Lipidomics Session ISSFAL 2006

描述（由申请人提供）：我们寻求三位发言人的支持，以及三位年轻科学家的部分支持，作为ISSFAL，国际脂肪酸和脂质研究学会2006年会议的一部分脂质组学研讨会。2006年ISSFAL包括（第六届）必需脂肪酸和类花生酸国际大会和（第三届）母婴健康PUFA。预计将有大约600名与会者出席2006年7月23日至28日在澳大利亚凯恩斯举行的这次会议。脂质组学会议的目的是向高级和初级脂质研究人员介绍现代脂质组学质谱法，其中许多人从事酒精研究。最终目标是促进脂质和酒精研究人员使用现代脂质组学工具，并向一些杰出的演讲者介绍脂质代谢的新应用领域。该计划由六名发言人组成，他们都在质谱和脂质代谢方面发表了大量文章。组织者（Brenna博士和Kim博士）定期参加ISSFAL会议和国际质谱会议，并选择演讲者以反映脂质组学工作的广度，并与ISSFAL 2006会议的主题相对应。ISSFAL 2006预计将成为今年最重要的国际脂质代谢会议之一，鉴于这一领域的不断进展，脂质组学研讨会是及时的。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek support for three speakers, and partial support for three young scientists, for a Lipidomics Symposium as part of the 2006 Conference of ISSFAL, the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids. ISSFAL 2006 incorporates the (6th) International Congress on Essential Fatty Acids and Eicosanoids and the (3rd) PUFA in Maternal and Infant Health. About 600 attendees are expected to attend this conference, to be held 23-28 July 2006 in Cairns, Australia. The objective of the Lipidomics Session is to introduce modern lipidomic mass spectrometry to an audience of senior and junior lipid researchers, many of whom are working in alcohol research. The ultimate goal is to foster the use of modern lipidomics tools by lipid and alcohol researchers, and to introduce some of the distinguished speakers to new areas of application in lipid metabolism. The program consists of six speakers all with extensive publications in mass spectrometry and in lipid metabolism. The organizers (Drs Brenna and Kim) regularly attend the ISSFAL conferences and international mass spectrometry conferences, and chose the speakers to reflect a breadth of lipidomics work and to correspond with the themes of the ISSFAL 2006 conference. ISSFAL 2006 is expected to be among the most important international lipid metabolism conferences of the year, and a lipidomics symposium is timely given the increasing progress in this area.
