2007 Molecular Membrane Biology GRC

描述（由申请人提供）：这笔赠款将部分支持旅费和会议费的发言者和会议主席谁已被邀请参加分子膜生物学（MMB）戈登会议将于2007年7月8日至13日在普罗克特学院在安多弗，新罕布什尔州。这次会议汇集了从事膜结构和功能各个方面工作的科学家，包括囊泡运输，细胞器生物发生和结构，脂质生物学，膜蛋白结构和功能以及蛋白质易位。因此，MMB具有很大的价值，因为它有助于研究人员之间的详细讨论和科学交流，重点是了解膜功能的复杂性。拟议的会议主题包括：进入急诊室;穿过高尔基体;脂质转运和定位;囊泡形成;病原体和膜运输;细胞器结构和动力学;膜结构域;膜融合;到达质膜我们邀请了一群不同的演讲者，其中许多人是职业生涯的早期，其中22%是女性。我们至少留出了19个空缺，供从提交的摘要中选择的其他简短演讲，增加了我们听到最新和令人兴奋的结果的机会，并使我们的演讲者多样化。我们邀请了几位知名调查员（33%为女性）担任会议主席，并在每次会议结束时留出20分钟，让主席介绍概况，并就当前的争议、未解决的问题和未来的方向进行一般性讨论，以吸引大部分听众。这次会议通常是超额认购，被认为是一个'必须参加'的许多领域。与会者进行的研究由几个NIH研究所资助，包括NIGMS，NCI，NEI，NIDDK，NICHD，NIMH和NIAID。因此，所讨论的工作对人类健康和疾病具有普遍意义。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant will partially support travel costs and conference fees for speakers and session Chairs who have been invited to participate in the Molecular Membrane Biology (MMB) Gordon Conference to be held July 8-13, 2007 at Proctor Academy in Andover, NH. This meeting brings together scientists working on all aspects of membrane structure and function, including vesicle trafficking, organelle biogenesis and structure, lipid biology, membrane protein structure and function, and protein translocation. Hence, MMB has great value in that it facilitates detailed discussion and scientific exchange between investigators focused on understanding the complexity of membrane function. Proposed session topics include: Entering the ER; Traversing the Golgi; Lipid Transport and Localization; Vesicle Formation; Pathogens and Membrane Traffic; Organelle Structure and Dynamics; Membrane Domains; Membrane Fusion; and Reaching the Plasma Membrane. We have invited a diverse group of speakers, many of whom are early in their careers and 22% of whom are female. We have left open at least 19 slots for additional short presentations chosen from submitted abstracts, increasing our opportunities for hearing the most recent and exciting results and diversifying our speakers. We have invited several established investigators (33% female) to serve as session Chairs, and have set aside 20 minutes at the end of each session for the Chairs to present an overview and to lead a general discussion of current controversies, unresolved issues, and future directions, in a manner that will engage a large percentage of the audience. This meeting is generally oversubscribed and is considered a 'must-attend' for many in the field. Research conducted by attendees is funded by several NIH institutes, including NIGMS, NCI, NEI, NIDDK, NICHD, NIMH and NIAID. Thus, the work discussed is of general significance to human health and disease.
