FASEB Summer Research Conference 2009

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请申请为FASEB夏季会议提供支持，题为胃肠道XIII：胃肠道发育、生理学、炎症和宿主防御的分子和细胞生物学。S. Sitaraman, C . taylor和W. Lencer联合主席)。为期5天的会议将是一系列两年一次的会议中的第13次，在过去的24年里，这些会议为胃肠道健康和疾病相关领域研究前沿的科学家提供了一个密集而亲密的演讲、讨论和交流思想的场所。它还为年轻科学家和博士后提供了一个与该领域的知名研究人员会面、生活和合作的场所。2009年计划的主题是肠粘膜中不同类型的细胞如何定义上皮屏障，它们如何与肠腔的原核微生物组相关，以及它们如何在结构和功能上相互关联。会议将于2009年8月9日至14日在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯举行。斯诺马斯会议中心是FASEB会议的一个完善的场地，设备齐全，非常适合支持这次会议。37名发言人和会议主席已确定。计划举行三次海报会议，一个下午将专门为年轻研究人员举办职业发展研讨会，由NIH和CCFA的高级官员领导。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for a FASEB Summer Conference entitled Gastrointestinal Tract XIII: Molecular and Cell Biology of Development, Physiology, Inflammation, and Host defense of the Gastrointestinal tract (Drs. S. Sitaraman, C, Tayor, and W. Lencer co-chairs). The 5 day conference will be the 13th in a series of biennial meetings that over the last 24 years has provided an intense and intimate venue for presentation, discussion, and exchange of ideas among scientists at the forefront of research in fields related to gastrointestinal health and disease. It also provides a venue for young scientists and post-doctoral fellows to meet, live, and work together with established investigators in the field. The topic of the 2009 program is on how the diverse cell types in the intestinal mucosa define the epithelial barrier, how they relate to the prokaryotic microbiome of the intestinal lumen, and how they relate to each other structurally and functionally. The conference will be held from August 9-14, 2009 in Snowmass Colorado. The Snowmass Conference Center is a well-established site for FASEB conferences and is fully equipped and well suited to support this meeting. Thirty-seven speakers and session chairs are confirmed. Three poster sessions are planned and an afternoon will be devoted to a Career Development Workshop for young investigators lead by senior officials from the NIH and CCFA.
