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

摘要 《神经元的细胞生物学》戈登研究大会是深入研究的令人兴奋的机会 讨论神经元的基本运算。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，运输货物，以及 秘密信使。这些问题的重要性现在比以往任何时候都更加突出，因为 意识到许多神经疾病是由这些细胞机制中的缺陷引起的。的潜台词 因此，今年的会议是从基础细胞研究迈出的非常小的一步 神经病理学基础检查的机制。因此，会议将触及 自闭症和脆性X等神经发育障碍，神经退行性疾病 如帕金森氏症和肌萎缩侧索硬化症、胶质瘤和损伤反应，但总是在细胞机制的背景下。这个 会议将于2016年6月26日至7月1日在华盛顿州沃特维尔山谷举行，届时将汇聚领先的 资深研究人员、年轻教职员工、博士后和学生进行富有成效的讨论和 互动。相关的戈登研究研讨会将在会议之前举行，并提供一个机会 让学生和博士后占据中心舞台。预计本次活动，并得到各方面的大力鼓励 主席们也将定下基调，鼓励年轻科学家积极参与主要会议。 此外，已在节目安排中预留空位，供从提交的文件中选择进行平台演讲 摘要和这些将促进提出最新的令人兴奋的研究和创造的双重目标 博士后、学生和初级教员有更多机会展示他们的科学。会议形式 是25分钟的演讲，演讲后10-15分钟进行提问和讨论，还将有 传统上有很多人参加，并包括激烈讨论的海报会议。受邀演讲者名单 是国际化和多元化的。在31位受邀和确认的演讲者中，12位是国际人士，11位是女性 (包括一名全体发言人)，4名黑人或西班牙裔。在9位讨论负责人中，有3位是女性。我们会 寻找更多的女性和少数族裔科学家来填补为那些从以下项目中选出的人保留的演讲名额 摘要。从历史上看，这次会议的出席人数非常多，并一直获得非常高的评级和 来自与会者；我们预计这种情况将继续下去，并希望有一个更具包容性和互动性的会议，因为 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.
