DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant seeks funds to hold the "Third International Symposium on Computational Cell Biology" to be held March 19-23, 2005 at the Cranwell Resort and Golf Club in Lenox, MA. Computational Cell Biology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that responds to the need for computational methods to analyze and organize the massive amount of complex experimental data on the structure and function of the cell. Whereas other meetings in computational biology focus on bioinformatics and structural biology, this is the only meeting geared specifically to the use of computational modeling applications in cell biology and primarily targeted to cell biologists. The symposium is being organized by The National Resource for Cell Analysis and Modeling (NRCAM), located in the Center for Biomedical Imaging Technology (CBIT) at the University of Connecticut Health Center. The organizing committee consists of Drs. Leslie M. Loew, Director of NRCAM and CBIT, John Carson, co-Director of NRCAM, and Ann Cowan, Deputy Director of CBIT and head of dissemination and training for NRCAM, who chairs the committee. 2 previous symposia, held in 2001 and 2003, provided a venue for cell biologists to interact with theoreticians and computer scientists, and were highly successful in their scientific content, in initiating a new level of communication among different groups of scientists, and in defining the emerging field of computational cell biology. The continuation of this symposium will help to solidify and extend the community of computational cell biologists and continue to bridge the disciplinary gap in cultures among theoretical and experimental cell biologists. The scientific focus of the meeting is on areas of cell biology for which modeling approaches are currently being developed, or that are ripe for computational modeling approaches. Topic at the meetings will encompass a range of cellular mechanisms including regulation of the cytoskeleton and molecular motors, membrane and protein trafficking, regulation of calcium dynamics, signal transduction pathways, and cell cycle control. In each of these areas researchers using highly quantitative experimental approaches and/or applying mathematical modeling approaches will be invited to speak. The meeting format is an intensive mix of platform sessions, poster sessions and small workshops and tutorials. The venue for the meeting is a small resort in the Berkshire Mountains that is limited to a maximum of 125 on-site participants. This setting and meeting size is ideal for facilitating individual interactions and encouraging active participation by graduate and postdoctoral students.

说明（由申请人提供）：此项赠款旨在为举办“第三届计算细胞生物学国际研讨会”提供资金，该研讨会将于 2005 年 3 月 19 日至 23 日在马萨诸塞州莱诺克斯的克兰威尔度假村和高尔夫俱乐部举行。计算细胞生物学是一个新兴的跨学科领域，它满足了对计算方法来分析和组织有关细胞结构和功能的大量复杂实验数据的需求。尽管计算生物学的其他会议重点关注生物信息学和结构生物学，但这是唯一专门针对细胞生物学中计算建模应用的使用且主要针对细胞生物学家的会议。该研讨会由位于康涅狄格大学健康中心生物医学成像技术中心 (CBIT) 的国家细胞分析和建模资源中心 (NRCAM) 主办。组委会由博士组成。 NRCAM 和 CBIT 主任 Leslie M. Loew、NRCAM 联席主任 John Carson 以及 CBIT 副主任兼 NRCAM 传播和培训主管 Ann Cowan 担任委员会主席。前两次研讨会分别于 2001 年和 2003 年举行，为细胞生物学家与理论家和计算机科学家互动提供了场所，并且在其科学内容、在不同科学家群体之间启动新水平的交流以及定义计算细胞生物学的新兴领域。本次研讨会的继续举办将有助于巩固和扩展计算细胞生物学家社区，并继续弥合理论和实验细胞生物学家之间的文化学科差距。会议的科学重点是目前正在开发建模方法或计算建模方法已经成熟的细胞生物学领域。会议主题将涵盖一系列细胞机制，包括细胞骨架和分子马达的调节、膜和蛋白质运输、钙动力学调节、信号转导途径和细胞周期控制。在每个领域，使用高度定量实验方法和/或应用数学建模方法的研究人员将被邀请发言。会议形式是平台会议、海报会议以及小型研讨会和教程的密集组合。会议地点是伯克希尔山脉的一个小型度假村，现场参加人数最多为 125 人。这种设置和会议规模非常适合促进个人互动并鼓励研究生和博士后积极参与。
