ABSTRACT The Gordon Research Conference on Glial Biology: Functional Interactions Among Glia and Neurons will host its 9th meeting in 2019 in Ventura, California. This conference brings together a diverse group of established investigators and young trainees from around the world and is widely considered the preeminent forum devoted to the topic of glial cells in health and disease. The overarching aim of the GRC on Glial Biology is to discuss cutting edge research focused on glial cell development, functional interactions between glia and other cell types and the contributions of glial cells to disease and other disorders of the nervous system. The 2019 meeting will emphasize emerging information about the molecular diversity of glial cells, between and within glial cell classes, developmental stages and disease stages. This meeting will also highlight state-of-the-art technologies that have the potential to greatly expand the ability to selectively visualize and manipulate distinct glial cell types, to gain greater insight into the diverse roles of glia in a variety of contexts. The meeting will host presentations from 41 Speakers in sessions led by 18 Discussion Leaders, representing both influential, established scientists and young investigators just beginning to embark on their independent research careers. More than half of the speakers are woman, and greater than 30% of the Speakers are young investigators within five years of establishing their own laboratories. Of note, two established female scientists will lead a timely and important discussion session (“Power Hour”) entitled Creating an inclusive lab environment: Preventing and addressing harassment and discrimination”. Participation by underrepresented minorities is being actively solicited and will be supported by available funds, and inclusion of investigators and trainees from all people groups, including underrepresented minorities and those with disabilities, will be a top priority. The support of this grant is critical to maximize trainee participation, as it funds not only the GRC, but also the trainee-led Gordon Research Seminar on Glial Biology, which will host its 3rd meeting just prior to the GRC. The GRS provides an opportunity for young scientists (graduate students and postdocs) in the field to share ideas, receive mentorship and present their work in progress via platform or poster presentations. In both the GRC and GRS, designated sessions will focus on the development and function of glia in neural circuitry and metabolic support in both the healthy and diseased brain and the broader nervous system. The dissemination of cutting edge research findings and extensive training opportunities for junior scientists enabled by this meeting are highly pertinent to the overall mission of the NIH.

摘要 戈登神经胶质生物学研究会议：神经胶质和神经胶质之间的功能相互作用 Neurons将于2019年在加州文图拉举办第9次会议。这次会议汇集 一个由来自世界各地的知名调查人员和年轻学员组成的多元化团队， 被广泛认为是致力于健康和疾病中神经胶质细胞主题的杰出论坛。 GRC对神经胶质生物学的总体目标是讨论前沿研究，重点是 神经胶质细胞发育，神经胶质细胞和其他细胞类型之间的功能相互作用， 神经胶质细胞对神经系统疾病和其他病症的贡献。2019年 会议将强调有关神经胶质细胞分子多样性的新信息， 在神经胶质细胞类别、发育阶段和疾病阶段之间和之内。本次会议 还将突出国家的最先进的技术，有可能大大扩大 能够选择性地可视化和操纵不同的神经胶质细胞类型，以更深入地了解 神经胶质在各种环境中的不同作用。会议将举办来自41个国家的演讲。 在由18位讨论领导人领导的会议上发言，代表有影响力的，建立了 科学家和年轻的研究人员刚刚开始他们的独立研究， careers.半数以上的发言者是妇女，30%以上的发言者是 年轻的研究人员在五年内建立了自己的实验室。值得注意的是， 知名女科学家将主持一个及时而重要的讨论会（“权力时间”） 题为“创造包容性的实验室环境：防止和解决骚扰和 歧视”。正在积极争取代表性不足的少数群体参加， 得到可用资金的支持，并包括来自所有人的调查人员和受训人员 包括代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人在内的弱势群体将是最优先事项。 这笔赠款的支持对于最大限度地提高受训人员的参与至关重要，因为它不仅为 GRC，也是受训者领导的戈登神经胶质生物学研究研讨会，将举办第三届 就在GRC之前。GRS为年轻科学家（研究生）提供了机会。 学生和博士后）在该领域分享想法，接受指导，并介绍他们的工作， 通过平台或海报展示取得进展。在GRC和GRS中，指定会议 将集中在神经回路和代谢支持神经胶质细胞的发展和功能， 健康和患病的大脑以及更广泛的神经系统。传播 为年轻科学家提供尖端研究成果和广泛的培训机会 与NIH的总体使命高度相关。
