项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Seventeenth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Fertilization and the Activation of Development will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of new developments and ideas in this exciting, rapidly advancing field. This meeting will be held at the Holderness School, Plymouth, New Hampshire, July 12 - July 17, 2009. This conference has been held every two years since 1974. It is the only Gordon Research Conference concerned with the interaction of the male and the female gametes in the vital process of fertilization and activation of the fertilized egg to begin the process of embryo formation. It provides a venue for the interaction of biochemists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, physiologists, geneticists, and biophysicists working in the field. This conference has been singularly successful in fostering collaborations among scientists with widely disparate experience and seniority and, among research laboratories in this country and in Europe, Japan, Australia and Latin America. These collaborations have borne many fruitful results. There will be nine sessions in the conference, following the Gordon Research Conference format. They are: 1) Gamete Differentiation. 2) Sperm epididymal maturation and capacitation. 3) New approaches to gamete and embryo biology. 4) Fertilization and activation of development. 5) Sperm flagellar regulation. 6) Egg and embryo polarity. 7) Key Note Lecture - Evolution of gamete recognition proteins. 8) Egg envelopes and the sperm acrosome reaction. 9) Embryogenesis and epigenetics. These sessions will include both scheduled speakers and possibly some selected short talks chosen from posters. Particular emphasis has been placed on junior scientists, including postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Gordon Research Conference on Fertilization and the Activation of Development is concerned with the interaction of sperm and eggs in the vital process of fertilization and activation of the fertilized egg to begin the process of embryo formation, which are key processes underlying human fertility. It provides a venue for the interaction of biochemists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, physiologists, geneticists, and biophysicists working in the field. The conference will promote collaborations to address human infertility, activation of embryonic development, stem cell biology, and contraception among US and international scientists with widely disparate experiences/seniority, methodologies, and model systems.

描述（由申请人提供）：第十七届戈登研究会议（GRC）施肥和激活的发展将提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论新的发展和想法，在这个令人兴奋的，迅速推进的领域。本次会议将于2009年7月12日至7月17日在新罕布什尔州普利茅斯的霍洛维茨学校举行。该会议自1974年以来每两年举行一次。这是唯一的戈登研究会议关注的是男性和女性配子在受精和激活受精卵的重要过程中的相互作用，以开始胚胎形成过程。它为生物化学家、细胞生物学家、分子生物学家、生理学家、遗传学家和在该领域工作的生物药理学家提供了一个互动的场所。这次会议非常成功地促进了具有广泛经验和资历的科学家之间的合作，以及我国和欧洲、日本、澳大利亚和拉丁美洲的研究实验室之间的合作。这些合作取得了许多丰硕成果。会议将有九个会议，遵循戈登研究会议的格式。它们是：1）配子分化。2)精子附睾成熟和获能。3)配子和胚胎生物学的新方法。4)受精和激活发育。5)精子鞭毛调节。6)卵和胚胎的极性。7)主题演讲-配子识别蛋白的进化。8)卵被膜与精子顶体反应。9)胚胎发生和表观遗传学。这些会议将包括预定的发言者和可能的一些从海报中选择的简短演讲。特别强调的是年轻科学家，包括博士后研究员和研究生。公共卫生关系：关于受精和激活发育的戈登研究会议关注精子和卵子在受精和激活受精卵以开始胚胎形成过程的重要过程中的相互作用，这是人类生育能力的关键过程。它为生物化学家、细胞生物学家、分子生物学家、生理学家、遗传学家和在该领域工作的生物药理学家提供了一个互动的场所。会议将促进合作，以解决人类不育，胚胎发育，干细胞生物学的激活，以及美国和国际科学家之间的避孕具有广泛的不同经验/资历，方法和模型系统。
