MECHANISMS OF TOXICITY GORDON CONFERENCE

毒性机制戈登研究会议(GRC)自1956年以来每两年举行一次。1992年，会议重新聚焦于分子毒理学和对环境侮辱产生不良反应的机制。以目前的形式，会议探讨了生物防治的基本问题和毒物暴露的影响。2000年的主题包括：1-细胞凋亡；2-细胞信号/细胞周期控制；3-转录控制；4-线粒体对细胞存活的调控；5-氧化损伤；以及6)基因组学和蛋白质组学在毒理学中的应用。演讲者是各自领域的领导者，将提供一个令人兴奋的跨学科计划，旨在吸引广泛的毒理学家和生物医学科学家。该项目包括国际公认的领导人和才华横溢的新调查人员。为出席会议的初级调查员分配了时间，在从摘要中挑选出来的讲台上介绍他们的工作，并在海报上发言。联席主席担任每届会议的讨论带头人，并担任后来的分组会议的主席。通过这些方式，会议的组织是为了最大限度地参与，并增加与会者和发言者以及高级和初级调查人员和学生之间的互动。毒性机制GRC在过去几年得到了NIEHS的资助，这是基于该项目的高质量和会议对毒理学的重要贡献。尽管如此，会议组织者一直对研究科和与会者以前提供的意见作出了回应。因此，会议议程包括新的议题，并继续更新前几年的议题，这些议题仍然是前沿议题。担任主席和联合主席的新人员也有大量参与。因此，戈登毒性机制研究会议将继续发展成为分子毒理学的唯一和领先的小型会议。

The Mechanisms of Toxicity Gordon Research Conference (GRC) has been held biannually since 1956. In 1992, the conference refocused on molecular toxicology and mechanisms that underlie adverse response to environmental insults. In its present form, the meeting probes basic question in biological control and the impact of toxicant exposure. Topics covered in the year 2000 include: 1-Apoptosis; 2-Cell Signaling/Cell Cycle Control; 3-Transcriptional Control; 4-Mitochondrial Regulation of Cell Survival; 5-Oxidant Injury; and 6) Application of genomics and proteomics to Toxicology. Speakers are leaders in their fields and will provide an exciting cross-disciplinary program designed to appeal to a broad range of Toxicologists and biomedical scientists. The program includes internationally recognized leaders and talented new investigators. Time is allotted for junior investigators attending the meeting to present their work in podium presentations selected from the abstracts and in poster sessions. Co-Chairs serve as discussion leaders in each session and also as Chairs of the Later Breaking sessions. In these ways, the meeting is organized to maximize participation and increase interactions among attendees and speakers as well as senior and junior investigators and students. The Mechanisms of Toxicity GRC has received funding from NIEHS in past years based on the high quality of the program and the important contribution of the meeting to the Science of Toxicology. Nonetheless, the Conference Organizers have been responsive to previous input from both Study Section and the participants. Thus, the agenda for the meeting includes new topics mixed with continued updates on topics from previous years that remain cutting edge issues. There is also substantial involvement of new personnel as Chairs and Co-Chairs. Thus, the Gordon Research Conference on Mechanisms of Toxicity is poised to continue its growth as the singular and leading small conference on Molecular Toxicology.
