2019 Organellar Channels and Transporters Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

摘要 该项目旨在支持年轻教师，代表性不足的少数民族科学家，研究生 学生和博士后在2019年戈登研究会议（GRC）和相关 学生/博士后运行戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的“细胞器通道和转运。”这些 GRS和GRC将分别于2019年8月3日至4日和8月4日至9日在佛蒙特州西多佛举行。 这些会议将汇集来自许多学科的科学家对膜运输的工作 来自动物、植物和真菌系统中多种细胞内细胞器的蛋白质。他们的目标是 捕捉该领域的最新发现和不同领域之间整合的新趋势， 细胞器和过程，以及它们的相关性，为理解和治疗的共同和 与细胞器通道和转运蛋白功能障碍有关的罕见人类疾病。 会议将包括平台会议、简短会谈、海报会议、圆桌会议、公共用餐， 大量的社交时间和对话将为分享最新研究提供充足的机会 成果以及技术和概念的进步，探索合作的可能性， 寻找治疗人类疾病的新方法。 我们要求NCATS（作为主要研究所）和NIAMS（次要任务）提供资金，以支持 有突破性发现的初级特邀演讲者（助理和副教授） 在他们的职业生涯早期阶段;以促进研究生，博士后研究员和初级 教师，包括但不限于妇女和/或其他少数民族在GRS和GRC;并促进 资深和年轻科学家之间富有成效的科学和职业咨询讨论。

Abstract This project aims to support attendance of young faculty, under-represented minority scientists, graduate students and post-docs at the 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and associated student/postdoc-run Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on “Organellar Channels and Transporters.” These GRS and GRC will be held in West Dover, Vermont, on August 3-4 and August 4-9, 2019, respectively. These meetings will bring together scientists from many disciplines working on membrane transport proteins from a wide variety of intracellular organelles in animal, plant, and fungal systems. They aim to capture the most recent discoveries in the field and the emerging trends of integration among different organelles and processes, as well as their relevance for the understanding and treatment of common and rare human diseases associated with the dysfunction of organellar channels and transporters. The meeting will consist of platform sessions, short talks, poster sessions, round tables, communal dining, and plenty social times and conversations that will provide ample opportunity for sharing latest research results as well as technical and conceptual advances, for exploring collaborative possibilities, and for identifying new ways to treat human diseases. We request funds from NCATS (as Primary Institute) and NIAMS (Secondary Assignment) to support junior invited speakers (assistant and associate professors) who have achieved breakthrough discoveries at their early career stage; to facilitate attendance of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, including but not limited to women and/or other minorities at the GRS and GRC; and to foster productive scientific and career consulting discussions between senior and young scientists.
