GORDON CONFERENCE: GLYCOPROTEINS AND GLYCOLIPIDS

本申请的目的是为1991年的 冬季戈登糖蛋白和糖脂研究会议。这个 会议将重点介绍细胞生物学、生物化学、 分子生物学和遗传学正在导致更好地理解 糖蛋白和糖脂中碳水化合物的生物学作用。 这次会议应该会引起致力于细胞科学的研究人员的兴趣 以及癌症、神经疾病等疾病的分子基础， 关节炎、凝血、发育障碍、糖尿病、感染性疾病 以及溶酶体储藏疾病和衰老。演讲者和参与者将 从许多不同的学科中挑选，以确保广泛覆盖 相关主题以及思想和观点的交流。许多人 演讲者在国际上被公认为 他们各自的研究领域。此外，还采取了以下措施 在演讲者中，有相当一部分人(大约一半)这样做了 在最近的戈登糖蛋白会议上没有发言 糖脂。几位演讲者正处于独立演讲的初始阶段 但已经为该领域做出了重要贡献。关于 三分之一的发言者将在1990年8月至12月期间选出， 以确保该领域最近的重要事态发展 有代表性的。希望这位发言者和代表的广泛代表 与会者将带来一次出色的会议。

The purpose of this application is to obtain partial support for the 1991 Winter Gordon Research Conference on Glycoproteins and Glycolipids. The Conference will emphasize recent advances in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics which are leading to a better understanding of the biological roles of carbohydrates in glycoproteins and glycolipids. The Conference should be of interest to researchers working on the cellular and molecular basis of diseases including cancer, neurological disorders, arthritis, blood clotting, developmental disorders, diabetes, infectious and lysosomal storage diseases and aging. Speakers and participants will be drawn from many different disciplines to ensure a broad coverage of the relevant topics and exchange of ideas and perspectives. Many of the speakers are internationally recognized as being the foremost experts in their respective areas of research. Care has also been taken to include among the speakers a significant number (approximately one half) who did not speak at the most recent Gordon Conference on Glycoproteins and Glycolipids. Several speakers are in their initial stages of an independent career but have already made important contributions to the field. About one-third of the speakers will be chosen between August and December 1990, to assure that recent important developments in the field are adequately represented. It is hoped that this broad representation of speakers and of participants will lead to an outstanding Conference.
