference together with the pre-meeting Gordon Research Seminar will bring together senior and junior investigators who are leaders in a variety of interconnected and interrelated disciplines essential for a comprehensive and encompassing study and understanding of bones and teeth and their acquired and congenital disorders. Great emphasis will be on the junior investigators and trainees who represent the future researchers in these fields. The scientific presentations, formal and informal discussions and poster presentations throughout the Conference are designed to expand the understanding of the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms and processes by which bones and teeth develop and are maintained normally, how these processes change during disease and how they have facilitated -and are facilitating- new thinking towards development of effective strategies to treat skeletal diseases and repair or regenerate bones and teeth. Given its format, the Conference provides a forum for extended discussions and conversations, interactions, networking, considerations of novel hypotheses and unmet research needs, and career considerations particularly useful for the young investigators and trainees. The last few years have produced novel, very important and far-reaching discoveries in bone and tooth research, have clarified in ever greater depth the sheer complexity of their biology, structure and function, have identified novel local and systemic regulatory interactions, interplays and circuits, and have unearthed previously unsuspected constituents and players in both tissue health and disease. The 2016 Conference will leverage all these new and important findings and aims to provide the attendees with: a broader appreciation and prospective of the biological and physiological complexity of bones and teeth; tangible and direct examples of therapeutic strategies being tested at the moment; and opportunities for consideration and discussion of future ones. The collegial and cooperative atmosphere that invariably characterizes a Gordon Conference will provide a perfect setting for intellectual development and stimulation and impetus to move the research fields on bones and teeth ahead toward ever greater research achievements and ever more effective disease treatments.
