2013 Cell Growth and Proliferation GRC/GRS

描述(申请人提供)：2013年戈登细胞生长和增殖研究会议将于6月23-28日在佛蒙特州西多佛市雪山度假村举行。这次会议将聚集大约200名研究人员、博士后研究员和学生，讨论在细胞周期控制、生长和G1进展、染色体复制和动力学、有丝分裂、DNA损伤和细胞周期检查点、癌基因和肿瘤抑制基因、信号转导、发育和癌症干细胞、癌症动物模型和临床应用等领域的最新进展。这项提案要求提供资金，为来自北美和海外的应邀与会者提供部分旅费和生活费。在一个正在迅速发展的领域，这次会议将是一次及时而重要的会议。这次会议相当独特，因为它提供了一种形式，聚集了一系列非凡的研究人员，他们的集体方法涵盖了细胞生物学、生化、分子和遗传学方法，这些方法解决了细胞增殖调控中的中心问题。戈登会议的形式提供了一个独特的环境，鼓励与会者进行非正式和公开的讨论，这反过来又促进了合作努力的启动，并促进了未来的研究方向。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2013 Gordon research Conference on Cell Growth and Proliferation will be held at Mount Snow Resort, West Dover, VT from June 23 - 28. The conference will bring together approximately 200 investigators, post- doctoral fellows and students for a discussion of recent advances in the areas of cell cycle control, growth and G1 progression, chromosome replication and dynamics, mitosis, DNA damage and cell cycle checkpoints, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, signal transduction, development and cancer stem cells, animal models for cancer, and clinical applications. This proposal requests funds to provide partial support for travel and subsistence expenses for invited participants from North America and overseas. This conference will be a timely and important meeting in an area that is rapidly growing. This conference is fairly unique in that it provides a format that brings together an extraordinary range of investigators whose collective approaches encompass cell biological, biochemical, molecular and genetic methods that address central issues in the regulation of cellular proliferation. The Gordon Conference format provides a unique environment that encourages informal and open discussion among the participants and this in turn fosters initiation of collaborative efforts and stimulates future research directions.
