2009 Calcium Signaling Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们的应用程序是部分财政支持的戈登研究会议上钙2+信号。会议将于2009年6月21日至26日在Il Ciocco酒店（靠近卢卡，意大利）举行。本次会议将是戈登研究会议系列的第9次。 本次会议的广泛目标是促进对Ca 2+稳态的分子和细胞机制的理解，并阐明这一重要离子信使产生的生理和病理作用。 这次会议的具体目标是： 汇集专门研究钙信号的基本方面的研究人员和对Ca 2+在生理过程和重要疾病（如心血管疾病，癌症，胰腺炎，阿尔茨海默病等）中的作用感兴趣的科学家。 通过邀请从Ca 2+信号研究领域的领导者和创新者中选出的演讲者和会议主席（总共35-40名科学家）来制定一个激励计划。 吸引另外115名对Ca 2+信号有浓厚兴趣的参与者，他们将受益于前沿讲座和广泛的无障碍讨论，以及在海报会议上展示和讨论他们的研究工作。 实现不同科学家群体（如博士后科学家、年轻的小组领导人、知名研究人员）的均衡参与，并为妇女、代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人提供公平的机会参加和出席本次会议。 本次会议的意义在于，它是一个必不可少的一年两次的讨论论坛，对于理解Ca 2+信号传导的基本机制以及由这一重要的第二信使控制的下游生理和病理过程至关重要。 健康相关性。该计划将包含一个专门致力于Ca 2+信号在疾病中的作用的会议。我们将讨论Ca 2+信号在癌症、心脏肥大、胰腺炎和阿尔茨海默病中的作用。我们预计，本次会议将有助于揭示特定信号机制之间的联系，这将在以后的会议中讨论，对重要疾病的影响。(End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our application is for partial financial support for the Gordon Research Conference on Ca2+ signaling. The conference will be held on June 21-26, 2009 at Il Ciocco Hotel (Near Lucca, Italy). This conference will be the 9th in this series of Gordon Research Conferences. The broad goal of this conference is to facilitate understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of Ca2+ homeostasis and to elucidate physiological and pathological effects produced by this important ion-messenger. Specific objectives for this meeting are: To bring together researchers specialising in fundamental aspects of calcium signaling and scientists with interests in the role of Ca2+ in physiological processes and in important diseases e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer, pancreatitis, Alzheimer's disease and others. To develop a stimulating program by inviting speakers and session chairs selected from among the leaders and innovators in the Ca2+ signaling research field (35-40 scientists in total). To attract a further 115 participants with strong interests in Ca2+ signaling who will benefit from cutting-edge lectures and extensive unhampered discussions, as well as from presenting and discussing their research work at poster sessions. To achieve a balanced participation of different groups of scientists (e.g. postdoctoral scientists, young group leaders, established investigators) and to give a fair opportunity for women, under represented minorities and persons with disabilities to participate and present at this meeting. The significance of this conference is that it is an essential biannual discussion forum critical for progress in the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of Ca2+ signaling and the downstream physiological and pathological processes controlled by this important second messenger. The health relatedness. The Program will contain a session specifically dedicated to the role of Ca2+ signaling in disease. We will discuss the role of Ca2+ signaling in cancer, cardiac hypertrophy, pancreatitis and Alzheimer's disease. We anticipate that this session will help to reveal links between specific signaling mechanisms, which will be discussed in later sessions, with implications for important diseases. (End of Abstract)
