DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The second Gordon Conference on Gradient Sensing and Directed Cell Migration will be held January 28 - February 2, 2007 at the Crowne Plaza, Ventura, California. This meeting will focus directly on mechanisms of eukaryotic chemotaxis. Because chemotaxis is critical for allergies and infectious disease, neurological diseases, development, immunology, wound healing, and tumor cell metastasis, the meeting is designed to bring together the leading chemotaxis researchers in these fields for cross-fertilization of concepts and approaches. This strategy is manifested by organizing each topic according to stage in the process; for example, researchers in different fields who are focused on chemotaxis signaling networks are grouped together in a single session. The session topics are chosen to focus attention on the critical steps in chemotactic signaling, providing attendees with an integrated overview of the entire chemotaxis process over the course of the entire meeting. The goal of the meeting is to advance our understanding of these mechanisms by bringing together modelers with the leading experts in the study of cell polarization in chemotaxis in systems including leukocytes, neurons, fibroblasts, tumor cells, yeast, Dictyostelium, and Drosophila. We have planned nine sessions with roughly 34 plenary talks, and each session will be chaired by an expert in the topic who will lead the discussion. Considerable time is planned to encourage extensive discussion. The program will provide opportunities for investigators at all levels to participate, including those currently funded through the NIH, including NIGMS, NINDS, NHLBI, NICHD, NCI, and NIAID. The program will also provide opportunity for 10 "short talk" presentations, which will be selected by the session chairs from submitted abstracts and posters. The final list of conferees (including session chairs, speakers and participants) will be chosen so as to represent researchers from all sectors. We will encourage the participation of junior investigators, post-doctoral trainees and new investigators to the field in all aspects of the meeting. In addition, we will foster the involvement of women, diverse groups of minorities and handicapped individuals who are interested in studying chemotaxis.

描述（由申请人提供）：第二届戈登梯度传感和定向细胞迁移会议将于2007年1月28日至2月2日在加利福尼亚州文图拉皇冠假日酒店举行。本次会议将直接关注真核趋化机制。由于趋化性对于过敏和传染病、神经系统疾病、发育、免疫学、伤口愈合和肿瘤细胞转移至关重要，因此本次会议旨在汇集这些领域领先的趋化性研究人员，以相互交流概念和方法。这一策略的体现是根据过程中的阶段来组织每个主题；例如，专注于趋化信号网络的不同领域的研究人员被聚集在一个会议中。选择会议主题是为了将注意力集中在趋化信号传导的关键步骤上，为与会者提供整个会议过程中整个趋化过程的综合概述。会议的目的是通过将建模者与研究白细胞、神经元、成纤维细胞、肿瘤细胞、酵母、盘基网柄菌和果蝇等系统趋化细胞极化研究的领先专家聚集在一起，增进我们对这些机制的理解。我们计划了九场会议，大约有34场全体会议，每场会议将由该主题的专家主持并主持讨论。计划花费相当多的时间来鼓励广泛的讨论。该计划将为各级研究人员提供参与机会，包括目前由 NIH 资助的研究人员，包括 NIGMS、NINDS、NHLBI、NICHD、NCI 和 NIAID。该计划还将提供 10 场“简短演讲”演讲的机会，这些演讲将由会议主席从提交的摘要和海报中选出。最终的与会者名单（包括会议主席、演讲者和参与者）将被选出，以代表来自各个领域的研究人员。我们将鼓励初级研究者、博士后学员和新研究者参与会议的各个方面。此外，我们将促进对研究趋化性感兴趣的妇女、不同少数民族群体和残疾人的参与。
