DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The assembly of an infectious virus within the cell is a complex process that requires the temporal and coordinated activities of numerous macromolecules of both viral and host origin. Understanding these interactions at the molecular level is essential to the development of effective anti-viral therapeutics and to harnessing these relatively simple systems for use as corrective gene delivery vectors and as nanomaterials. A comprehensive examination of these important processes is best accomplished by a multi-disciplinary approach that includes genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and structural, biochemical and biophysical approaches. The FASEB Summer Research Conference on Virus Structure and Assembly has served as a key meeting for researchers in these diverse disciplines to gather and discuss cutting edge results and major breakthroughs in the field. Indeed, many new anti-viral therapies are the direct result of basic scientific investigations, which has been the emphasis of past FASEB conferences. This application requests funds to support this prestigious and important meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Understanding how an infectious virus enters into and subsequently assembles in the host cell is essential to developing new anti-viral therapeutics and to developing viral systems for biotechnology applications. This application seeks support for the FASEB Summer Research Conference on Virus Structure and Assembly, a key scientific meeting that addresses diverse issues in virus entry and assembly.

描述（由申请人提供）：细胞中传染病的组装是一个复杂的过程，需要病毒和宿主起源的大量大分子的时间和协调活动。在分子水平上了解这些相互作用对于有效的抗病毒疗法的发展至关重要，并利用这些相对简单的系统作为纠正基因递送向量和纳米材料。通过包括遗传学，分子生物学，细胞生物学以及结构，生化和生物物理学方法在内的多学科方法，最好对这些重要过程进行全面的研究。 FASEB夏季研究会议关于病毒结构和集会的研究会议是这些不同学科的研究人员的关键会议，以收集和讨论该领域的尖端结果和重大突破。实际上，许多新的抗病毒疗法是基本科学研究的直接结果，这是过去FaseB会议的重点。该申请要求资金支持这次享有声望和重要的会议。 公共卫生相关性：了解传染性病毒如何进入宿主细胞中并在宿主细胞中组装是至关重要的，对于开发新的抗病毒疗法和开发用于生物技术应用的病毒系统。该申请寻求支持FaseB夏季病毒结构和集会研究会议，这是一个关键的科学会议，旨在解决病毒进入和组装的各种问题。
