US-Russia Workshop on Mechanisms of Membrane Channels: Woods Hole, Mass. (May 11-25, 1992)

美国国家科学院和苏联科学院将于1992年5月11日至25日在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔生物实验室举办一次关于膜通道机制的联合研讨会。会议将由华盛顿大学的Bertil Hille博士和基辅Bogomoletz生理学研究所的Platon Kostyuk院士主持。研讨会将汇集在生物膜领域研究前沿的科学家。具体的主题是：离子渗透和通道门控的生物物理和结构分析，钙通道及其通过g蛋白偶联受体的调节；快速化学突触和感觉受体的快速配体门控通道；以及更广泛的细胞生物学方法来研究神经分泌和学习。该项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和俄罗斯的主要研究人员能够在平等、互惠的基础上，在共同感兴趣和有能力的基础科学研究领域结合互补的努力和能力。互惠互利。

The National Academy of Sciences and the Soviet Academy of Sciences will conduct a joint workshop on Mechanisms of Membrane Channels to be held May 11-25, 1992 at the Woods Hole Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The meeting will be chaired by Dr. Bertil Hille of the University of Washington and Academician Platon Kostyuk of the Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology in Kiev. The workshop will bring together scientists working at the forefront of research in the area of biological membranes. Specific subjects to be addressed are: biophysical and structural analysis of ion permeation and channel gating, calcium channels and their regulation through G-protein- coupled receptors; fast, ligand-gated channels of fast chemical synapses and sensory receptors; and broader cell biological approaches to neurosecretion and learning. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and the Russia to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
