Cell Growth & Proliferation Gordon Research Conference

简介（由申请人提供）：2007年戈登细胞生长与增殖研究会议将于2007年6月24-29日在缅因州比德福德的新英格兰大学举行。会议将汇集约130名研究人员、博士后研究员和学生，讨论细胞周期控制、生长和G1进程、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。本提案要求资金为北美和海外与会者的旅费和/或会议费用提供部分支助。在这个迅速发展的领域，这次会议将是一次及时而重要的会议。这次会议是相当独特的，因为它提供了一个格式，汇集了非同寻常的研究人员，他们的集体方法包括细胞生物学，生化，分子和遗传方法，解决细胞增殖调节的核心问题。戈登会议的形式提供了一个独特的环境，鼓励参与者之间进行非正式和公开的讨论，这反过来又促进了合作努力的发起，并激发了未来的研究方向。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2007 Gordon Research Conference on Cell Growth and Proliferation will be held at the University of New England in Biddeford Maine from June 24-29, 2007. The conference will bring together approximately 130 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/or conference fee expenses for participants from North America and overseas. This conference will be a timely and important meeting in 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.
