DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Gordon Research Conference on Epithelial Differentiation & Keratinization is to provide a stimulating forum for the dissemination and discussion of new research, concepts and opportunities at the forefront of epidermal and epithelial biology. Irwin Freedberg and Is Bernstein, who organized the first meeting held in 1979, envisioned developing a forum fostering interactions among clinical and basic scientists, which has been realized. The epidermis remains as a central focus, but the Conference has evolved to include additional tissues and models as our understanding of the similarities among epithelia grew. Additionally, inclusion of scientists whose research interests lies outside epithelia provides insight and innovative concepts that deepen our understanding of skin biology and identify new areas of research. The program for 2009 reflects this continuing evolution with a strong emphasis on genome biology, stem cells, development and homeostasis, and novel therapeutic approaches for a broad range of skin diseases. The aims of the next Conference, to be held June 21-26 (2009) at Les Diablerets/Eurotel Victoria in Switzerland, are to: 1) build on a long-standing tradition of defining the most important problems and opportunities at the frontiers of epithelial biology, and facilitating interactions and discussion in this area; 2) further the development of young investigators, and scientists from under-represented minorities, in epithelial biology; 3) ensure that the field remains vibrant and receptive to concepts and advances in other fields. To accomplish these aims, the 2009 Conference will bring together an international cadre of participants including scientists from academia, industry, clinicians and basic researchers, young scientists and senior scientists, dermatologists and pathologists, cell, developmental and molecular biologists in an atmosphere conducive to the free exchange of ideas. The themes to be developed in the Main Sessions include: 1) Emerging Paradigms; 2) Stem cells: Mobilization and Regulation; 3) Genome biology; 4) New Insight into Keratinocyte and Skin Biology; 5) Signaling in Development and Tissue Homeostasis; 6) Complex Sub cellular Processes; and 7) Disease Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Approaches. In addition, two Issues Rising sessions highlighting poster abstracts (Tuesday and Thursday evenings) will ensure that the program reflects exciting new topics that may emerge between submission of this application and the meeting. Several "Young Investigator Awards" will be given to outstanding graduate student and postdoctoral level presentations. The specific goal of this proposal is to generate funds to support the travel, registration and subsistence for chairs, invited speakers and other selected participants.

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登上皮分化和角化研究会议的目标是为传播和讨论表皮和上皮生物学前沿的新研究、概念和机会提供一个激动人心的论坛。欧文·弗里德伯格 (Irwin Freedberg) 和伊斯·伯恩斯坦 (Is Bernstein) 组织了 1979 年举行的第一次会议，他们设想建立一个论坛，促进临床和基础科学家之间的互动，这一目标已经实现。表皮仍然是一个中心焦点，但随着我们对上皮之间相似性的了解不断加深，会议已经发展到包括其他组织和模型。此外，纳入研究兴趣不在上皮细胞之外的科学家可以提供见解和创新概念，加深我们对皮肤生物学的理解并确定新的研究领域。 2009 年的计划反映了这种持续发展，重点强调基因组生物学、干细胞、发育和体内平衡，以及针对广泛皮肤疾病的新治疗方法。下一次会议将于 6 月 21 日至 26 日（2009 年）在瑞士 Les Diablerets/Eurotel Victoria 举行，其目标是： 1) 建立定义上皮生物学前沿最重要问题和机遇的长期传统，并促进该领域的互动和讨论； 2) 进一步发展年轻研究人员和来自代表性不足的少数族裔的科学家在上皮生物学领域的发展； 3）确保该领域保持活力并能够接受其他领域的概念和进步。为了实现这些目标，2009年会议将汇集国际骨干参与者，包括来自学术界、工业界的科学家、临床医生和基础研究人员、年轻科学家和资深科学家、皮肤科医生和病理学家、细胞、发育和分子生物学家，在有利于自由交流思想的氛围中。主要会议拟定的主题包括： 1) 新兴范式； 2）干细胞：动员和调节； 3）基因组生物学； 4）对角质形成细胞和皮肤生物学的新见解； 5) 发育和组织稳态中的信号传导； 6) 复杂的亚细胞过程； 7) 疾病病理生理学和治疗方法。此外，两次突出海报摘要的 Issues Rising 会议（周二和周四晚上）将确保该计划反映在提交本申请和会议之间可能出现的令人兴奋的新主题。多项“青年研究员奖”将颁发给杰出的研究生和博士后水平的演讲。该提案的具体目标是筹集资金，以支持主席、受邀演讲者和其他选定参与者的旅行、注册和生活费。
