2016 Cell Biology of the Neuron Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

总结 “神经元的细胞生物学”戈登研究会议是一个令人兴奋的机会，深入 讨论神经元的基本操作。会议的重点是最新的基础研究 神经元如何在细胞水平上运作：它们如何生长，形成细胞间的相互作用，移动货物， 秘密信使这些问题的重要性现在比以往任何时候都要突出， 意识到许多神经系统疾病是由这些细胞机制的缺陷引起的。的潜台词 今年的会议，因此，是多么显着的小一步，它是从基础细胞的研究， 神经病理学基础的检查机制。因此，会议将涉及 神经发育障碍，如自闭症和脆性X染色体，神经退行性疾病， 如帕金森氏症、肌萎缩侧索硬化症、神经胶质瘤和损伤反应，但总是在细胞机制的背景下。的 会议将于2016年6月26日至7月1日在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔山谷举行，将汇集领先的 高级研究人员，年轻的教师，博士后和学生进行富有成效的讨论， 交互.相关的戈登研究研讨会将在会议之前举行， 让学生和博士后成为焦点预计，这一事件，并大力鼓励 主席们将确定一个基调，鼓励青年科学家积极参与主要会议。 此外，节目中还预留了空间，供从提交的作品中选择平台演讲 摘要，这些将进一步提出最新的令人兴奋的研究和创造的双重目标 为博士后，学生和初级教师提供更多展示他们科学的机会。会议形式 是25分钟的会谈，10 - 15分钟的问题和讨论，也将有 传统上出席人数众多并包括激烈讨论的海报会议。受邀发言者名单 是国际性的和多样化的。在31位受邀并确认的演讲者中，12位是国际人士，11位是女性。 （包括全体会议发言人），4人是黑人或西班牙裔。在9名讨论领导人中，3名是妇女。我们将 寻找更多的妇女和少数民族科学家，以填补发言的位置，为那些选择从 摘要。从历史上看，该会议的出席人数非常多，一直获得很高的评价， 我们希望这种情况继续下去，并希望会议更具包容性和互动性， 增加了一个GRS。

Summary The “Cell Biology of the Neuron” Gordon Research Conference is an exciting opportunity for in depth discussion of the fundamental operations of neurons. The focus of the meeting is on the newest basic research into how neurons operate at the cellular level: how they grow, form intercellular interactions, move cargo, and secrete messengers. These are questions whose importance looms larger now than ever before due to the awareness that many neurological disorders arise from defects in those cellular mechanisms. The subtext of this year's meeting, therefore, is how remarkably small a step it is from the investigation of fundamental cellular mechanisms to the examination of the basis of neuropathologies. Therefore, the conference will touch on questions of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and Fragile X, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and ALS, gliomas, and injury responses, but always in the context of cellular mechanisms. The meeting will be held at Waterville Valley, NH, from June 26 to July 1, 2016 and will bring together leading senior researchers, young faculty members, postdocs and students for productive discussions and interactions. The associated Gordon Research Seminar will precede the meeting and provide an opportunity for students and postdocs to take center stage. It is expected that this event, and the strong encouragement of the Chairs, will set a tone that encourages active participation by young scientists in the main meeting as well. In addition, spaces have been reserved in the programming for platform talks to be selected from submitted abstracts and these will further the twin goals of presenting the very latest exciting research and of creating more opportunities for postdocs, students and junior faculty to showcase their science. The conference format is of 25 minute talks with 10 - 15 minutes following the talk for questions and discussion and there will also be a poster session that traditionally is well-attended and includes vigorous discussion. The list of invited speakers is international and diverse. Of the 31 invited and confirmed speakers, 12 are international, 11 are women (including a plenary speaker), and 4 are Black or Hispanic. Of the 9 discussion leaders, 3 are women. We will look for additional women and minority scientists to fill speaking slots reserved for those selected from abstracts. Historically, the meeting has been very well attended and consistently received very high ratings and from attendees; we expect that to continue and hope for an even more inclusive and interactive meeting due to the addition of a GRS.
