Uppsala ECD-ETD Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：会议的目标是将电子捕获解离和最近开发的电子转移解离的从业者聚集在一起，讨论这些技术如何以及何时更容易地用于NIH及其资助的实验室感兴趣的生物研究领域。 这些技术的主要开发者，Zubarev博士，McLafford博士和Hunt博士，已经接受了演讲邀请。此外，关键的早期采用者实验室，Costello，Turecek和Peter-Katalinic博士，已经接受了。其他人也将受到邀请。 会议将汇集两个团体。那些谁理解的方法的基础知识，并在他们的实验室使用它，以及那些谁已经开始实验的方法来解决感兴趣的生物学和生物化学的实际问题。预计将有50至100人出席。 会议将于2005年12月6日至9日在一个僻静的地点举行，距离SEATAC国际机场45分钟车程。之所以选择在美国西海岸的Salish Lodge and Spa进行试验，是因为：1）该地点位于北美大陆，靠近NIH赞助的实验室，而前两次会议在北方欧洲，因此远离可能从这项新技术的传播中受益的应用专家; 2）该地点同样靠近欧洲和亚洲，至少有一半的从业者居住在那里。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The conference objective is to bring together practitioners of electron capture dissociation and the recently developed electron transfer dissociation for discussions about how and when these technologies will become more readily utilized in areas of biological research of interest to the NIH and the laboratories it funds. The key developers of these technologies, Drs. Zubarev, McLafferty and Hunt, have accepted invitations to speak. Additionally, key early adopter laboratories, Drs. Costello, Turecek and Peter-Katalinic, have accepted. Others will be invited as well. The conference will bring together two groups. Those who understand the fundamentals of the methodology and use it in their laboratories, and those who have begun to experiment with the methodology to solve practical problems of interest in biology and biochemistry. It is expected that attendance will be from 50 to 100. The conference will be held from December 6-9, 2005, at a secluded location 45 minutes drive from SEATAC International Airport. The performance site, Salish Lodge and Spa on the Western coast of the United States, was chosen because it is 1) on the North American continent close to NIH sponsored laboratories whereas the first two meetings were in Northern Europe and thus too far removed from applications experts likely to benefit from dissemination of this new technology and 2) equally close to Europe and Asia where at least half of the practitioners reside.
