2018 Plasminogen Activation and Extracellular Proteolysis Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

摘要 资金寻求部分支持2018纤溶酶原激活和细胞外蛋白水解戈登 研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究生研讨会（GRS）。这些是配对会议 在同一地点依次举行，GRS于2月10日至11日举行，GRC于2018年2月11日至16日举行。 自1990年以来，GRC每两年连续举办一次，享有卓越的国际声誉。 名声我们将讨论纤溶酶原激活和细胞外蛋白水解的突破性发现， 血管生物学、中枢神经系统功能和功能障碍、创伤、痴呆、妊娠、组织 稳态和再生，造血，干细胞生物学，代谢和肥胖，肿瘤生物学， 心血管功能和血管生成。2018年会议的重点将放在翻译上。 科学将是构成本次会议概念框架的三个“T”的一部分： translational翻译，transitional过渡and technological技术.为了实现我们的翻译目标，将作出重大努力， 让医生和科学家讨论需要基础科学产生的特定知识的临床需求 研究人员要满足。过渡目标将使我们能够在我们的领域进行非常迫切的过渡 从高级研究人员到年轻的研究人员。因此，将作出重大努力， 重点是妇女、少数民族和那些没有机会展示他们的科学发现的人。 在过去的GRC会议上。为了实现技术目标，新技术的进步和切割- 将讨论蛋白酶领域新疗法的前沿。与会者将通过邀请和 从网上提交的申请。他们将被选中代表不同的研究人员， 特别强调妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与， 领导人和演讲者，以及海报演示者和与会者。相关的GRS是一个新功能 这将为年轻科学家提供一个分享GRC经验的独特机会。这个为期两天的 研讨会将由研究生和博士后研究员与领导的支持下组织 研究人员和GRC主席，并将允许初级研究人员在纤溶酶原激活和 细胞外蛋白水解走到一起，讨论他们目前的研究，同时建立非正式的网络 这可能会导致他们一生的合作和科学成就。

Abstract Funds are sought for partial support for the 2018 Plasminogen Activation and Extracellular Proteolysis Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Graduate Research Seminar (GRS). These are paired conferences held sequentially at the same location, on February 10-11 for the GRS, and February 11-16, 2018 for the GRC. The GRC has been held continuously every two years since 1990 and enjoys an outstanding international reputation. We will discuss breakthrough findings in plasminogen activation and extracellular proteolysis in vascular biology, central nervous system function and dysfunction, trauma, dementia, pregnancy, tissue homeostasis and regeneration, hematopoiesis, stem cell biology, metabolism and obesity, tumor biology, cardiovascular function, and angiogenesis. For the 2018 meeting, emphasis will be placed on Translational Science which will be part of the three "T's" that will constitute the conceptual framework for this conference: translational, transitional and technological. To accomplish our translational goal a major effort will be made to bring Physician-Scientists to discuss clinical needs that need specific knowledge generated by basic science researchers to be fulfilled. The transitional goal will allow us to make a very much-needed transition in our field from senior researchers to younger investigators. Thus, a major effort will be made to bring young investigators with emphasis on women, minorities and those who have no had the chance to present their scientific findings in past GRC meetings. To attain the technological objective novel technological advances and the cutting- edge in new therapies in the field of proteases will be discussed. Attendees will be selected by invitation and from applications submitted online. They will be chosen to represent a diverse spectrum of researchers, and a strong emphasis has been made on the inclusion of women and underrepresented minorities as Discussion Leaders and Speakers, as well as on Poster Presenters and Attendees. The associated GRS is a novel feature that will provide a unique opportunity for young scientists to share in the GRC experience. This two-day seminar will be organized by Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows with the support of leading researchers and the GRC Chair, and will allow junior researchers within the field of plasminogen activation and extracellular proteolysis to come together to discuss their current research, while building informal networks with their peers that may lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement.
