DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for partial support of the 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids, a meeting that will bring together leading scientists in the field to present and discuss their research and to facilitate advances in lipid research. This conference has been held every other year for over 47 years and is recognized world-wide as a prestigious forum for the presentation of ground breaking research in lipid biochemistry and molecular biology. The 2009 meeting, which will be held July 19-24 at the Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire will continue this tradition and will emphasize the role of lipids in health and disease. The meeting will include nine lecture sessions and four afternoon poster sessions. Lecture sessions will cover a broad range of topics, including regulation of lipid metabolism by nuclear receptors, bacterial lipid synthesis and catabolism, genetics of lipid metabolism, enzymes of lipid metabolism, trafficking of proteins and lipids, protein structure in the lipid bilayer, mammalian lipid metabolism, and lipid localization and membrane structure. The 37 speakers in these sessions will describe research done in an array of in vivo and in vitro biological systems and using multiple experimental approaches. Lectures at Gordon Research Conferences are well known to stimulate lively discussions among attendees who in this case will include biochemists, structural biologists, cell biologists, and geneticists. Scientists who attend this conference derive synergistic benefit from the high quality of the speakers, the diverse experimental backgrounds of participants, and the intimate atmosphere of the meeting. These benefits in turn drive future advances in lipid metabolism. Participants and speakers have been and will be chosen to reflect international excellence in this medically-relevant area of science with an ideal balance between youth and wisdom, men and women, and the different ethnicities. Outstanding facilities are available to accommodate handicapped individuals who will be considered equally in the selection of attendees and speakers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Lipids such as fats and cholesterol are required for life, but cause heart attacks and strokes when present in excess. The 2009 Gordon Research Conference on the Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids will address current issues in lipid synthesis and breakdown and how these fundamental processes go awry in cardiovascular disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是对 2009 年戈登脂质分子和细胞生物学研究会议的部分支持，该会议将汇集该领域的领先科学家，展示和讨论他们的研究，并促进脂质研究的进展。该会议每两年举办一次，已有 47 年历史，被世界公认为是展示脂质生物化学和分子生物学突破性研究的著名论坛。 2009 年会议将于 7 月 19 日至 24 日在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔谷的沃特维尔谷度假村举行，会议将延续这一传统，并将强调脂质在健康和疾病中的作用。会议将包括九场讲座和四场下午的海报会议。讲座将涵盖广泛的主题，包括核受体对脂质代谢的调节、细菌脂质合成和分解代谢、脂质代谢遗传学、脂质代谢酶、蛋白质和脂质的运输、脂质双层中的蛋白质结构、哺乳动物脂质代谢以及脂质定位和膜 结构。这些会议的 37 名演讲者将描述在一系列体内和体外生物系统中以及使用多种实验方法所做的研究。众所周知，戈登研究会议上的讲座会激发与会者的热烈讨论，其中包括生物化学家、结构生物学家、细胞生物学家和遗传学家。参加本次会议的科学家们从高质量的演讲者、参与者的多样化实验背景以及亲密的会议气氛中获得了协同效益。这些好处反过来又推动了脂质代谢的未来进步。参与者和演讲者的选择已经并将继续反映这一医学相关科学领域的国际卓越成就，并在青年与智慧、男性与女性以及不同种族之间实现理想的平衡。提供出色的设施来容纳残疾人，他们在选择与会者和演讲者时将受到同等考虑。 公共卫生相关性：脂肪和胆固醇等脂质是生命所必需的，但过量时会导致心脏病和中风。 2009 年戈登脂质分子和细胞生物学研究会议将讨论脂质合成和分解的当前问题以及这些基本过程如何在心血管疾病中出错。
