Gordon Research Seminar and Gordon Research ConferencePlant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism, and Function

2017年戈登研究会议(GRC)和研讨会(GRS)《植物脂类：结构、代谢和功能》整合了植物脂类的机制和信号功能方面的概念和方法。会议将于2017年1月28日至2月3日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿的加尔韦斯酒店举行，将通过引入以前没有提出的新的新兴范式来推动这一领域的发展。GRC以高质量、前沿的会议而闻名国际，正因为如此，许多科学家都想参加GRC并为其做出贡献。2017年会议上的科学演讲、讨论和海报展示将刺激新的研究方向，并为推进脂质信号、代谢和功能研究的协作互动提供基础。除了对这一领域的影响外，GRS还将为研究生和博士后实习生提供一个建立网络和学习的集中机会。在GRS和GRC的支持气氛中，作为演讲者参与并与其他科学家互动，为初级研究人员提供了一个极好的机会，以发展同行和资深同事之间的强大网络，同时增加科学的广度和深度。午餐餐桌辅导课程还寻求让学生与知名调查人员积极互动，提出问题。植物脂类GRC在招募不同的演讲者和为女性提供领导机会方面有着良好的记录，特别是目前受邀演讲者和讨论领袖中的女性比例(33%)。将寻求更多代表不足的发言者出席会议。将讨论的主题包括：植物脂类介导的翻译后修饰；用于脂类生物合成的代谢工程的基因组修饰方法；用于脂类分析的“基因组”平台；脂类成像、光谱学；分子建模和计算方法。此外，还将部署鼓励关键讨论的新方法，包括重点整合知识以及代谢和脂质信号之间的方法。其次，大量的会议时间将用于从提交的摘要中精选演讲，并因此在GRC会议上更多地介绍新技术，如通量建模，以及为早期职业科学家接触最先进的技术。总而言之，这些活动将确保植物脂肪GRC将汇集致力于创建和传播新的研究工具的专家，发现通过脂质调节植物对发育和环境提示的反应的基本范式。

The 2017 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) "Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism, and Function" integrates concepts and approaches in mechanisms and signaling function of plant lipids. The meetings, to be held January 28 through February 3, 2017 at the Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas will advance the field by introducing new emerging paradigms not presented previously. The GRC is internationally known for high-quality, cutting-edge meetings, and because of this many scientists want to attend and contribute to a GRC. The scientific talks, discussions, and poster presentations at the 2017 meeting will stimulate new research directions, and provide underpinnings for collaborative interactions that advance the study of lipid signaling, metabolism, and function. In addition to this impact on the field, the GRS will offer a concentrated opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees to network and learn. Participating as a presenter and interacting with other scientists in the supportive atmosphere of the GRS and GRC provides an excellent opportunity for beginning researchers to develop a strong network of peers and senior colleagues, while increasing scientific breadth and depth. Lunch table mentoring sessions also seek to actively engage students with established investigators to ask questions. The GRC on Plant Lipids has an excellent track record in recruiting diverse speakers and providing leadership opportunities to women, specifically the current proportion of women among the invited speakers and discussion leaders (33%). Additional speakers of under-represented status will be sought to attend the meeting. Topics to be discussed include plant lipid-mediated post-translational modification; genome modification approaches to metabolic engineering of lipid biosynthesis; "omic" platforms for lipid analyses; lipid imaging, spectroscopy; molecular modelling and computational approaches. Moreover, new approaches to stimulate critical discussion will also be deployed, including a focus on integration of knowledge and approaches between metabolism and lipid signaling. Second, significant meeting time will be devoted to selected talks from submitted abstracts and as such more presentations on novel technologies like flux modeling, and exposure to the state of the art technologies for early career scientists at the GRC meeting. Together, these activities will ensure that the GRC on Plant Lipids will bring together experts working to create and disseminate new research tools, discover fundamental paradigms for lipid-mediated regulation of plant responses to developmental and environmental cues.
