2012 Oxygen Radicals Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：“氧自由基”戈登会议旨在为化学家、生物学家、生物化学家、细胞生物学家、临床医生和其他生物医学科学家提供人类病理生理学背景下活性氧物种的最新知识。这包括更传统的氧化损伤和抗氧化剂领域，但也包括通过氧化剂与细胞信号通路的反应，氧化剂介导的氧化还原信号的重要性日益增加。该研究会议每两年举行一次，自1981年以来已举办了十五届。根据大量的申请者和强有力的会后评价，这些会议证明是极具成效的。即将举行的会议包括：心血管病理的氧化还原调节，活性氧的新检测策略，质谱：氧化还原宇宙的新视角，线粒体：氧化还原细胞器，血红素蛋白和活性氮，癌症生物学中的氧化还原过程。受邀的演讲者代表了肺部、心血管疾病、炎症和毒理学中自由基研究的当前和未来的领导者。此外，还有13个发言者名额为选定的抽象演讲保留。会议结束时，该领域杰出的长期研究者、自由基生物学和医学学会前任主席Victor Darley-Usmar教授将发表主题演讲。另外还安排了两次单独的海报会议，每次两天。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The "Oxygen Radicals" Gordon Conference is designed to provide chemists, biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, clinicians, and other biomedical scientists with state-of-the-art knowledge on reactive oxygen species in the context of human pathophysiology. This encompasses the more traditional areas of oxidative damage and antioxidants, but also incorporates the growing importance of oxidant-mediated redox signaling through the reactions of oxidants with cellular signaling pathways. This research conference is held every two years and fifteen have been held since 1981. These meetings have proven to be extremely productive based on the large number of applicants and the strong post-meeting evaluations. The sessions for the upcoming meeting include: Redox modulation of Cardiovascular Pathology, Novel Detection Strategies for Reactive Oxygen Species, Mass spectrometry: A new view of the redox universe, Mitochondria: A redox organelle, Heme proteins and reactive nitrogen species, Redox processes in Cancer biology. The invited speakers represent current and future leaders in free radical research in pulmonary, cardiovascular disease and inflammation and toxicology. Additionally, there 13 speaker slots reserved for selected abstract presentations. A keynote lecture at the end of the conference is presented by outstanding long term investigator in the field, and past-president of the Society of Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Professor Victor Darley-Usmar. Two separate poster sessions of two days each are also scheduled. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Free radicals and oxidants have been implicated in all the major human pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The conference brings together the leading scientists in the field to share and discuss their current un-published research findings which will stimulate new endeavors and promote novel ways to improve human health.
