DESCRIPTION: Gordon Research Conference on 'Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions' Salve Regina University, Newport Rl, June 25th-30th 2006 The 2006 Host-parasite Interactions GRC conference will focus on the latest findings on molecular aspects of protozoan organisms and how these relate to human diseases such as (but not limited to) malaria, toxoplasmosis, African and American trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, trichomoniasis, giardiasis and entamoebiasis. The aim of the meeting is to define current state of this dynamic and exciting field and to discuss and set future research agendas. The focus on human diseases and the identification, validation and characterisation of new therapeutic targets clearly places the conference within the mission of the NIH and particulalry of the NIAID. Participation by graduate students and post-docs is particularly encouraged and a third of the talks will be selected from the abstracts. Some sholarships for graduate student/post-doc attendance will be made available and individuals from minority groups are encouraged to apply. This conference will take place in the 75th Anniversary year of the Gordon Research Conferences and promises to adhere to the spirit of the Gordon Research Conferences by promoting the free and friendly exchange of information and ideas. The key areas to be covered are: Parasite-Vector Biology (Discussion Leader: Anthony James, UC Irvine) Parasite Cell and Developmental Biology (Discussion Leader: Keith Gull, Oxford) Gene Expression and Epigenetic Regulation (Discussion Leader: Piet Borst, Amsterdam) Comparative Genomics (Discussion Leader; David Roos, U-Penn) Parasite Organelle Biogenesis (Discussion Leader: Steve Hajduk, MBL) Anti-Parasite Drug Discovery (Discussion Leader: Margaret Philips, UT-Southwestern) Host-Cell Invasion (Discussion Leader: Barbara Burleigh: Harvard) Trichomonads and Amoebae (Discussion Leader: Patricia Johnson, UCLA) Parasite Membrane Biology (Discussion Leader: Scott Landfear: University of Oregon)

描述：戈登“宿主-寄生虫相互作用生物学”研究会议 Salve Regina 大学，纽波特，2006 年 6 月 25 日至 30 日 2006 年宿主-寄生虫相互作用 GRC 会议将重点关注原生动物分子方面的最新发现，以及它们与人类疾病的关系，例如（但不限于）疟疾、弓形虫病、非洲和美洲锥虫病、利什曼病、滴虫病、贾第鞭毛虫病和内阿米巴病。会议的目的是确定这个充满活力和令人兴奋的领域的现状，并讨论和制定未来的研究议程。会议重点关注人类疾病以及新治疗靶点的识别、验证和表征，这明确地将会议置于 NIH 的使命范围内，特别是 NIAID 的使命范围内。 特别鼓励研究生和博士后的参与，三分之一的演讲将从摘要中选出。将向研究生/博士后提供一些奖学金，并鼓励少数群体的个人申请。本次会议将在戈登研究会议成立75周年之际举行，并承诺通过促进自由和友好的信息和思想交流来坚持戈登研究会议的精神。 涵盖的关键领域是： 寄生虫载体生物学（讨论负责人：安东尼·詹姆斯，加州大学欧文分校） 寄生虫细胞和发育生物学（讨论负责人：Keith Gull，牛津大学） 基因表达和表观遗传调控（讨论负责人：Piet Borst，阿姆斯特丹） 比较基因组学（讨论负责人；David Roos，宾夕法尼亚大学） 寄生虫细胞器生物发生（讨论负责人：Steve Hajduk，MBL） 抗寄生虫药物发现（讨论负责人：Margaret Philips，UT-Southwestern） 宿主细胞入侵（讨论负责人：Barbara Burleigh：哈佛大学） 毛滴虫和变形虫（讨论负责人：Patricia Johnson，加州大学洛杉矶分校） 寄生虫膜生物学（讨论负责人：Scott Landfear：俄勒冈大学）
