2016 Bones & Teeth Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

 描述（由申请人提供）：2016年骨骼和牙齿戈登研究会议连同会前戈登研究研讨会将汇集高级和初级研究人员谁是领导者在各种相互关联和相互关联的学科必不可少的全面和包容性的研究和了解骨骼和牙齿及其后天和先天性疾病。重点将放在代表这些领域未来研究人员的初级研究人员和受训人员上。整个会议期间的科学介绍、正式和非正式讨论以及海报展示旨在扩大对骨骼和牙齿正常发育和维持的遗传、分子和细胞机制和过程的理解，这些过程在疾病期间如何变化，以及它们如何促进-以及正在促进-新的思维，以发展有效的战略，治疗骨骼疾病和修复或再生骨骼和牙齿。鉴于其形式，会议提供了一个论坛，用于扩展讨论和对话，互动，网络，考虑新的假设和未满足的研究需求，以及对年轻研究人员和学员特别有用的职业考虑。在过去的几年里，在骨骼和牙齿研究中产生了新颖的、非常重要的和意义深远的发现，更深入地阐明了它们的生物学、结构和功能的纯粹复杂性，确定了新的局部和系统性调节相互作用、相互作用和回路，并发现了组织健康和疾病中以前未被怀疑的成分和参与者。2016年会议将利用所有这些新的重要发现，旨在为与会者提供：对骨骼和牙齿的生物和生理复杂性有更广泛的了解和展望;目前正在测试的治疗策略的有形和直接的例子;以及考虑和讨论未来策略的机会。戈登会议一贯具有的合议和合作气氛将为智力发展和激励提供一个完美的环境，推动骨骼和牙齿的研究领域朝着更大的研究成果和更有效的疾病治疗前进。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2016 Bones & Teeth Gordon Research Conference together with the pre-meeting Gordon Research Seminar will bring together senior and junior investigators who are leaders in a variety of interconnected and interrelated disciplines essential for a comprehensive and encompassing study and understanding of bones and teeth and their acquired and congenital disorders. Great emphasis will be on the junior investigators and trainees who represent the future researchers in these fields. The scientific presentations, formal and informal discussions and poster presentations throughout the Conference are designed to expand the understanding of the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms and processes by which bones and teeth develop and are maintained normally, how these processes change during disease and how they have facilitated -and are facilitating- new thinking towards development of effective strategies to treat skeletal diseases and repair or regenerate bones and teeth. Given its format, the Conference provides a forum for extended discussions and conversations, interactions, networking, considerations of novel hypotheses and unmet research needs, and career considerations particularly useful for the young investigators and trainees. The last few years have produced novel, very important and far-reaching discoveries in bone and tooth research, have clarified in ever greater depth the sheer complexity of their biology, structure and function, have identified novel local and systemic regulatory interactions, interplays and circuits, and have unearthed previously unsuspected constituents and players in both tissue health and disease. The 2016 Conference will leverage all these new and important findings and aims to provide the attendees with: a broader appreciation and prospective of the biological and physiological complexity of bones and teeth; tangible and direct examples of therapeutic strategies being tested at the moment; and opportunities for consideration and discussion of future ones. The collegial and cooperative atmosphere that invariably characterizes a Gordon Conference will provide a perfect setting for intellectual development and stimulation and impetus to move the research fields on bones and teeth ahead toward ever greater research achievements and ever more effective disease treatments.
