DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application for partial support of the FASEB Summer Research Conference on Ion Channel Regulation (June 4-9, 2005, Snowmass Village, Colorado). Major focus of this Meeting will be on regulation of channel expression, posttranslational modification, trafficking, activity and biological function by a variety of signaling mechanisms, involving G proteins, second messengers, protein phosphorylation, cytoskeleton, membrane lipids and other. Novel signaling pathways and chanellopathies will be discussed. All the invited speakers are confirmed: they represent prominent scientists, including 6 female and 8 junior investigators, who have made important discoveries in the field of ion channel regulation. Many recent advances have occurred in ion channel regulation research, making this an important conference topic in its own right. The FASEB Conference on Ion Channel Regulation is a biennial meeting that alternates with a Gordon Conference on Ion Channels, and is designed to satisfy the growing need in significant expansion of the field and filling the gaps between channel structure and complex biological regulation, with the emphasis on signaling cascades and physiological functions. It is designed to be integrative and interdisciplinary in nature, bringing together investigators from biophysics, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, physiology, neuroscience and medicine. This conference will highlight exciting discoveries of new families of ion channels that are regulated by novel mechanisms and serve novel biological and pathophysiological functions. More than 120 participants are expected, including pre-and postdoctoral trainees, young faculty, female and minority investigators. To promote participation of women, young investigators, and other underrepresented groups, Conference Fellowships will be offered, and they will be encouraged to present short talks that will complement each session. Requested funds will be used to provide Conference Fellowships for under-represented groups, and to partially cover travel expenses for the speakers from the U.S.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是对 FASEB 离子通道调节夏季研究会议（2005 年 6 月 4-9 日，科罗拉多州斯诺马斯村）部分支持的修订申请。本次会议的主要焦点将是多种信号机制对通道表达、翻译后修饰、运输、活性和生物功能的调控，涉及G蛋白、第二信使、蛋白磷酸化、细胞骨架、膜脂等。将讨论新的信号传导途径和通道病。所有受邀演讲嘉宾均已确认：他们代表了在离子通道调控领域取得重要发现的杰出科学家，其中包括 6 名女性和 8 名初级研究员。离子通道调节研究最近取得了许多进展，这使其本身成为一个重要的会议主题。 FASEB 离子通道调控会议是每两年一次的会议，与戈登离子通道会议交替举行，旨在满足显着扩展该领域的日益增长的需求，并填补通道结构和复杂生物调控之间的空白，重点是信号级联和生理功能。它本质上是综合性和跨学科的，汇集了来自生物物理学、生物化学、细胞和分子生物学、生理学、神经科学和医学的研究人员。本次会议将重点介绍离子通道新家族的令人兴奋的发现，这些离子通道家族受新机制调节并具有新的生物学和病理生理学功能。预计将有超过 120 名参与者，包括博士前和博士后学员、年轻教师、女性和少数族裔研究人员。为了促进妇女、年轻研究者和其他代表性不足群体的参与，将提供会议奖学金，并鼓励他们进行简短的演讲，以补充每场会议。请求的资金将用于为代表性不足的群体提供会议奖学金，并部分支付来自美国的演讲者的旅费。
