DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The next FASEB Summer Conference on "Trace Element Metabolism: Integrating Applied and Basic Research" (formerly "Micronutrient: Trace Elements") will be held June 26-July 1, 2004. The site of the conference will be Snowmass Village in Snowmass, Colorado. This venue provides an excellent environment to promote scientific interaction in stimulating surroundings. The goals of the conference are to promote exchange of scientific ideas and to encourage the development of collaborations by bringing together scientists with different perspectives and experimental approaches. Another goal is to involve young investigators in the conference with the aim of allowing them to interact with the more established investigators in this rapidly developing field. In the two years since the previous conference, there have been significant advances in trace element research. The 2004 conference will focus primarily on recent developments in our understanding of iron, copper, selenium, and zinc metabolism. Eleven sessions are planned that consider various aspects of trace element metabolism including transport and acquisition, intracellular trafficking, metalloprotein biogenesis, new aspects of trace element function, and the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that regulate these processes. These sessions will be integrated with presentations on trace elements in human disease, assessment of nutritional status, and new model systems for the study of trace element metabolism. As the name of the conference suggests, the emphasis will be on integrating basic and applied trace element research. The current program includes 46 invited speakers and more than 25% of these are young investigators (i.e., pre-tenure). All were chosen based on the excellence of their research and meritorious contributions to the field. Approximately 100 additional attendees will be accepted upon application. These individuals will be encouraged to present posters to be displayed in two poster sessions. We also will obtain funds to provide travel awards for up to 10 postdocs or senior graduate students.

描述（由申请人提供）： 下一次FASEB夏季会议将在2004年6月26日至7月1日举行，上面关于“痕量元素代谢：整合应用和基础研究”（以前是“微量营养素：微量元素”）。会议的地点将是科罗拉多州雪摩斯的雪人村。该场所为促进刺激环境的科学互动提供了一个绝佳的环境。会议的目标是促进科学思想的交流，并通过通过不同的观点和实验方法将科学家聚集在一起来鼓励合作的发展。另一个目标是让年轻的调查人员参加会议，以允许他们与这个迅速发展的领域中更具成熟的调查人员进行互动。 自上次会议以来的两年中，痕量元素研究取得了重大进展。 2004年会议将主要关注我们对铁，铜，硒和锌代谢的最新发展。计划了11次会议，该课程考虑了痕量元素代谢的各个方面，包括运输和采集，细胞内贩运，金属蛋白生物发生，痕量元素功能的新方面以及调节这些过程的转录和转录后调节机制。这些课程将与有关人类疾病的微量元素，营养状况评估以及研究痕量元素代谢的新模型系统的演示。正如会议的名称所暗示的那样，重点将是整合基本和应用的痕量元素研究。当前的计划包括46位受邀演讲者，其中超过25％是年轻的调查员（即预期）。所有这些都是根据他们的研究和对该领域的卓越贡献而选择的。申请后将接受大约100名其他参与者。这些人将被鼓励介绍两个海报会议。我们还将获得资金，为多达10个博士后或高级研究生提供旅行奖。
