DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The simple monosaccharide glucose is the primary source of energy and carbon throughout the biological world. In mammals, the circulating concentration of glucose is maintained within a very narrow critical range, and disruption of glucose levels is the central pathophysiological manifestation of Type-2 diabetes. Moreover, glucose-derived energy is parsed into specific cellular functions such as growth, proliferation and maintenance, and cancer cell growth is critically dependent on glucose-dependent pathways. There has been major progress in the field of glucose transport, exemplified by the elucidation of the atomic structure of glucose transporters, and the generation and use of selective inhibitors of glucose reuptake in clinical settings. However, many questions remain, and further impact on disease mechanisms is contingent upon understanding glucose transport within the wider context of energy metabolism and its regulation. This application seeks support for housing and travel for young investigators to attend the 2013 FASEB Science Research Conference "Glucose transport: Gateway for Metabolic Systems Biology" July 14-19, 2013, Snowmass Village, Colorado, USA. For 20 years this conference has been the single most important opportunity for scientists involved in the study of glucose transport to meet face to face to discuss new findings, arising questions, and emerging experimental approaches to the complex problem of glucose transport and its vast physiological repercussion. The specific aims of this conference are 1) To integrate diverse approaches to understanding glucose transport and metabolism within the context of whole-body metabolic complexity and disease, and 2) To attract new investigators into the complex and important field of glucose and energy metabolism. Modern approaches include hypothesis-driven and screen-driven discovery, the later involving the generation of sophisticated databases and tools to enable hypothesis testing. In addition, current concepts of energy metabolism must account for the effects of multiple genomes of the microbiome, interacting at different niches within the human body. Eight sessions spanning from atomic mechanisms to systems biology of glucose transport and energy metabolism are proposed, chaired by experienced, leading investigators in each field. To insure timely discussion of emerging information, approximately 30 percent of the program will be chosen from abstracts, and participation by young investigators and scientists from groups underrepresented in the field will be favored.

描述（由申请人提供）：简单的单糖葡萄糖是整个生物学世界中能量和碳的主要来源。在哺乳动物中，葡萄糖的循环浓度保持在非常狭窄的临界范围内，而葡萄糖水平的破坏是2型糖尿病的中央病理生理表现。此外，葡萄糖衍生的能量被解析为特定的细胞功能，例如生长，增殖和维持，并且癌细胞的生长严重取决于葡萄糖依赖性途径。葡萄糖转运领域取得了重大进展，以阐明葡萄糖转运蛋白的原子结构以及在临床环境中葡萄糖再摄取的选择性抑制剂的产生和使用。但是，仍然存在许多问题，对疾病机制的进一步影响取决于在能量代谢及其调节的更广泛背景下了解葡萄糖的转运。该申请为年轻调查员参加2013年Faseb科学研究会议的住房和旅行提供支持，“葡萄糖运输：代谢系统生物学的门户”，2013年7月14日至19日，美国科罗拉多州雪摩斯村。 20年来，这次会议一直是参与葡萄糖运输研究的科学家面对面讨论新发现，出现问题以及新兴的实验方法的最重要机会，以解决葡萄糖运输及其巨大生理影响的复杂问题。本次会议的具体目的是1）整合多种方法，以在全身代谢复杂性和疾病的背景下理解葡萄糖传输和代谢，以及2）吸引新研究者进入葡萄糖和能量代谢的复杂而重要的领域。现代方法包括假设驱动和屏幕驱动的发现，后来涉及生成复杂的数据库和工具以实现假设检验。此外，当前的能量代谢概念必须解释微生物组的多个基因组的影响，并在人体内的不同壁ni相互作用。从原子机制到葡萄糖运输和能量代谢的系统生物学的八个会议，由每个领域的经验丰富的领先研究人员主持。为了确保及时讨论新兴信息，将从摘要中选择大约30％的程序，并将青年调查人员和科学家的参与中，这些群体的参与将受到该领域不足的群体的参与。
