2002 FASEB Meeting on Protein Phosphatases

描述（由申请人提供）： 蛋白质在丝氨酸、苏氨酸和酪氨酸残基上的磷酸化是控制诸如生长和增殖、分化、细胞骨架功能、细胞周期和代谢等基本细胞过程的基本要素。 虽然蛋白激酶的研究从一开始就主导了蛋白磷酸化领域，但最近，人们对蛋白磷酸酶结构和功能的兴趣激增。 第七届FASEB蛋白磷酸酶会议将于2002年7月13日至18日在科罗拉多斯诺马斯村举行，会议的目的是介绍蛋白磷酸酶领域最新和最令人兴奋的主题，讨论将影响未来研究的新兴技术，以主题演讲的形式表彰该领域特定研究人员的杰出成就，并鼓励新的人员，特别是初级调查人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与实地工作。 除了典型的科学会议外，会议还将举行一个关于新兴技术的开幕式小型研讨会，重点是质谱方法和成像技术，以及诺贝尔奖赢家Paul Greengard的主题演讲。 正式会议将有5-6个长（约30分钟）会谈和1-2个短（15分钟）会谈。 大多数（40名）正式发言者已经受到邀请，几乎所有（38名）都确认出席。 其余的演讲，包括所有的简短演讲，将根据未来几个月令人兴奋的新发展和/或与会者提交的摘要进行选择。 这些会议将围绕科学主题组织，并将穿插介绍丝氨酸-苏氨酸和酪氨酸磷酸酶。 此外，还将举办两场海报发布会。 根据以往的会议情况，我们预计共有150-175人出席。 本提案中要求的资金将使更多的年轻研究人员、学生和博士后研究员能够参与，特别是那些没有自己资金的人。 我们希望，跨磷酸酶领域工作的综合介绍将促进凝聚力和最令人兴奋的发展的自由交流。 随后的会议（2004年和2006年）将采用类似的形式，并将包括在这些会议期间最相关的议题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The phosphorylation of proteins on serine, threonine and tyrosine residues is an essential element in the control of such fundamental cellular processes as growth and proliferation, differentiation, cytoskeletal function, the cell cycle and metabolism. Although work on protein kinases has dominated the field of protein phosphorylation since its inception, recently, there has been an explosion of interest in protein phosphatase structure and function. The objectives of the seventh FASEB Conference on Protein Phosphatases, to be held at Snowmass Village, Colorado, July 13-18, 2002, are to present the latest and most exciting topics in the Protein Phosphatase field, to discuss emerging technologies that will impact future research, to recognize outstanding achievement by a specific investigator in the field in the form of a Keynote Lecture, and to encourage new participation in the field, particularly by junior investigators, women and under-represented minorities. In addition to typical scientific sessions, the meeting will feature an Opening AMini-Symposium@ on Emerging Technologies, focusing on mass spectrometric methods and imaging technology, and a Keynote address by Nobel prize winner Paul Greengard. Formal sessions will have 5-6 long (approximately 30 minute) talks and 1-2 short (15 minutes) talks. Most (40) of the formal speakers have been invited already, and nearly all (38) have confirmed their attendance. The remainder of the presentations, including all of the short talks, will be chosen on the basis of exciting new developments over the next several months and/or abstracts submitted by Conferees. These sessions will be organized around scientific themes and will have interspersed presentations on serine-threonine and tyrosine phosphatases. There also will be two poster sessions. We anticipate a total attendance of 150-175 individuals, based on previous meetings. The funds requested in this proposal will enable more young investigators, students and post-doctoral fellows to participate, particularly those without their own funding. We hope that the integrated presentation of work across the phosphatase field will foster a sense of cohesiveness and a free exchange of the most exciting developments. The subsequent meetings (2004 and 2006) will follow a similar format and will include topics that are most relevant at the times of those meetings.
