DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Signal Transduction By Engineered Extracellular Matrices was established in 2000 and has become the premier meeting at the intersection of engineered materials, cellular adhesion and signaling, tissue engineering, and stem cell biology. The 2010 meeting, to be held June 27 to July 2, 2010, at the University of New England in Biddeford, ME, adds another important dimension - linking stem cell/engineered matrix constructs to developmental models and human clinical therapy. The meeting Chair will be Dr. Chris Chen and the Vice-Chair will be Dr. Karen Hirschi. These investigators provide complimentary expertise in these emerging fields. The main objective of the conference will be to share the newest knowledge from research on: the establishment and regulation of the cellular microenvironment during development and in postnatal tissues; how the cellular microenvironment can be engineered to control cell function; how the fate of cells can be dynamically tracked in vivo; and how such insights can be applied to the development and optimization of human clinical therapies for tissue repair and regeneration. Thus, this meeting necessarily brings together researchers in diverse fields of biology (including stem cell and developmental biology), chemistry, bioimaging and engineering for both the understanding of cellular function and how this can be harnessed for the repair and replacement of tissues lost or damaged due to disease or injury, which serves to encourage cross-disciplinary thinking. Speakers will include well-established leaders in the field as well as young investigators of exceptional promise. In addition to the plenary talks, the meeting includes lively and highly interactive poster sessions. Importantly, 3 poster presenters will be invited to give short oral presentations in every a.m. session, for a total of 12 oral poster presenters. As an important new feature of the 2010 meeting, the main conference will be preceded by a weekend meeting planned by and for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in this growing interdisciplinary field. This pre-meeting, the Gordon- Kenan Graduate Research Seminar, will provide a forum for these future leaders in the field to present their work in talks and posters, in a collegial and interactive environment that will add outstanding value to their overall GRC experience. Overall, the meeting will provide a platform for the development of long term interdisciplinary interactions, and expose students and young professionals to the latest ideas and opportunities at the confluence of signal transduction, molecular and cellular biology, biomaterials and tissue engineering. 2 PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Gordon Research Conference on Signal Transduction By Engineered Extracellular Matrices is a biennial meeting of the top investigators in the fields of bioengineering and stem cell biology. The 2010 meeting will be held June 27 to July 2, 2010 at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine. Nine seminar sessions will be held in which leading researchers will present recent data on a variety of topics relevant to the field. In addition to these invited talks, poster sessions will enable attendees to share new experimental findings in a lively and interactive setting. The meeting will include ample time for informal, collegial interactions that are so essential for carrying out science. A pre-conference organized by and for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees will be held preceding the main meeting. This pre-conference will provide an exceptional forum to establish peer group interaction among future leaders of the field, just prior to the main meeting.

描述(申请人提供)：戈登研究会议(GRC)关于工程细胞外基质的信号转导，成立于2000年，已成为工程材料、细胞黏附和信号转导、组织工程和干细胞生物学交叉领域的首要会议。2010年会议将于2010年6月27日至7月2日在缅因州比德福德的新英格兰大学举行，会议增加了另一个重要方面-将干细胞/工程基质结构与发育模型和人类临床治疗联系起来。会议主席将由陈可辛博士担任，副主席将由凯伦·赫希博士担任。这些研究人员在这些新兴领域提供了免费的专业知识。会议的主要目的将是分享研究的最新知识：发育期间和出生后组织中细胞微环境的建立和调节；如何通过工程设计细胞微环境来控制细胞功能；如何在体内动态跟踪细胞的命运；以及如何将这些见解应用于组织修复和再生的人类临床疗法的开发和优化。因此，这次会议必须聚集生物学(包括干细胞和发育生物学)、化学、生物成像和工程学等不同领域的研究人员，以了解细胞的功能，以及如何利用细胞功能来修复和替换因疾病或损伤而丢失或损坏的组织，这有助于鼓励跨学科思维。演讲者将包括该领域的知名领导人以及具有非凡前途的年轻研究人员。除了全体会谈，会议还包括生动活泼、互动性强的海报会议。重要的是，每天上午将邀请3名海报演讲者进行简短的口头演示。会议期间，共有12名口头海报演讲者。作为2010年会议的一个重要新特点，在主会议之前，将举行一次周末会议，由这一日益增长的跨学科领域的博士后和博士后实习生计划举行。本次会议前的戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会将为这些未来该领域的领导者提供一个论坛，以演讲和海报的形式展示他们的工作，在一个合作和互动的环境中，这将为他们的整体GRC体验增加突出的价值。总体而言，会议将为发展长期的跨学科互动提供一个平台，并让学生和年轻的专业人员接触到信号转导、分子和细胞生物学、生物材料和组织工程等领域的最新想法和机会。2. 与公共健康相关：由工程细胞外基质进行信号转导的戈登研究会议是生物工程和干细胞生物学领域顶尖研究人员的两年一度的会议。2010年会议将于2010年6月27日至7月2日在缅因州比德福德的新英格兰大学举行。将举行九次研讨会，主要研究人员将介绍与该领域有关的各种专题的最新数据。除了这些受邀的演讲外，海报会议还将使与会者能够在活跃和互动的环境中分享新的实验发现。会议将包括充足的时间进行非正式的、大学式的互动，这些互动对于开展科学是至关重要的。在主要会议之前，将举行由博士前和博士后实习生组织并为他们举办的预备会议。这次会前会议将提供一个特殊的论坛，以便在主要会议之前，在未来的实地领导人之间建立同行小组互动。
