2009 Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms Gordon Research Conference

0904349 n。该项目将支持戈登心律失常机制研究会议，该会议将于2008年2月15日至20日在意大利布拉加的Il Ciocco举行。这是第四届戈登心律失常机制研究会议。会议每隔一年举行一次。提议的2009年戈登心律失常机制研究会议将集中讨论基础科学和临床相关的关键科学主题。会议将有机会汇集不同相关领域的杰出研究人员和专家，包括分子生物学、分子遗传学、细胞电生理学、生物物理学、成像、生物医学工程、数学和临床心脏病学，就复杂的危及生命的心律失常的潜在机制进行互动和交流。该领域的主要专家和年轻有前途的研究人员将介绍和讨论最令人兴奋的新贡献，以理解心律紊乱的机制。整个会议的形式是非常互动和协作的，并且有时间进行高质量的讨论。戈登会议的形式，精心挑选的演讲和充足的讨论时间，将促进非正式的信息交流，并促进具有不同背景但对心律失常研究有共同兴趣的科学家之间牢固持久的关系的发展。本次会议将吸引我们社会各方面的参与，从研究生和博士后研究员到高级教师，国内和国际，学术界和工业界的参与，揭示心律失常发生的主要机制。在会议上，工程师、物理科学家和生命科学家将就复杂危及生命的心律失常的潜在机制进行互动和交流；从长远来看，可以开发出更好的治疗危及生命的心律失常的方法。会议的目标是增加妇女和少数民族的参与。会议首次有了女性主席；组委会有两名女性成员；该项目已经有6名女性演讲者和讨论领袖，是上一届会议的两倍。会议还将为学生和初级科学家提供一个环境，在会议期间由该领域的领导者指导，并提供膳食。申请的资金将用于支持学生和博士后研究员的会议注册和/或旅行支持。

0904349N. TrayanovaThis project will support Gordon Research Conference on Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms, to be held February 15-20, 2008 at Il Ciocco, Braga, Italy. This is the fourth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms. The conference is held every other year. The proposed 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms will focus on both basic science and clinically relevant key scientific topics. The meeting will allow opportunities to bring together groups of outstanding investigators, experts in various relevant fields, including molecular biology, molecular genetics, cellular electrophysiology, biophysics, imaging, biomedical engineering, mathematics, and clinical cardiology to interact and share ideas about the underlying mechanisms of complex life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Leading experts and young promising investigators in this field will present and discuss the most exciting new contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms of cardiac rhythm disturbances. The overall conference format is very interactive and collaborative and allows time for quality discussions. The Gordon Conference format, with carefully selected presentations and ample time for discussion, will promote the informal exchange of information and foster the development of strong long-lasting relationships among scientist with different backgrounds but common interest in cardiac arrhythmia research.This conference will draw participation from every aspect of our community, from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows through to senior faculty, with participation both national and international, and from academia and industry, to uncover the major mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis. At the meeting, engineers, physical scientists and life scientists will interact and share ideas about the underlying mechanisms of complex life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias; and in the long-term better treatments for the life-threatening arrhythmias can be developed. The conference will target to increase the participation of women and minorities. For the first time, there is a female Chair of the conference; the organizing committee has two female members; and the program has already 6 women speakers and discussion leaders, twice the number at the previous conference. The conference will also provide an environment for students and junior scientists to be mentored by the leaders in the field during the sessions, and meals.The requested funds will be used to support students and postdoctoral fellows toward conference registration and/or travel support.
