DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for partial support for the FASEB Summer Conference on "Nutrient Control of Gene Expression & Cell Signaling." This conference is held biennially and support is requested for meetings in 2005, 2007 and 2009. The 2005 conference will be held in Tucson, Arizona, from July 30 - August 4. The goal of this conference is to bring together scientists from many different disciplines interested in the regulation of gene expression and cell signaling by nutrient and non-nutrient dietary factors. Diet plays a critical role in human health and disease and understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms by which dietary components influence cell biology and physiology is essential. The conference will have eight oral sessions, two poster sessions and opening and keynote lectures. The initial sessions of the meeting are organized around the central themes of molecular regulation of gene expression by nutrients, such as glucose and fatty acids, by vitamins and minerals, and by phytochemicals and xenobiotics. Later sessions will focus on 'hot topics' such as metabolic flux control, the role of mTOR in nutrient sensing, energy balance and obesity, and caloric restriction and aging. In addition, a session dedicated to emerging technologies will introduce attendees to recent technological advances that can be applied to studying nutritional problems. Each session will feature four invited speakers and one or two additional speakers selected from invited abstracts. Efforts have been made to include younger scientists, women and minorities throughout the meeting. Awards will be given to the top poster presentations by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to encourage their participation. The interdisciplinary nature of this topic means that interactions between nutritionists, molecular and cell biologist, biochemists and physiologists are critical to progress in this important area. Through this conference, we hope to provide the environment for fruitful exchange of information between scientists with common conceptual problems related to nutrition and health.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该应用是为FASEB夏季会议的部分支持“基因表达和细胞信号的营养控制”。这次会议将每两年举行，并要求在2005年，2007年和2009年进行会议。2005年会议将于7月30日至8月4日在亚利桑那州图森举行。该会议的目的是将来自营养和非营养和非饮食饮食因素对基因表达和细胞信号调节的许多不同学科感兴趣的科学家汇集在一起​​。饮食在人类健康和疾病中起着至关重要的作用，并了解饮食成分影响细胞生物学和生理的潜在分子机制至关重要。会议将举行八次口头会议，两次海报会议以及开幕式和主题演讲。会议的最初会议是在养分，例如葡萄糖和脂肪酸，维生素和矿物质以及植物化学物质和异种生物学的养分中的分子调节中心主题中组织的。后来的会议将集中于“热主题”，例如代谢通量控制，MTOR在营养感应，能量平衡和肥胖以及热量限制和衰老中的作用。此外，专门针对新兴技术的会议将向与会者介绍最近的技术进步，可以应用于研究营养问题。每个会话将包括四个受邀演讲者和一两个从受邀摘要中选择的扬声器。在整个会议期间，已经努力包括年轻的科学家，妇女和少数民族。研究生和博士后研究员将颁发奖项，以鼓励他们的参与。该主题的跨学科性质意味着营养学家，分子和细胞生物学家，生物化学家和生理学家之间的相互作用对于在这一重要领域的进展至关重要。在这次会议上，我们希望为与营养和健康有关的常见概念问题之间的科学家之间提供富有成果的信息的环境。
