10th Annual SFRBM Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）：我们为将于2003年11月20日至24日在华盛顿州西雅图喜来登酒店举行的第十届自由基生物学与医学学会（SFRBM；前身为氧气学会）申请部分资金。资金将用于支持受邀演讲者的差旅费、住宿费和注册费，以便从SFRBM的运营预算和年度会议收入中拨出资金，用于支持学生、研究员和年轻研究人员的旅行和参与，以及在会前研讨会“自由基生物学和医学方法及其在转化研究中的应用”上讲课的成员。本次研讨会将由该领域的专家为年轻或新的研究者提供讲座，内容包括用于体外和体内氧化/自由基介导反应的反应物和产物定量的概念、方法、解释和各种技术。然后，会议主体将开始为期四天，上午有六个（第一天）或四个（其他天）邀请全体会议演讲，下午有两个平行的会议。上午的四场全体会议的主题是：生物学和医学中自由基研究的演变和未来；蛋白质氧化：机制、测量和疾病标志物血管氧化还原信号传导与氧化应激线粒体活性氧在细胞信号传导和人类疾病中的作用。下午的讲座将从会员和非会员提交的摘要中挑选。每天下午的会议将由该领域选定的年轻研究人员主持。第二天、第三天和第四天的上午8:00-9:30，将举行“日出自由基学校”会议，这是SFRBM会议的一个鲜明特色，由该领域的资深科学家或专家向学生、研究员和年轻研究人员组成的观众介绍自由基化学和生物学的基本方面。海报展区将全天展出，并于下午4:30-6:30开放讨论。总的来说，会议将围绕活性氧和活性氮在生物学和医学中的不同作用进行广泛的研究。所提出的研究将对我们对衰老以及心血管、肿瘤、炎症和神经退行性疾病的理解产生影响，并将为抗氧化剂和治疗方法减轻这些疾病的机制提供新的见解。总之，会议提供了一个论坛，以交流自由基化学，生物学和医学方面最新的基础和应用研究，以及科学家们建立网络和讨论新的合作安排的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial funding for the 10th Annual Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM; formerly The Oxygen Society) to be held on November 20-24, 2003 at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers, Seattle, WA. Funds will support the travel, lodging and registration fees of invited speakers so that funds from the SFRBM operating budget and annual meeting income can be directed toward supporting the travel and participation of students, fellows and young investigators, as well as members lecturing in the pre-meeting workshop on "Methods in Free Radical Biology and Medicine and their Application to Translational Research". This workshop will provide lectures by experts in the field to young or new investigators on the concepts, approaches, interpretations and various techniques applied to the quantification of reactants and products of oxidant/free radical-mediated reactions in vitro and in vivo. The body of the meeting will then begin for four days, with six (first day) or four (other days) invited plenary lectures delivered in the morning and two parallel afternoon sessions. The themes of the four plenary sessions in the mornings are: The Evolution and Future of Free Radical Research in Biology and Medicine; Protein Oxidations: Mechanisms, Measurements and Markers of Disease; Vascular Redox Signaling and Oxidative Stress; and Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species in Cell Signaling and Human Disease. The lectures delivered in the afternoon sessions will be selected from abstracts submitted by Society members and non-members at large. Each afternoon session will be chaired by selected young investigators in the field. From 8:00-9:30 am on days two, three and four, the Sunrise Free Radical School will be held, a distinct characteristic of the SFRBM Meeting featuring senior scientists or experts in the field addressing fundamental aspects of free radical chemistry and biology to an audience consisting of students, fellows and young investigators. Poster sessions will be displayed all day and will be open for discussion between 4:30-6:30 pm. Overall, sessions will address a broad range of research endeavors surrounding the diverse roles that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species play in biology and medicine. Research presented will have an impact on our understanding of aging as well as cardiovascular, neoplastic, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, and will provide new insight into mechanisms by which antioxidants and therapeutics attenuate these diseases. In summary, the conference provides a forum for exchange of the most recent basic and applied research in free radical chemistry, biologv and medicine as well as an opportunity for scientists to network and discuss new collaborative arrangements.
