13th Annual SFRBM Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）：我们要求为自由基生物学和医学学会（SFRBM;前身为氧气学会）第13届年会提供部分资金，该年会将于2006年11月15日至19日在丹佛的亚当马克酒店举行。 会议之前将举行一个关于氧化应激和氧化还原信号中硫醇基团的研讨会，由该领域的专家向年轻和其他感兴趣的研究人员提供有关概念，技术和最先进的实验方法的解释的讲座，用于检测细胞/组织/生物体中硫醇状态的变化。 然后，为期四天的会议将开始，上午将举行应邀的全体会议，下午/晚上的三次平行会议将口头介绍选定的摘要。 四次全体会议的主题是：血管生成和血管反应性的氧化还原调节;环境和职业性肺病中的氧化剂和抗氧化剂;氧化线粒体修饰：蛋白质，DNA和脂质;以及作为人类疾病治疗剂的有机物复合物。 作为一个新的特点，会议最后一天的前两个全体演讲将由SFRBM终身成就奖和SFRBM发现奖的获奖者发表。在每天上午的全体讲座之前，将举行日出自由基学校，这是SFRBM年会的一个鲜明特点，该领域的高级科学家将向学生，研究员和其他感兴趣的研究人员介绍自由基化学和生物学的基本方面。 下午的讲座将从学会会员和非会员提交的摘要中选出。 每天下午的会议将由选定的外地年轻调查员主持。 未被选中进行口头介绍的摘要将在三次为期一天的海报会议上介绍。 海报将在晚上开放供讨论。总的来说，SFRBM '06将解决与活性氧和氮在生物学和医学中发挥的不同作用有关的广泛的研究课题。 所呈现的研究数据将对我们对衰老，癌症，糖尿病，炎症和免疫以及心血管疾病的理解产生重大影响，并将为抗氧化剂和治疗剂可用于帮助预防或治疗这些疾病的机制提供新的见解。 该会议为自由基化学，生物学和医学的最新基础和应用研究成果的交流提供了一个论坛，并为该领域的科学家提供了一个建立网络和安排新合作的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial funding for the 13th Annual Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM; formerly The Oxygen Society) to be held November 15-19, 2006 at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Denver CO. Funds will support travel, lodging, and registration fees of invited speakers and travel for students. The meeting will be preceded by a workshop on The Thiol Group in Oxidative Stress and Redox Signaling, providing lectures by experts in the field to young and other interested investigators on the concepts, techniques, and interpretations of state-of-the-art-experimental approaches for detecting changes in thiol status in cells/tissues/ organisms. The body of the four-day meeting will then begin, featuring invited plenary lectures in the morning and oral presentations of selected abstracts in three parallel afternoon/evening sessions. The themes of the four plenary sessions are: Redox regulation of angiogenesis and vascular reactivity; Oxidants and antioxidants in environmental and occupational lung disease; Oxidative mitochondrial modifications: Proteins, DNA, & lipids; and Organometallic complexes as therapeutic agents in human disease. As a new feature, the first two plenary lectures on the final day of the conference will be delivered by the recipients of the SFRBM Lifetime Achievement Award and SFRBM Discovery Award. Before the plenary lectures each morning, the Sunrise Free Radical School will be held, a distinct characteristic of the SFRBM Annual Meetings, featuring senior scientists in the field addressing fundamental aspects of free radical chemistry and biology to an audience of students, fellows, and other interested investigators. 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. Abstracts not selected for oral presentation will be presented in three one-day poster sessions. Posters will be open for discussion in the evenings. Overall, SFRBM '06 will address a broad range of research topics related to the diverse roles that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species play in biology and medicine. Research data presented will have a significant impact on our understanding of aging, cancer, diabetes, inflammation and immunity, and cardiovascular diseases, and will provide new insights into mechanisms by which antioxidants and therapeutics can be used to help prevent or treat these conditions. The conference provides a forum for exchange of the most recent basic and applied research results in free radical chemistry, biology, and medicine as well as an opportunity for scientists in the field to network and arrange for new collaborations.
