2009 Lipids, Molecular & Cellular Biology of Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是对2009年戈登研究会议的部分支持，该会议将汇集该领域的领先科学家，介绍和讨论他们的研究，并促进脂质研究的进展。该会议每隔一年举行一次，已有47年的历史，是世界公认的介绍脂质生物化学和分子生物学突破性研究的著名论坛。2009年会议将于7月19日至24日在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔谷的沃特维尔谷度假村举行，会议将延续这一传统，并将强调脂质在健康和疾病中的作用。会议将包括九个讲座和四个下午的海报会议。讲座将涵盖广泛的主题，包括核受体调节脂质代谢，细菌脂质合成和catalysts，脂质代谢的遗传学，脂质代谢的酶，蛋白质和脂质的运输，脂质双层中的蛋白质结构，哺乳动物脂质代谢，脂质定位和膜结构。这些会议的37位发言者将描述在体内和体外生物系统阵列中使用多种实验方法进行的研究。在戈登研究会议的讲座是众所周知的，以刺激与会者之间的热烈讨论，在这种情况下，将包括生物化学家，结构生物学家，细胞生物学家和遗传学家。参加这次会议的科学家从高质量的演讲者，参与者的不同实验背景以及会议的亲密气氛中获得协同效益。这些益处反过来又推动了脂质代谢的未来发展。参与者和演讲者已经并将被选择，以反映这一医学相关科学领域的国际卓越，在青年和智慧，男性和女性以及不同种族之间实现理想的平衡。杰出的设施可容纳残疾人谁将被平等地考虑在选择与会者和发言者。 公共卫生相关性：脂肪和胆固醇等脂质是生命所必需的，但过量存在时会导致心脏病发作和中风。2009年戈登研究会议上的分子和细胞生物学的脂质将解决目前的问题，在脂质合成和分解，以及如何这些基本过程在心血管疾病出错。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for partial support of the 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids, a meeting that will bring together leading scientists in the field to present and discuss their research and to facilitate advances in lipid research. This conference has been held every other year for over 47 years and is recognized world-wide as a prestigious forum for the presentation of ground breaking research in lipid biochemistry and molecular biology. The 2009 meeting, which will be held July 19-24 at the Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire will continue this tradition and will emphasize the role of lipids in health and disease. The meeting will include nine lecture sessions and four afternoon poster sessions. Lecture sessions will cover a broad range of topics, including regulation of lipid metabolism by nuclear receptors, bacterial lipid synthesis and catabolism, genetics of lipid metabolism, enzymes of lipid metabolism, trafficking of proteins and lipids, protein structure in the lipid bilayer, mammalian lipid metabolism, and lipid localization and membrane structure. The 37 speakers in these sessions will describe research done in an array of in vivo and in vitro biological systems and using multiple experimental approaches. Lectures at Gordon Research Conferences are well known to stimulate lively discussions among attendees who in this case will include biochemists, structural biologists, cell biologists, and geneticists. Scientists who attend this conference derive synergistic benefit from the high quality of the speakers, the diverse experimental backgrounds of participants, and the intimate atmosphere of the meeting. These benefits in turn drive future advances in lipid metabolism. Participants and speakers have been and will be chosen to reflect international excellence in this medically-relevant area of science with an ideal balance between youth and wisdom, men and women, and the different ethnicities. Outstanding facilities are available to accommodate handicapped individuals who will be considered equally in the selection of attendees and speakers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Lipids such as fats and cholesterol are required for life, but cause heart attacks and strokes when present in excess. The 2009 Gordon Research Conference on the Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids will address current issues in lipid synthesis and breakdown and how these fundamental processes go awry in cardiovascular disease.
