2007 Mechanisms of Cell Signalling Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：提议的会议，信号转导机制，将是该主题的第五届戈登会议。自1999年成立以来，这一直是一个关键的，真正的国际会议，为科学家研究小gtpase，它们的效应物，和它们的调节，所有这些调节正常的细胞过程，如增殖，极性，迁移和基因表达，并有助于疾病过程，如癌症。会议将于2007年9月16日至21日在英国牛津的Magdelene学院举行。这些会议提供了一个独特的论坛，讨论细胞生物学的重要问题，这些问题是调节的，或者是由Ras超家族的GTPases成员调节的。这些会议围绕生物学主题进行安排，以加强主要目标，即通过将不同群体的细胞和结构生物学家和生物化学家聚集在一起，在亲密的环境中分享各自领域的最新发展，从而刺激思想的交叉授粉。本次会议将邀请来自美国、欧洲和日本的38位演讲者，并从提交的摘要中选择其他简短的演讲。特别注意纳入妇女、青年和少数民族调查员。8个口头会议和4个海报会议将通过会议现场的非正式互动来加强，以发展新的想法和合作关系。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed conference, Mechanisms of Signal transduction, will be the fifth Gordon Conference on this topic. Since its inception in 1999, this has been a key, truly international meeting for scientists studying small GTPases, their effectors, and their regulators, all of which regulate normal cellular processes as diverse as proliferation, polarity, migration and gene expression, and that contribute to disease processes such as cancer. The conference will be held September 16-21, 2007, at Magdelene College in Oxford, UK. These conferences have provided a unique forum for addressing important questions of cell biology that regulate, or are regulated by, members of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. These conferences are arranged around biological themes to enhance the principal objective, which is to stimulate cross-pollination of ideas among a diverse group of cell and structural biologists and biochemists by bringing them together in an intimate setting to share the latest developments in their fields. There are 38 invited speakers from the United States, Europe, and Japan, with additional short presentations to be selected from submitted abstracts. Special attention has been paid to inclusion of women, and of young and minority investigators. The 8 oral sessions and 4 poster sessions will be enhanced by informal interactions at the conference site to develop new ideas and collaborative relationships.
