DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a multi-year application for partial support of the biennial Gordon Research Conference on Glycobiology to be held in January 2009 and 2011 at the Ventura Beach Marriott in Ventura, CA. The previous conference was held March 2007 in Ventura, and was fully subscribed. The Glycobiology Gordon Conference is one of the most prestigious forums for the presentation of the latest and most significant research in the area of Glycobiology. The 2009 and 2011 conferences will continue a tradition of emphasis on the structure, function, and biology of macromolecular glycoconjugates of all types. Plans for the 2009 conference are described briefly below and serve as a template for the 2011 meeting. Eleven oral sessions are scheduled for mornings and evenings. The lecture sessions will cover the following topics: Structural Glycobiology (enzymes & Proteins), Mechanisms of Glycosylation, Nerve and Muscle Glycobiology, Structural Glycobiology (glycans & glycomics), Immune Cell Glycobiology, Vascular Glycobiology, Developmental Glycobiology, Cancer & Cell Regulation, Metabolic Regulation, Microbial Glycobiology. Poster sessions will be held each of the four full days in the late afternoon, and will continue informally after the evening sessions. Several factors contribute to the unique success of this conference in the Glycobiology community: a) a 5-minute window of discussion is enforced at the end of each oral presentation (including short talks), b) the conference is held in a cloistered setting where all participants dine and socialize together outside of the sessions, c) afternoon social activities are planned to promote networking, and d) the poster displays are accessible throughout the day and provide the backdrop for refreshments after the evening sessions, which ensures maximal exposure. Speakers and participants will be selected to reflect the international excellence in glycobiology with appropriate balance ensuring representation of young scientists, women, and minorities. In addition to the approximately 31 invited talks, 26 short oral presentations will be selected from outstanding poster abstracts to bring forth the latest developments in the field, and eight Conference Awards (conference fee deferrals) will be available for outstanding abstracts submitted by graduate students, post-docs, and very junior faculty. The breadth of topics and the diversity of techniques employed in this highly multidisciplinary field will attract a diverse group of scientists with a common interest in glycoconjugates and their functions. All applicants will be encouraged to present a poster. The size of the conference has been increased this year to 150 participants. Proper facilities are available to accommodate handicapped individuals who will also be considered equally in the selection of attendees and speakers. The meeting will bring together the leading and developing scientists in the field to present and evaluate the latest and hottest research in the area, and is designed to stimulate the widening application of emerging technologies and concepts in glycobiology to the frontiers of all areas of biomedical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Glycosylation of proteins and lipids contributes in many essential ways to the normal function and health of all the tissues and organs in both development and physiology. The field of `Glycobiology' has experienced a recent upsurge on account of new technologies and its success in contributing a mechanistic understanding to a wide range of inherited, acquired and infectious diseases in humans. Collectively, glycan-dependent diseases are united by a common logic of biosynthesis, analytical methodologies and interpretation of phenotypes and disease symptoms, and the Glycobiology Gordon Conference offers a unique forum to bring together investigators from diverse disciplines to intensively explore these issues.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项为期多年的申请，以在2009年1月和2011年在加利福尼亚州Ventura的Ventura Beach Marriott举行，对两年一的Gordon Gordon Gordon研究会议进行了部分支持。先前的会议于2007年3月在文图拉（Ventura）举行，并得到了充分订阅。戈登会议是糖生物学最负盛名的论坛之一。 2009年和2011年的会议将继续着重于所有类型的大分子糖缀合物的结构，功能和生物学。在下面简要介绍了2009年会议的计划，并用作2011年会议的模板。安排了11个口头会议，以举行早晨和晚上。讲座会议将涵盖以下主题：结构性糖生物学（酶和蛋白质），糖基化机制，神经和肌肉糖生物学，结构性糖生物学（Glycans＆Glycomics）（Glycans＆Glycomics），免疫细胞性细胞糖生物学，发育量，血管生物学，血管生物学和癌症癌症学和癌症癌，癌症癌，癌症，癌症，癌症，癌症，癌症，癌症，癌症，疾病综合症，疾病学，调节，微生物糖生物学。海报会议将在下午晚些时候举行整整四天，并在晚上会议后非正式地继续。在糖生物学社区中这次会议的独特成功造成了多种因素：a）在每个口头演讲结束时（包括简短的谈判），b）b）会议在一个神秘的环境中举行，在其中进行了5分钟的讨论窗口。所有参与者在会议之外进行用餐和社交活动，c）c）下午的社交活动旨在促进网络，d）海报显示器全天都可以访问，并在晚上会议后提供茶点的背景，以确保最大的暴露。演讲者和参与者将被选中以适当的平衡来反映糖生物学的国际卓越，以确保年轻科学家，妇女和少数民族的代表。除了大约31次受邀的会谈外，还将从杰出的海报摘要中选出26个简短的口头演示文稿，以提出该领域的最新发展，并将为研究生提交的杰出摘要，八项会议奖项（会议费延期）提供。毕业后，非常初级教师。这个高度多学科领域所采用的主题的广度和多样性将吸引一群对糖缀合物及其功能的普遍兴趣的科学家。将鼓励所有申请人出示海报。今年的会议规模已增加到150名参与者。适当的设施可容纳残障人士，他们在选择与会者和演讲者的选择中也同样被考虑。这次会议将汇集该领域的领先和发展的科学家，以介绍和评估该地区最新，最热门的研究，并旨在刺激糖生物学中新兴技术和概念在生物医学研究的前沿的扩大应用。 。 公共卫生相关性：蛋白质和脂质的糖基化为多种基本方法促进了发育和生理学中所有组织和器官的正常功能和健康。由于新技术及其在人类中广泛的遗传，获得和感染性疾病为机械理解方面的成功，“糖生物学”领域最近经历了最近的激增。总的来说，依赖聚糖的疾病是由生物合成，分析方法和对表型和疾病症状的解释的共同逻辑结合在一起的，而戈登戈登会议则提供了一个独特的论坛，可以将各种各样的研究人员聚集在一起，以深入探索这些问题。
