2008 NOX Family NADPH Oxidases Gordon Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 第二届关于NOX家族NADPH氧化酶的两年一度的戈登会议将于2008年6月1日至6日在康涅狄格州新伦敦的科尔比索耶学院举行。与其前身一样，本次会议将是一个高质量的演讲和深入讨论这个令人兴奋的和新发现的蛋白质家族的最新发现的论坛。这些蛋白质的基础生物学和它们与临床医学的相关性将被强调，包括炎症，宿主防御，前庭功能和血管张力。基于该领域非常成功的第一次GRC会议，会议将反映该领域的国际兴趣，并吸引来自世界各地具有不同背景的科学家参与，包括细胞生物学，生物化学，植物学，分子遗传学，生理学和临床医学（神经病学，胃肠病学，肿瘤学，传染病和心脏病学）。这次会议将是唯一的集中场所，用于传播信息和促进研究动物和植物生物学中NADPH氧化酶不同方面的研究人员之间的沟通，并为该领域的学员和年轻研究人员提供一般教育论坛。参加GRC的与会者（会议主席，演讲者和参与者）通常有125-135人，其中约2/3是学院级研究科学家，1/3是研究生和博士后研究员。值得注意的是，我们的第一次会议容纳了超过150名科学家，反映了对该领域的高度兴趣。计划举行9次会议，共举行31次全体会议。每届会议将由一名该领域的知名专家主持。我们还计划包括从与会者提交的摘要中选择的大约6-8个简短的演讲。在第一次会议的基础上，我们预计将展出约90张海报。该计划将为各级科学家的参与提供机会，我们将特别促进初级研究人员，博士后学员和“新研究人员”的参与。(End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The second bi-annual Gordon Conference on NOX Family NADPH Oxidases will be held June 1-6, 2008, at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, Connecticut. Like its predecessor, this Conference will be a forum for high-quality presentations and in depth discussions of the most recent discoveries in this exciting and newly identified family of proteins. The basic biology of these proteins and their relevance to clinical medicine will be emphasized, including inflammation, host defense, vestibular function, and vascular tone. Based the highly successful first GRC conference in this field, the Conference will reflect the international interest in the field and attract participants from a worldwide group of scientists with diverse backgrounds, including cell biology, biochemistry, botany, molecular genetics, physiology, and clinical medicine (neurology, gastroenterology, oncology, infectious diseases, and cardiology). This meeting will represent the only centralized venue for disseminating information and facilitating communication between investigators studying different facets of the NADPH oxidases in animal and plant biology as well as providing a general educational forum for trainees and young investigators in the field. Conferees attending the GRC (session chairs, speakers, and participants) typically number 125-135, with approximately 2/3 facultylevel research scientists and 1/3 were graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Of note, our first meeting accommodated >150 scientists, reflecting the high level of interest in the field. There are nine planned sessions with a total of 31 plenary talks. A known expert in the field will chair each session. We also plan to include approximately 6-8 short talk presentations selected from abstracts submitted by meeting attendees. Based on the first meeting, we anticipate that ~90 posters will be displayed. The program will provide opportunities for participation of scientists at all levels and we will particularly promote the participation of junior investigators, postdoctoral trainees and "new investigators to the field".
