Keystone Symposium: Eicosanoid Lipid Mediators

描述(由申请人提供)：为参加2003年3月11日至16日在加利福尼亚州塔霍市Granlibakken度假村举行的多学科会议的学生和博士后提供支持，该会议涉及二十烷类脂类介体的分子生物学、遗传学和治疗应用方面的进展。2003年Keystone会议的目标将是将二十烷类化合物最先进的基础生物学，包括生物化学、药理学以及结构和遗传生物学，与将这一知识应用于人类治疗学结合起来。这次会议将鼓励不同学术学科和行业演讲者在非正式和友好的气氛中建立科学联系，有利于分享最新数据和建立进一步的合作。提议的全体讲师凯伦·塞伯特既是一位杰出的基础和工业科学家，也是年轻女性的杰出榜样。主要组织者是一名女性，届时将有女性和少数族裔演讲者的精彩演讲和互动演讲、二十烷类琐事测验、海报奖品和特别的社交活动，以鼓励最大限度的科学和社会互动。NIH对这次会议的支持将允许更多的研究生和博士后参与到这个令人兴奋的多学科会议中。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for student and postdoctoral attendance at a multidisciplinary conference covering advances in molecular biology, genetics and therapeutic application in eicosanoid lipid mediators, to be held at Granlibakken Resort, Tahoe City, California on March 11-16, 2003. The goal of the Keystone meeting in 2003 will be to combine state-of-the-art basic biology on eicosanoids, including biochemistry, pharmacology and structural and genetic biology, with application of this knowledge to human therapeutics. This meeting will encourage scientific networking amongst different academic disciplines and industrial speakers in an informal andfriendly atmosphere conducive to sharing latest data and building further collaborations. Theproposed plenary lecturer Karen Seibert is both an outstanding basic and industrial scientist and agreat role model for young women. The key organizer is a woman and there will be a strongrepresentation of women and minority speakers and interactive talks, eicosanoid trivia quizzes,poster prizes and special social events to encourage maximum scientific and social interactions.NIH support for this meeting will allow more graduate student and postdoctoral participation in.this exciting multidisciplinary meeting.
