FASEB Conference: Transport ATPases

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份为FASEB夏季研究会议“转运atp酶：结构、机制、基因组学和疾病”申请部分资金的申请。会议将于2007年6月9日至14日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。会议的目标是将130-150名参与者聚集在一个僻静的环境中，进行为期五天的广泛科学对话。该计划包括两个特别讲座，九个会议，每个会议四场，其中包括一个新的会议，重点是转化研究，三个海报会议，一个青年研究者论坛，以及一个特别讨论小组，以促进生物技术和制药公司的学术科学家和研究科学家之间的交流。深入的主题将包括对p型、f型、v型和abc型ATP酶的新研究，所有这些ATP酶都是利用ATP能量进行基本生理过程的膜蛋白。范围将从晶体结构、atp酶作为纳米马达、运输机制、生理作用、基因组学、引起疾病的人类突变，以及atp酶在人类、小鼠和酵母健康和疾病中的调节。几位演讲者将开始独立的职业生涯，海报会议和青年研究员会议将促进年轻和年长科学家之间的交流。将强调妇女、少数民族和残疾科学家的征聘和参与。预计这次会议将是一个令人兴奋的方式，让专注于进化不同类别的atp酶的科学家们了解彼此领域的进展，并为具有共同兴趣但不同培训的人们，从生物物理学到细胞生物学到遗传学再到临床医生，建立关系和促进合作。这一主题与一系列广泛的疾病有关，其中一些是研究结果中最成功治疗的疾病。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for partial funding for the FASEB Summer Research Conference entitled "Transport ATPases: Structure, Mechanism, Genomics, and Disease". The conference will be held at Vermont Academy, Saxtons River, Vermont from June 9-14, 2007. The goal of the meeting is to bring together a group of 130-150 participants in a secluded environment for five days of extensive scientific dialog. The program encompasses two special lectures, nine sessions with four lectures each, including a new session focused on translational research, three poster sessions, one young investigator forum, and a special discussion panel to foster communication between academic scientists and research scientists in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Topics to be included in depth will include new research on the P-type, F-type, V-type, and ABC-type ATPases, all of which are membrane proteins that harness the energy of ATP to essential physiological processes. The scope will extend from crystal structures, ATPases as nanomotors, transport mechanisms, physiological roles, genomics, disease-causing human mutations, and the regulation of ATPases during human, mouse, and yeast health and disease. Several speakers will be at the beginning of independent careers, and the poster sessions and Young Investigator sessions will foster communication between younger and older scientists. Recruitment and participation of women, minorities, and scientists with disabilities will be emphasized. It is expected that the conference will be a stimulating way for scientists who concentrate on evolutionarily-distinct classes of ATPases to stay abreast of progress in each others fields, and for people with common interests but diverse training, from biophysics to cell biology to genetics to clinicians, to establish relationships and foster collaborations. The subject is related to a wide range of diseases, some of which count among the most successfully treated as a result of research.
