Symposium: Compensatory responses of mitochondria in stressful environments, February 2 - 7, 2003 in Australia

这项资助是为了支持参加题为“线粒体在压力环境中的补偿反应”的研讨会的参与者的旅行，该研讨会是国际生物科学联合会（IUBS）第六届国际比较生理学和生物化学大会（ICCPB）的一部分，该会议将于2003年2月2日至8日在澳大利亚墨尔本拉特罗布大学的Mt Buller校区举行。众所周知，线粒体产生大部分细胞能量。这种细胞器受到了新的关注，因为它对其所在的细胞和生物体施加的环境挑战有新的反应，而且线粒体功能障碍越来越被认为是许多人类代谢疾病的基础。改变线粒体功能的细胞损伤可导致细胞和生物体生存所需的能量产生减少。研讨会参与者最近在这一领域的工作为线粒体功能和技术创新提供了令人兴奋的新概念。这次专题讨论会将以论文集的形式发表一份新的综合意见，预计将产生新的和新的合作。该奖项将支持受邀演讲者和参与主持人，总共最多8人，4男4女。参与者来自美国多家机构，学术生涯从正教授到研究生不等。科学会议是促进和促进研究和技术交流、合作以及职业发展机会的最佳途径之一。在其四年的周期中，委员会一直是该领域工人的主要会议，第六届委员会应继续这一传统。

This grant is to support travel by participants in a symposium entitled "Compensatory responses of mitochondria in stressful environments", as part of the Sixth International Congress of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (ICCPB) of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS), to be held 2-8 February 2003 at the Mt. Buller campus of LaTrobe University, Melbourne Australia. Mitochondria are well known for producing the majority of cellular energy. This organelle has received renewed attention because of novel responses to environmental challenges imposed on cells and organisms within which it resides, and because mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as the basis for a large number of human metabolic diseases. Cellular insults that alter mitochondrial function can result in reduced energy production for cellular andorganismal survival. Recent work in this field by symposium participants has provided exciting new concepts on mitochondrial function and technological innovation. From this symposium, a new synthesis of ideas will be published in a proceedings format, and new and renewed collaborations are expected to ensue. This award will support both invited speakers and participating presenters, up to 8 people in total, 4 female and 4 male. The participants from several US institutions range in stage of academic career from full professor to graduate student. Scientific meetings are one of the best avenues available to foster and promote research and technological exchanges, collaborations, and career enhancement opportunities. The ICCPB, in its 4-year cycle, has consistently been a premier meeting for workers in the field, and the 6th ICCPB should continue in this tradition.
