2013 Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins Gordon Research Conference & Gordon Research Semi

描述(由申请人提供)：关于真菌毒素和藻毒素的戈登研究会议(GRC)为展示真菌、藻类和蓝藻毒素及其生物体的尖端研究提供了一个国际论坛。这次多学科会议将涵盖这些自然灾害对生物学、生态学、遗传学、化学和健康的影响。2013年，会议将于6月16日至20日在马萨诸塞州伊斯顿的斯通希尔学院举行。会议的目标是聚集一大批尖端科学家，创造一种创造性思维的氛围，促进对这些自然产生的生物体和毒素所带来的复杂问题的了解。作出了相当大的努力，为参与者，包括杰出的科学家和有抱负的学生提供机会，在轻松的环境中互动，促进就对真菌毒素和藻毒素的社会和环境影响的未来研究至关重要的主题自由交流意见。在2013年会议上，将探讨当代主题，以促进对这些天然毒素和相关感兴趣专题的讨论。讨论包括：1)真菌毒素和藻毒素研究的前沿，2)新出现的毒素和毒素，3)作用机制，基因组学，蛋白质组学，以及毒性的系统发育基础，4)分析检测的进展：分析识别元件的使用，5)分析检测的进展：直接分析真菌毒素和藻毒素，6)暴发、暴露和风险评估，7)真菌毒素和藻毒素的进化和生态意义，8)预防和控制的策略和监管，以及9)未来的展望和方向。这次会议的独特之处在于，它汇集了一个由研究科学家和学生组成的不同的多学科小组，他们最终都专注于解决类似的问题-确保环境的健康以及食品供应的安全和保障。除了GRC，真菌毒素和藻毒素戈登-凯南研究研讨会(GRS)紧随GRC之前(2013年6月15日至16日)。GRS由研究生和博士后组织和指导，将使初级科学家能够向同行观众正式介绍他们的工作。这些学生随后将参加真菌毒素和藻毒素GRC，为促进未来研究人员和现有研究人员之间的互动提供了一个无与伦比的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins provides an international forum for the presentation of cutting-edge research on fungal, algal, and cyanobacterial toxins and the organisms that produce them. This multidisciplinary gathering will encompass the biology, ecology, genetics, chemistry and health effects of these natural hazards. In 2013, the conference will convene at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts, June 16-20. The goals of the conference are to assemble a critical mass of leading-edge scientists to create an atmosphere for creative thinking to advance knowledge of the complex problems presented by these naturally occurring organisms and toxins. Considerable effort is made to provide opportunities for participants, outstanding scientists and aspiring students alike, to interact in relaxed surroundings that promote the free exchange of ideas on topics vital to the future of research on the societal and environmental impacts of mycotoxins and phycotoxins. At the 2013 conference, contemporary themes will be explored to facilitate the discussion of these natural toxins and related topics of interest. Discussion sessions include: 1) frontiers in mycotoxin and phycotoxin research, 2) novel and emerging toxins and toxicities, 3) mechanisms of action, genomics, proteomics, and the phylogenetic basis of toxicity, 4) advances in analytical detection: use of analytical recognition elements, 5) advances in analytical detection: direct analysis of mycotoxins and phycotoxins, 6) outbreaks, exposure, and risk assessment, 7) evolution and ecological significance of mycotoxins and phycotoxins, 8) strategies and regulation for prevention and control, and 9) future perspectives and directions. The conference is unique in that it brings together a diverse multidisciplinary group of research scientists and students who are all ultimately focused on solving similar problems --- ensuring the health of the environment and the safety and security of the food supply. In addition to the GRC, a Mycotoxins & Phycotoxins Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar (GRS) immediately precedes the GRC (June 15-16, 2013). Organized and conducted by graduate students and postdocs, the GRS will enable junior scientists to formally present their work to an audience of peers. These students will subsequently participate in the Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins GRC providing an unmatched opportunity to promote interactions between future researchers and established ones.
