FASEB Conference: Signal Transduction in the Immune System to be held July 8-13, 2000 in Saxton's River, VT

该申请寻求FASEB夏季会议的部分资金，该会议将于2000年7月8日至13日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河举行。 会议的主要目标是全面关注免疫细胞信号机制知识的最新进展。 对信号转导途径的理解对于理解各种免疫功能的分子基础至关重要。 在大学、研究机构和生物技术领域，对免疫细胞信号传导的兴趣广泛存在。 然而，在免疫学会议上的信号转导通常是作为一个附属主题，很少有详细的报道。 一个深入关注免疫系统信号转导细节的年度会议已经消失。 免疫系统中的信号转导”将填补这一空白，涵盖了从酪氨酸，丝氨酸和脂质激酶到衔接蛋白（SLP-76，LAT，FYB/S，3BP-2等）到胸腺分化中的信号传导和对细胞因子的反应的一系列主题。 本次会议将有三个主要目标：（1）提供控制各种免疫功能的信号蛋白的当前状态的关键和深入的概述。 会议将涵盖全方位的主题，从深入分析特定的信号分子和网络到将这些知识应用于免疫生物学。(2)使资深科学家和年轻的研究人员聚集在一个愉快的气氛中进行介绍和非正式讨论。 希望这种环境将有助于通过与知名调查人员的互动，培养学生和年轻调查人员的调查技能和热情。(3)开始为对免疫系统信号事件感兴趣的研究人员举办年度论坛。

This application seeks partial funding for a FASEB Summer Conference on "Signal Transduction in the Immune System" to be held from July 8th through 13th, 2000 in Saxton's River, Vermont. The major goal of the conference is to provide a comprehensive focus on recent advances in the knowledge of signaling mechanisms of immune cells. An understanding of signal transduction pathways is central to an understanding of the molecular basis of various immune functions. Widespread interest in immune cell signaling exists in universities, research institutes and biotechnology. However, signal transduction at immunology meetings is generally covered as an adjunct subject, with little detailed coverage. An annual meeting with an in-depth focus on the details of signal transduction in the immune system has been missing. Signal Transduction in the Immune System" will fill this gap by covering a spectum of topics from tyrosine, serine and lipid kinases to adaptor proteins (SLP-76, LAT, FYB/SLAP, 3BP-2 etc) to signaling in thymic differentiation and in response to cytokines. There will be three main objectives of this conference:(1) To provide a critical and intensive overview of the current status of signaling proteins that control various immune functions. The meeting will cover a full range of topics, from an in-depth analysis of specific signaling molecules and networks to the application of this knowledge to immunobiology.(2) To bring together senior scientists and young investigators in a convivial atmosphere of presentations and informal discussions. It is hoped that this environment will help develop the investigative skills and enthusiasm of students and young investigators by interacting with established investigators.(3) To begin an annual forum for investigators interested in a comprehensive focus on signaling events in the immune system.
