2023 Glycobiology GRC and GRS

这是一份申请部分支持GlycoBiology Gordon研究会议(GRC)和 联合戈登研究研讨会(GRS)将在加利福尼亚州文图拉的Four Points Sheraton共同举行 2023年3月11日至17日。糖生物学GRC是该领域最负盛名的论坛之一，具有悠久的 过去44年(2021年)定期举行的非常成功的两年一次会议的传统 由于大流行，糖生物学GRC被取消)。2023年会议，副标题为“从结构到 功能：多糖作为生命的主要组成部分的生物学作用“，将继续强调 大分子糖共轭化合物的结构、功能和生物学。话题的广度和多样性 在这个高度多学科的领域中采用的技术将吸引不同的科学家群体， 对多糖及其功能的共同兴趣。口头会议的重点是细胞群落的糖生物学， 细胞信号和分子识别，免疫和神经系统，胚胎发育，病毒， 病原体-宿主相互作用，糖蛋白生物合成和运输，人类疾病，同时还讨论了 生物信息学方法和该领域的新技术。招贴会将在四个完整的每一个环节举行 会议将在下午晚些时候举行，并将在晚间会议之后继续非正式进行。它的独特之处在于 会议包括：(I)每次口头陈述后5-10分钟的讨论；(Ii)闭门会议 所有与会者在会议之外一起用餐和社交的场所，(3)下午的社交活动 计划促进联网，以及(4)全天和随后的晚上均可张贴海报 课程以最大限度地增加曝光率。简短的口头报告将从优秀的海报摘要中挑选出来 带来这一领域的最新发展。顶尖研究生、博士后和非常初级的教师海报 演讲将在主要会议环节进行评审和奖励。糖生物学GRS预备会议将 专注于研究生和博士后演讲，以及指导会议，为年轻的研究人员提供 有机会进行培训和建立关系网。所有申请者将被鼓励提供一张海报和特别 将努力增加多样性，包括初级科学家、妇女和少数民族的参与。 增加多样性的特别努力将加强对指导和培训机会的影响。这个 后勤还注重加强宣传，满足带孩子和家庭的与会者的需求， 和残疾人，他们将在遴选过程中得到平等的考虑。会议在意料之中 汇聚了世界各地该领域领先和有前途的初级科学家，并显著 促进新思想和新技术的产生和传播，促进新的合作， 并在生物医学研究的前沿培养来自不同背景的新一代研究人员。

This is an application for partial support of the Glycobiology Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) to be held together at the Four Points Sheraton in Ventura, CA, on March 11-17, 2023. The Glycobiology GRC is one of the most prestigious forums in the field with a long-standing tradition of very successful biennial meetings that have been regularly hold for past 44 years (the 2021 Glycobiology GRC was cancelled because of the pandemic). The 2023 conference, subtitled “From structure to function: Biological roles of glycans as major building blocks of life”, will continue the tradition of emphasis on the structure, function, and biology of macromolecular glycoconjugates. The breadth of topics and the diversity of techniques employed in this highly multidisciplinary field will attract a diverse group of scientists with a common interest in glycans and their functions. Oral sessions will focus on the glycobiology of cell communities, cell signaling and molecular recognition, the immune and the nervous system, embryonic development, viruses, pathogen-host interactions, glycoprotein biosynthesis and trafficking, human diseases, while also discussing bioinformatic approaches and novel technologies in the field. Poster sessions will be held each of the four full days in the late afternoon, and will continue informally after the evening sessions. Unique features of this conference include: (i) a 5-10-minute discussion following each oral presentation, (ii) the secluded meeting venue where all participants dine and socialize together outside of the sessions, (iii) afternoon social activities planned to promote networking, and (iv) poster displays accessible throughout the day and following evening sessions to maximize exposure. Short oral presentations will be selected from outstanding poster abstracts to bring forth the latest developments in the field. Top graduate student, postdoc, and very junior faculty poster presentations will be judged and awarded in the main meeting session. The Glycobiology GRS pre-meeting will focus on graduate student and postdoc presentations, and a mentoring session, to provide young investigators with opportunities for training and networking. All applicants will be encouraged to present a poster and special efforts will be made to increase diversity, including participation of junior scientists, women, and minorities. Special efforts to increase diversity will be enhance the impact on mentoring and training opportunities. The logistics also focuses on enhancing publicity, accommodating the needs of attendees with children and families, and handicapped individuals, who will be considered equally in the selection process. The meeting is expected to bring together the leading and promising junior scientists in the field from all over the world and significantly contribute to the generation and dissemination of novel ideas and technologies, promoting new collaborations, and nurturing new generation of researchers from diverse backgrounds at the frontiers of biomedical research.
