项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a meeting on Carbohydrates as a Gordon Research Conference to be held at Colby College in Maine from June 19-24, 2011. The broad and long-term goal of this conference is to bring together glycoscientists from a range of chemical and biochemical disciplines to discuss unpublished research and define important questions in the field. The specific aims of this meeting will be to 1) bring together established and young investigators, including students and postdoctoral scholars, with every effort made to include women, minorities and the disabled, who work on the chemistry and biochemistry of carbohydrates; 2) present the current state of carbohydrate synthetic, computational, and analytical tools with an emphasis on illustrating their abilities and limitations through applied examples in areas such as the development of diagnostics, vaccines, and other therapeutics, as well as with cutting-edge examples from academia; and 3) highlight emerging research areas and build interdisciplinary collaborations between synthetic chemists, analytical chemists, computational chemists/biologists/bioinformaticists, and chemical biologists to best tackle the obstacles to our understanding of the structure of, functions of, and therapeutic and diagnostic interventions based on carbohydrate interactions. The significance of this application is that this Gordon Research Conference will provide a unique international forum to bring together scientists with a range of chemistry as well as biology backgrounds with interests in carbohydrate chemistry and biology. The health relatedness of this application is that the discussions generated will help define the important questions relating to basic glycoscience and also those required for the development of therapeutic strategies needed to intervene in carbohydrate-mediated disease processes such as host-pathogen interactions and cancer. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference on Carbohydrates will bring together established and young investigators, including students and postdoctoral scholars, with every effort made to include women, minorities and the disabled, who work on the chemistry and biochemistry of carbohydrates to present the current state of carbohydrate synthetic, computational, and analytical tools with an emphasis on illustrating their abilities and limitations through applied examples in areas such as the development of diagnostics, vaccines, and other therapeutics, as well as with cutting-edge examples from academia. In addition, the conference will highlight emerging research areas and build interdisciplinary collaborations between synthetic chemists, analytical chemists, computational chemists/biologists/bioinformaticists, and chemical biologists to best tackle the obstacles to our understanding of the structure of, functions of, and therapeutic and diagnostic interventions based on carbohydrate interactions.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案请求部分支持将于 2011 年 6 月 19 日至 24 日在缅因州科尔比学院举行的戈登研究会议，关于碳水化合物的会议。该会议的广泛和长期目标是汇集来自一系列化学和生物化学学科的糖科学家，讨论未发表的研究并定义该领域的重要问题。本次会议的具体目标是： 1）汇集成熟和年轻的研究人员，包括学生和博士后学者，尽一切努力包括从事碳水化合物化学和生物化学研究的妇女、少数民族和残疾人； 2) 介绍碳水化合物合成、计算和分析工具的现状，重点是通过诊断、疫苗和其他治疗方法开发等领域的应用示例以及前沿示例来说明其能力和局限性来自学术界； 3）突出新兴研究领域，并在合成化学家、分析化学家、计算化学家/生物学家/生物信息学家和化学生物学家之间建立跨学科合作，以最好地解决我们理解基于化学的结构、功能以及治疗和诊断干预措施的障碍。关于碳水化合物的相互作用。该应用的意义在于，本次戈登研究会议将提供一个独特的国际论坛，将具有各种化学和生物学背景、对碳水化合物化学和生物学感兴趣的科学家聚集在一起。该应用程序与健康的相关性在于，所产生的讨论将有助于定义与基础糖科学相关的重要问题，以及制定干预碳水化合物介导的疾病过程（例如宿主-病原体相互作用和癌症）所需的治疗策略所需的问题。公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：戈登碳水化合物研究会议将汇集知名和年轻的研究人员，包括学生和博士后学者，并尽一切努力将从事碳水化合物化学和生物化学工作的女性、少数族裔和残疾人纳入其中。碳水化合物介绍碳水化合物合成、计算和分析工具的当前状态，重点是通过诊断、疫苗和其他治疗方法开发等领域的应用示例来说明其能力和局限性，以及来自学术界的前沿例子。此外，会议将重点关注新兴研究领域，并在合成化学家、分析化学家、计算化学家/生物学家/生物信息学家和化学生物学家之间建立跨学科合作，以最好地解决我们理解其结构、功能和治疗和治疗的障碍。基于碳水化合物相互作用的诊断干预措施。
