Oxygen Radicals 2008 Gordon Research Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 提交此申请是为了请求对2008年氧自由基生物学戈登研究会议(OxyRigence GRC)的支持，该会议将于2008年2月3日至8日在加利福尼亚州文图拉的文图拉海滩万豪酒店举行。请拨资金用于支付联席主席、联席副主席、发言者和讨论领袖的旅费和会议登记费，以及从美国和国外挑选进行口头海报介绍的新秀研究人员的旅费和会议登记费。 氧自由基全球资源中心在支持开放交流、促进科学发现和学习、弥合基础科学和应用科学之间的差距以及在所有会议上鼓励多样性(国籍、种族、性别、年龄、经验水平和行业的多样性)方面有着良好的记录。自1981年以来，已经举行了14次氧自由基GRC，所有这些都被证明是非常有成效和受欢迎的。 对于2008年氧自由基GRC，为个别会议选择的主题代表了对健康和疾病具有重要影响的基础研究领域。演讲者被邀请介绍他们在生物学中对氧自由基的最新研究。会议将包括但不限于：超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)；氧化应激、炎症和心血管系统；一氧化氮/亚硝酸盐生物化学和疾病；线粒体和自由基生成；糖尿病和氧化应激；以及氧化化学和医学。被邀请的26位演讲者代表了在肺病和心血管疾病、炎症和毒理学领域的自由基研究的当前和未来的不同领导者。总体而言，2008年氧自由基GRC将延续联合基础科学和应用科学的传统，通过为政府、学术和行业科学家提供机会来满足和分享他们的研究目标，鼓励科学交流，希望促进参与者之间的合作研究项目。(摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is being submitted to request support for the 2008 Oxygen Radicals in Biology Gordon Research Conference (Oxyradical GRC), which will be held from February 3-8, 2008 at the Ventura Beach Marriot Hotel in Ventura, California. Funds are requested to support travel and conference registration costs for co-Chairs, co-Vice-Chairs, speakers, and discussion leaders as well as up-and-coming researchers selected for oral poster presentations from the United States and abroad. The Oxyradical GRC has a proven track record of supporting open communication; furthering scientific discovery and learning; bridging the gap between basic and applied science; and encouraging diversity in all conferences (diversity of nationality, ethnicity, sex, age, experience level, and industry). Fourteen Oxyradical GRC's have been held since 1981, all of which have proven to be extremely productive and popular. For the 2008 Oxyradical GRC, topics chosen for individual sessions represent fundamental research areas that have important implications for health and disease. Speakers have been invited to present their latest research on oxygen radicals in biology. Sessions will include, but are not limited to: superoxide dismutase (SOD); oxidative stress, inflammation and cardiovascular system; NO/nitrite biochemistry and disease; mitochondria and free radical generation; diabetes and oxidative stress; and oxidative chemistry and medicine. The 26 invited speakers represent a diverse group of current and future leaders in free radical research in the fields of pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, inflammation and toxicology. Overall, the 2008 Oxyradical GRC will continue the tradition of uniting basic and applied science and encouraging scientific exchange by providing opportunities for government, academic, and industry scientists to meet and share their research goals, with the hope of fostering collaborative research projects between participants.
