2009 Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供） 戈登真菌毒素和藻毒素研究会议提供了一个国际论坛，介绍关于真菌，藻类和蓝藻毒素以及产生它们的生物体的前沿研究。这次多学科会议将包括生物学、生态学、遗传学、化学以及这些自然灾害对公共卫生和经济的影响。2009年，会议将于6月21日至26日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比索耶学院召开。会议的目标是聚集一批前沿科学家和学生，并创造一种创造性思维的氛围，以促进对这些自然发生的生物体和毒素所带来的复杂问题的认识。 我们做出了相当大的努力，为参与者、杰出的科学家和有抱负的学生提供机会，在轻松的环境中互动，促进就对真菌毒素和藻毒素的社会和环境影响的未来研究至关重要的主题自由交流想法。2009年会议将特别强调气候变化对有毒藻类、蓝细菌和真菌的生态学的影响;毒素产生的基因组学和蛋白质组学;危险事件的预测和检测;以及这些自然灾害对公共卫生和经济的影响。该会议的独特之处在于它汇集了一个由研究科学家和学生组成的多元化多学科小组，他们最终都专注于解决类似的问题，确保环境的健康和食品供应的安全。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Gordon Research Conference on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins offers an international forum for the presentation of leading-edge research on fungal, algal, and cyanobacterial toxins and the organisms that produce them. This multidisciplinary gathering will encompass the biology, ecology, genetics, chemistry and the public health and economic impacts of these natural hazards. In 2009, the conference will convene at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire, June 21- 26. The goals of the conference are to assemble a critical mass of leading edge scientists and students, and to create an atmosphere for creative thinking to advance knowledge of the complex problems presented by these naturally occurring organisms and toxins. Considerable effort is made to provide opportunities for participants, outstanding scientists and aspiring students alike, to interact in relaxed surroundings that promote the free exchange of ideas on topics vital to the future of research on the societal and environmental impacts of mycotoxins and phycotoxins. The 2009 conference will have a particular emphasis on the influence of climate change on the biogeography of toxic algae, cyanobacteria and fungi; the genomics and proteomics of toxin production; the prediction and detection of hazardous events; and the public health and economic impacts of these natural hazards. The conference is unique in that it brings together a diverse multidisciplinary group of research scientists and students who are all ultimately focused on solving similar problems ensuring the health of the environment and the safety and security of the food supply.
