2009 Phagocyte Gordon Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

描述（由申请人提供）：第15届半年度戈登研究会议（GRC）吞噬细胞将于2009年6月7日至12日在沃特维尔山谷度假村，沃特维尔山谷，NH。本次会议将是一个高质量的演讲论坛，并深入讨论吞噬细胞生物学的最新发现以及与炎症和宿主防御相关的临床扩展。该会议自1981年以来一直存在，并从具有不同背景的世界范围内的科学家群体中汲取，包括细胞生物学，生物化学，分子遗传学和临床医学。该会议一直是传播信息和促进研究白细胞生物学不同方面的研究人员之间交流的重要场所，并为该领域的受训人员和年轻研究人员提供了一个一般教育论坛。参加吞噬细胞戈登研究会议的与会者（会议主席，演讲者和与会者）通常为130-140人。在2007年的会议上，大约三分之二的与会者是学院级的研究科学家，三分之一是研究生和博士后研究员。 计划举行9次会议，共举行30次全体会议。每届会议将由一名该领域的知名专家主持。我们还计划包括从与会者提交的摘要中选择的大约6-8个简短的演讲。此外，我们预计将展示至少70张海报。该计划将为各级科学家提供参与的机会，我们将特别促进初级研究人员、博士后学员和“该领域的新研究人员”的参与。 对于第一次，2009年会议将纳入研究生研究研讨会（GRS）在2009年6月6日至7日之前，刚刚开始的GRC。GRS将为研究生和博士后研究员提供一个非正式的场所，以在同行环境中展示他们的研究。两个科学会议的发言人（约12人）将从提交的摘要中选出，我们预计将有35-40名与会者。所有与会者将提交海报，并预计将出席随后的GRC。我们认为，非正式的互动和展示数据的机会将是年轻研究人员的宝贵经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 15th bi-annual Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Phagocytes will be held June 7-12, 2009 at Waterville Valley Resort, Waterville Valley, NH. This Conference will be a forum for high-quality presentations and in depth discussions of the most recent discoveries in phagocyte biology and clinical extensions relevant to inflammation and host defense. The Conference has been in existence since 1981, and draws from a world-wide group of scientists with diverse backgrounds, including cell biology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, and clinical medicine. This meeting has consistently been an important venue for disseminating information and facilitating communication between investigators studying different facets of leukocyte biology as well as providing a general educational forum for trainees and young investigators in the field. Conferees attending the Gordon Research Conference on Phagocytes (session chairs, speakers, and participants) typically number 130-140. At the 2007 meeting, approximately 2/3 of conferees were faculty-level research scientists and 1/3 were graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. There are nine planned sessions with a total of 30 plenary talks. A known expert in the field will chair each session. We also plan to include approximately 6-8 short talk presentations selected from abstracts submitted by meeting attendees. In addition, we anticipate that at least 70 posters will be displayed. The program will provide opportunities for participation of scientists at all levels and we will particularly promote the participation of junior investigators, postdoctoral trainees and "new investigators to the field". For the first time, the 2009 Conference will incorporate a Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) on June 6-7, 2009 just prior to the start of the GRC. The GRS will provide an informal venue for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to present their research in a peer environment. Speakers (approximately 12) for two science sessions will be chosen from submitted abstracts and we anticipate 35-40 attendees. All conferees will present posters and are expected to attend the subsequent GRC. We believe that the informal interaction and opportunity to present their data will be invaluable experiences for young researchers.
