Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Conferences

描述（由申请人提供）：会议的目的是鼓励在核酸结构和功能研究前沿工作的科学家社区内转移思想和信息。会议期间讨论的主题对生物医学科学的所有领域都至关重要，包括遗传学，基因表达，亚细胞成分的组织和癌症生物学。由于其广泛性，核酸戈登研究会议吸引了具有物理，化学和生物背景的科学家。因此，尽管更多的专门会议不断增加，但本次会议在产生和传播该领域的新发展方面继续发挥着开创性作用。 2003年的会议将强调基本生物过程的机制，包括转录、蛋白质合成、DNA复制和染色体维持。2001年的九个会议分别是：（1）基因组学与生物信息学，（2）单分子研究，（3）DNA复制、纯化与修复，（4）翻译，（5）核酸修饰与治疗，（6）催化核酸，（7）RNA调控与加工，（8）折叠与识别，（9）染色质与转录。该会议旨在汇集杰出的高级科学家，初级研究人员和对核酸研究感兴趣的学生。与会者被邀请参加2003年会议是基于他们的科学成就，或他们在核酸研究领域的职业潜力。发言人和会议主席在年龄、性别和国籍方面保持平衡。正在尽一切努力，包括和功能初级教师，博士后研究人员和学生除了既定的调查。在正式讲座之后，会分配充足的时间进行讨论。海报会议和可选的娱乐活动将促进与会者之间的非正式互动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the conference is to encourage the transfer of ideas and information within the community of scientists working at the forefront of research on the structure and function of nucleic acids. The topics addressed during the meeting are vital to all areas of the biomedical sciences, including genetics, gene expression, organization of sub-cellular components, and cancer biology. Because of its breadth, the Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Conference attracts scientists with physical, chemical, and biological backgrounds. Thus, this meeting continues to play a seminal role in generating and disseminating new developments in the field, despite the proliferation of more specialized meetings. The 2003 conference will emphasize the mechanisms of fundamental biological processes including transcription, protein synthesis, DNA replication and chromosome maintenance. The nine sessions of the meeting in 2001 are as follows: (1) Genomics & Bioinformatics, (2) Single Molecule Studies, (3) DNA Replication, Recombination, & Repair, (4) Translation, (5) Nucleic Acid Modifications & Therapeutics, (6) Catalytic Nucleic Acids, (7) RNA Regulation & Processing, (8) Folding & Recognition, and (9) Chromatin & Transcription. The Conference is designed to bring together prominent senior scientists, junior investigators and students with interests in research on nucleic acids. Participants have been invited to the 2003 Conference based on their scientific accomplishments, or their potential for careers in nucleic acids research. The speakers and session chairs are balanced in age, gender, and nationality. Every effort is being made to include and feature junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers and students in addition to established investigators. Ample time is allotted for discussion following formal lectures. Poster sessions and optional recreational activities will stimulate informal interactions among participants.
