DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Signal Transduction By Engineered Extracellular Matrices was established in 2000 and has become the premier meeting at the intersection of engineered materials, cellular adhesion and signaling, tissue engineering, and stem cell biology. The 2014 meeting, to be held July 6-11, 2014, at Bentley University in Waltham, MA, adds another important dimension - enhancing complexity of microenvironments and tools to understand cell/matrix interactions. The meeting Chair will be Dr. Jason Burdick and the Vice-Chair will be Dr. Linda Griffith. The main objective of the conference will be to share the newest knowledge from research on: the establishment and regulation of the cellular microenvironment during development and in postnatal tissues; how the cellular microenvironment can be engineered to control cell function; how the fate of cells can be dynamically tracked in vivo; and how such insights can be applied to the development and optimization of human clinical therapies for tissue repair and regeneration. Thus, this meeting necessarily brings together researchers in diverse fields of biology (including stem cell and developmental biology), chemistry, bioimaging and engineering for both the understanding of cellular function and how this can be harnessed for the repair and replacement of tissues lost or damaged due to disease or injury, which serves to encourage cross-disciplinary thinking. Speakers will include well-established leaders in the field as well as young emerging investigators, including those that are invited to present based on abstract submissions. The main conference will also be preceded by a weekend meeting planned by and for pre- doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in this growing interdisciplinary field. This pre-meeting, the Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar, will provide a forum for these future leaders in the field to present their work in talks and posters, in a collegial and interactive environment that will add outstanding value to their overall GRC experience. Overall, the meeting will provide a platform for the development of long term interdisciplinary interactions, and expose students and young professionals to the latest ideas and opportunities at the confluence of signal transduction, molecular and cellular biology, biomaterials and tissue engineering.

描述（由申请人提供）：Gordon Research Conference（GRC）on Signal Transduction By Engineered Extracellular Matrices成立于2000年，已成为工程材料、细胞粘附和信号传导、组织工程和干细胞生物学交叉领域的首要会议。2014年会议将于2014年7月6日至11日在马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆的Bentley大学举行，增加了另一个重要方面-提高微环境和工具的复杂性，以了解细胞/基质相互作用。会议主席为Jason Burdick博士，副主席为琳达格里菲斯博士。会议的主要目的将是分享来自以下研究的最新知识：在发育过程中和出生后组织中细胞微环境的建立和调节;如何设计细胞微环境以控制细胞功能;如何在体内动态跟踪细胞的命运;以及如何将这些见解应用于组织修复和再生的人类临床疗法的开发和优化。因此，这次会议必然汇集了生物学（包括干细胞和发育生物学），化学，生物成像和工程学不同领域的研究人员，以了解细胞功能以及如何利用细胞功能修复和替换因疾病或损伤而丢失或受损的组织，这有助于鼓励跨学科思维。发言者将包括该领域的知名领导人以及年轻的新兴调查人员，包括那些应邀根据摘要提交的人。在主会议之前，还将举行一个周末会议，由这个不断发展的跨学科领域的博士前和博士后学员计划。这个会前，戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会，将提供一个论坛，为这些未来的领导者在该领域提出他们的工作在会谈和海报，在一个合议和互动的环境，这将增加突出的价值，他们的整体GRC经验。总的来说，会议将为长期跨学科互动的发展提供一个平台，并使学生和年轻的专业人士接触到信号转导，分子和细胞生物学，生物材料和组织工程融合的最新想法和机会。
