2013 Carbohydrate GRC

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案请求部分支持将于2013年夏季在佛蒙特州西多佛市雪山度假村举行的关于碳水化合物作为戈登研究会议的会议，于2013年6月16日至6月21日举行。这次会议持续广泛和长期的目标是将来自一系列化学和生化学科的糖类科学家聚集在一起，介绍和讨论他们最新的未发表研究，目的是定义碳水化合物研究领域的新的基本问题和潜在的答案。这次会议的具体目标将是：1)汇聚充分代表当前和未来碳水化合物科学界的广泛领域的糖类科学家；2)创造一个环境，让碳水化合物研究领域的世界领先者和新星可以展示他们的最新成果；3)召开一次会议，反映碳水化合物研究领域最重要和最新兴的领域。这一应用和碳水化合物戈登研究会议的意义在于，这次会议将提供一个独特的国际论坛，将具有化学和生物背景的广泛的糖科科学家聚集在一起。这一应用程序与健康相关的是，所产生的讨论将有助于定义与基础和应用糖科学相关的重要问题。人们相信，对这些问题的回答将最终导致基于碳水化合物的新的治疗和诊断方法的发展，适用于广泛的人类疾病状态。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a meeting on Carbohydrates as a Gordon Research Conference to be held at Mount Snow Resort in West Dover, Vermont from June 16 to June 21 in the summer of 2013. The continuing broad and long-term goals of this conference are to bring together glyco-scientists from a range of chemical and biochemical disciplines to present and discuss their latest unpublished research with the aim of defining new fundamental questions and potential answers to the field of carbohydrate research. The specific aims of this meeting will be: 1) to bring together a broad spectrum of glyco-scientists who fully represent the current and future carbohydrate scientific community; 2) to create an environment where world leaders and raising stars in carbohydrate research can present their latest results; 3) to put together a conference that reflects the most important and emerging areas in carbohydrate research areas. The significances of this application and the Carbohydrate Gordon research conference are that this conference will provide a unique international forum to bring together wide range of glycoscientists with chemistry and biology backgrounds. The health relatedness of this application is that the discussions generated will help define important questions relating to basic and applied glycosciences. It is believed that the answering of these questions will ultimately lead to the development of new carbohydrate based therapeutic and diagnostics for a broad range of human disease states.
