DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks partial support for a 2008 international meeting on marine bioorganic chemistry as part of the Gordon Research Conference series. The broad and long term goal of the conference is to increase our understanding in the fundamentals on the chemistry of marine-derived organisms and apply these discoveries to problems of human health. The format of the conference is to highlight breaking developments in the field of marine natural products through discussion of exciting new compounds and the exploration of hitherto untapped resources. The specific aims of the meeting are as follows. 1. To conduct a Gordon Conference on Marine Natural Products that emphasizes new developments in this multidisciplinary field with an emphasis on marine bioorganic chemistry and biotechnology. 2 To have the meeting at Ventura California, California, during February 24 - 28, 2008 organized by an academic chair, Professor Phillip Crews, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California at Santa Cruz; and a pharmaceutical industry vice chair - Dr. Guy Carter, Assistant Vice President Chemical Technologies & Screening Sciences, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. 3. To bring approximately 150 participants together in a stimulating forum that involves 35 invited speakers. 4. To pursue a program that will facilitate participation by all attendees in both formal and informal discussions on frontier issues in the field. The significance of this application is that the Gordon Research Conference on Marine Natural Products is regarded as one of the highest profile meetings on this subject. The current trend in marine bioorganic chemistry research is to establish collaborations so that difficult problems can be addressed. The organizational structure of the meeting will provide opportunities for the conferees to forge new collaborative ventures. Another goal for the 2008 conference is to make additional adjustments to further increase diversity among the attendees. We will continue to improve participation by women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. The health relatedness of this application is that many discussions will outline the pathway from basic discoveries of important biomolecules to their future potential as leads for further experimental therapeutics development.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案寻求对 2008 年海洋生物有机化学国际会议的部分支持，该会议是戈登研究会议系列的一部分。 会议的广泛和长期目标是增进我们对海洋生物化学基础知识的理解，并将这些发现应用于人类健康问题。 会议的形式是通过讨论令人兴奋的新化合物和探索迄今未开发的资源来突出海洋天然产品领域的突破性发展。 会议具体目标如下。 1. 举办戈登海洋天然产品会议，强调这一多学科领域的新发展，重点是海洋生物有机化学和生物技术。 2 会议于 2008 年 2 月 24 日至 28 日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行，会议由学术主席、加州大学圣克鲁斯分校化学与生物化学系 Phillip Crews 教授组织；以及制药行业副主席 - Guy Carter 博士，惠氏制药化学技术与筛选科学助理副总裁。 3. 将大约 150 名参与者聚集在一起，参加一个由 35 名受邀演讲者参与的激动人心的论坛。 4. 推行一项计划，促进所有与会者参与有关该领域前沿问题的正式和非正式讨论。 该应用的意义在于，戈登海洋天然产品研究会议被认为是该主题最引人注目的会议之一。 目前海洋生物有机化学研究的趋势是建立合作，以解决难题。 会议的组织结构将为与会者提供建立新的合作企业的机会。 2008 年会议的另一个目标是进行额外的调整，以进一步增加与会者的多样性。 我们将继续提高妇女、少数民族和残疾人的参与度。 该应用与健康的相关性在于，许多讨论将概述从重要生物分子的基本发现到其未来潜力作为进一步实验疗法开发的途径。
