Third Symposium Cell Volume & Signalling Regulation

描述（由申请人提供）： 本申请请求部分支持于2003年9月20-24日在赖特州立大学举办细胞体积与信号转导国际研讨会。这是关于这一主题的系列专题讨论会的第三次，最初在斯洛伐克的斯莫莱尼采举行（1997年），后来在德国的柏林继续举行（2000年）。作为美国首个此类项目，它建立在前两次研讨会成功的基础上。它汇集了来自欧洲和美国的约80名科学家，他们从事正常和病理改变的细胞体积调节中的膜运输和信号转导领域，特别是心血管、上皮和神经细胞生理学领域。与会者包括性别科学家，他们的隆起已经确立，除了那些新兴的承诺。以下主题的多学科性质保证了主要研究领域之间的相互促进，这是本次会议的主要目标： 1.血液学和血管生物学和病理学，特别强调红细胞，血管平滑肌和内皮细胞。 2.肾脏和胃肠道生物学和病理学，特别是肾单位、胃肠道系统和肝脏的上皮细胞。 3.神经生物学，即，神经元和神经胶质细胞。 4.其他系统。 为了实现这些目标，会议将容纳约30名发言人（6-9讲座/天）和50海报主持人在赖特州立大学校园内的综合会议。在讲座之间的时间间隔，以及下午的海报会议和晚上的讲座/社交聚会上，将提供讨论的机会。校园会议场地提供讲座、海报和用餐的空间，并在附近的校外历史遗址举行聚会/会议，例如，代顿工程师俱乐部，全国著名的赖特帕特森空军博物馆和代顿艺术学院。具有成本效益的设置是理想的位置与参与者住房在酒店毗邻校园和3个机场（代顿，哥伦布和辛辛那提）附近。几所主要大学靠近WSU校园，为该地区的科学家提供了更多的机会。这次会议在俄亥俄州二百周年和莱特兄弟发明飞行百年纪念活动中占据了突出的位置。这次会议在美国本土的成功将促进高素质科学家在随后的国际会议上继续聚集

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests partial support to host an International Symposium on Cell Volume & Signal Transduction at Wright State University September 20-24, 2003. This is third in a symposia series on the topic and originated in Smolenice, Slovakia (1997) and continued in Berlin, Germany (2000). As the first of its kind in the U.S., it builds on the previous 2 symposia's success. It draws together approximately 80 scientists from Europe and the United States in the fields of membrane transport and signal transduction in normal and pathologically altered cell volume regulation, in particular, the areas of cardiovascular, epithelial and neuronal cell physiology. Participants encompass both gender scientists whose eminence is well established in addition to those with emerging promise. The following topics' multidisciplinary nature guarantees cross-fertilization between the major research fields, a major goal of this meeting: 1. Hematological and vascular biology and pathology with special emphasis on erythrocytes, vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. 2. Renal and gastrointestinal biology and pathology, particularly of epithelial cells of the nephron, the gastrointestinal system and the liver. 3. Neurobiology, i.e., neuronal and glial cells. 4. Other systems. To achieve these goals, the conference will accommodate approximately 30 speakers (6-9 lectures/day) and 50 poster presenters in integrated sessions within the Wright State University campus. Opportunity will be provided for discussions during time intervals between talks and in afternoon poster sessions and evening lecture/social gatherings. Campus conference sites offer space for lectures, posters and meals, combined with gatherings/meetings at nearby offcampus historic sites, e.g., Dayton Engineers Club, the nationally-acclaimed Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum and Dayton Art Institute. The cost-effective setting is ideally situated with participant housing in hotels adjacent to campus and 3 airports (Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati) nearby. The proximity of several major universities to WSU campus provides opportunity for greater attendance by scientists in the region. The meeting assumes a prominent position in the Ohio Bicentennial and Wright Brothers Invention of Flight Centennial celebrations. This meeting's success on U.S. soil will foster continuation of gathering of high-caliber scientists at subsequent international meetings
