2009 Cilia, Mucus & Mucociliary Interactions Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 戈登研究会议题为“纤毛，粘液和粘膜纤毛的相互作用”将于2009年2月22日至27日在意大利意大利的伊尔乔科举行。该会议已得到GRC委员会的批准，将是继2005年2月在加利福尼亚州布尔顿和2007年2月在加利福尼亚州文图拉海滩成功举行的GRC主办的同名会议之后的第三次会议。会议的总体安排是以前几届全球资源中心的既定和非常成功的模式为基础的，略有改动，使会议形式更加完善。会议将于周日晚上开幕，届时将有两个来自资深知名科学家的演讲，他们将对该领域进行补充概述，提出未来的挑战，并为会议剩余时间的讨论提供框架。随后，从星期一上午至星期四晚上将举行总共8次全体会议;每次上午会议将至少有6名发言者，每次晚上会议将至少有4名发言者。其目标是根据GRCs的传统提供尚未公布的新数据。每个演讲者和讨论领导者都将是在纤毛，粘液或粘液纤毛相互作用领域具有公认科学记录的个人，或者是提出杰出数据的年轻研究人员，通常代表该领域公认领导者实验室的工作。讨论领导人将从对主题领域有丰富知识的个人中选出，他们特别能够保持重点并激发讨论。讨论负责人将简要介绍每个会议，以提供对所涵盖主题的看法。将从提交的摘要中选出一些较短演讲的发言者，以便包括最新的“热门”成果。除全体会议平台介绍外，将在星期一和星期二下午举行一次海报会议，在星期三和星期四下午举行第二次海报会议;这将为重点围绕海报介绍进行互动留出充足的时间。海报也将可供观看后，晚上会议。申请人将有机会表明他们是否喜欢海报或平台地点，那些没有被选中的平台演示将被委派到海报会议。上一次GRC总共有大约60张海报，这是一个可以管理的数字;我们预计这次会议的数量也差不多。如果需要，笔记本电脑的空间将可供个人谁可能希望提出额外的数据，不能很容易地显示在海报上，如3-D分子建模，3-D重建共聚焦图像，视频显微镜和延时显微镜电影，所有这些都是特别适合纤毛和粘膜纤毛的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference titled "Cilia, Mucus and Mucociliary interactions" will be held in Il Ciocco, Italy from February 22 to 27, 2009. The conference has been approved by the GRC committee and will represent the third meeting following the successful GRC-sponsored conferences of the same title that were held in Buellton, CA in February of 2005 and Ventura Beach, CA in February 2007. The general organization of the conference is based on the established and very successful formula of the previous GRCs, with minor changes to make the meeting format even better. The meeting will open Sunday night with two talks from senior, eminent scientists who will give complementary overviews of the field, lay out the challenges for the future, and provide a framework for discussions throughout the remainder of the conference. This will be followed by a total of 8 plenary sessions from Monday morning through Thursday evening; each morning session will have at least 6 speakers and each evening session will have at least 4 speakers. The goal is to present new data not yet published according to the tradition of GRCs. Each of the speakers and discussion leaders will be individuals with a recognized scientific record in the areas of cilia, mucus, or mucociliary interactions or young investigators presenting outstanding data, usually representing work from the laboratory of a recognized leader in the field. Discussion leaders will be selected from individuals knowledgeable in the topic areas who are especially capable of maintaining focus and stimulating discussion. Discussion leaders will give brief introductions to each session to provide a perspective on the topics to be covered. Speakers for some shorter talks will be selected from submitted abstracts in order to include the latest "hot" results. In addition to the plenary platform presentations, there will be one poster session on Monday and Tuesday afternoon and a second poster session on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon; this will allow ample time for interactions focused on the poster presentations. Posters also will be available for viewing following the evening sessions. Applicants will have the opportunity to indicate if they prefer a poster or platform venue, and those not chosen for platform presentation will be delegated to the poster sessions. The last GRC had a total of about 60 posters, which was a manageable number; we expect a similar number for this conference. If needed, room for laptops will be available for individuals who might wish to present additional data that cannot be easily shown on posters, such as 3-D molecular modeling, 3-D reconstruction of confocal images, video microscopy and time-lapse microscopy movies, all of which are particularly well-suited for cilia and mucociliary studies.
