DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial support for the 17th Chronobiology Gordon Research Conference, to be held in Barga, Italy from June 12 - 17 in 2011. The conference will focus on topics that represent key research areas in chronobiology, which include molecular biology, genetics, behavior (including sleep), neurobiology, metabolism, cancer and (healthy) aging. The subtheme of the conference will thus be 'Integration: from molecule to organism'. All of the speakers and discussion leaders are recognized leaders in their fields and were chosen in consultation with scientists who represent the breadth of the field of chronobiology. Special attention has been given to cultural diversity and the tentative program reflects this in terms of gender balance. We have been successful in building an extremely high-quality program that features over 40% female speakers and discussion leaders. We aim to improve diversity further through registrations; preference will be given to members of under-represented groups. Training aspects have traditionally been formally incorporated into the program in the form of Hot Topic talks, which are reserved for students and post doctoral fellows. The specific objectives of the conference are: 1) to provide a forum for discussion of the latest (unpublished) chronobiology research. 2) to bring together scientists working primarily with molecular aspects of chronobiology with those who focus on higher levels of organization, as well as selected representatives of industry, to integrate across all levels - from fundamental to applied research. 3) to identify priority research themes for the coming years (e.g. aging, metabolism, pathologies) by identifying gaps in knowledge and improving conceptual models. 4) to continue - as chronobiology tradition dictates - to provide a high quality and accessible arena for interaction between trainees and senior researchers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Chronobiology GRC 2011 Project narrative: The clock regulates a myriad of processes in organisms from all phyla. Recent discoveries showing robust circadian rhythms in virtually all cells emphasize the pervasive impact of the circadian clock on physiology and behavior. Accordingly, epidemiological and genetic studies on humans show that a disrupted circadian clock - whether due to genetic predisposition or to socially influenced behavior - leads to pathologies that are associated with aging in our society: sleep disorders, metabolic disease and obesity, and cancer, for example. This conference will bring together experts and trainees who are in a position to integrate and translate basic research into applied science and policy, renewing the focus of the chronobiology field to keep pace with the latest research results and the interests of society.

描述(由申请者提供)：我们请求部分支持将于2011年6月12-17日在意大利巴尔加举行的第17届时间生物学戈登研究会议。会议将聚焦于代表时间生物学关键研究领域的主题，包括分子生物学、遗传学、行为(包括睡眠)、神经生物学、新陈代谢、癌症和(健康)衰老。因此，这次会议的主题是“整合：从分子到有机体”。所有的演讲者和讨论领导者都是各自领域公认的领导者，并与代表时间生物学领域广度的科学家进行了磋商。对文化多样性给予了特别关注，暂定方案从性别平衡的角度反映了这一点。我们已经成功地建立了一个非常高质量的节目，其中有超过40%的女性演讲者和讨论领袖。我们的目标是通过登记进一步提高多样性；将优先考虑代表性不足的群体的成员。传统上，培训方面是以热门话题演讲的形式正式纳入该计划的，这是为学生和博士后研究员保留的。会议的具体目标是：1)为讨论最新的(未发表的)时间生物学研究提供一个论坛。2)将主要从事时间生物学分子方面工作的科学家与那些专注于更高层次组织的科学家以及选定的行业代表聚集在一起，以整合从基础研究到应用研究的所有层面。3)通过确定知识差距和改进概念模型，确定未来几年的优先研究主题(如衰老、新陈代谢、病理学)。4)继续--正如时间生物学传统所规定的--为受训者和高级研究人员之间的互动提供一个高质量和可访问的舞台。 公共卫生相关性：时间生物学GRC 2011项目叙述：时钟调节来自所有门的生物体的无数过程。最近的发现表明，在几乎所有的细胞中都有强大的昼夜节律，这强调了生物钟对生理和行为的普遍影响。因此，对人类的流行病学和遗传学研究表明，生物钟的紊乱--无论是由于遗传易感性还是由于受社会影响的行为--会导致与我们社会中的衰老相关的疾病：例如，睡眠障碍、新陈代谢疾病和肥胖，以及癌症。这次会议将汇聚有能力将基础研究整合和转化为应用科学和政策的专家和学员，更新时间生物学领域的重点，以跟上最新的研究成果和社会的利益。
