项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for partial support of the 2015 Collagen Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). It will be the 27th meeting of this GRC since its inception in 1970 and 3rd meeting of the GRS since its inception in 2011. The GRC will be held at the Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH, from July 12th to July 17th. It will be preceded by the GRS at the same location, from July 11th to July 12th. This GRC has historically provided a unique forum for a diverse, international group of junior and senior scientists to present and discuss recent advances at the frontier of chemistry, biology and pathology of connective tissues with a focus on collagens, which are the major components of these tissues. The conference provides an environment conducive to informal interactions and discussions among investigators of different interests and technical expertise that enrich and advance the field. Collaborations are established, new scientists are recruited to the field, and major discoveries about collagen are often reported for the first time at this conference. The GRS provides a forum for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to showcase and discuss their work among peers and mentors. All GRS attendees are encouraged to participate in the GRC, enhancing the participation of young scientists and enriching the conference atmosphere. The specific aims of the 2015 Collagen GRC and GRS are: 1) to communicate and disseminate new, mostly unpublished data and concepts; 2) to promote interactions and collaborations among basic, clinical, and industry researchers; 3) to facilitate student and fellow interactions among each other and with established scientists; and 4) to increase diversity and attract new researchers to the collagen field. The program will focus on new, unpublished findings and concepts relating expression, biosynthesis and structure of collagens to their function and pathology, particularly in applicatio to developmental biology and disorders of muscle, bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and skin as well as to inflammation and rheumatic diseases. Importantly, new session topics have been integrated into the traditional program to bolster interest, increase participation in the conference, ensure enthusiasm throughout the week, and promote major advancements in the field. Each session will feature graduate students and postdoctoral fellows selected from the GRS. New topics relative to the previous conference include Collagens in Basement Membranes, Collagens in Cell Niche and Cell Signaling, Collagens in Organism Physiology, and Collagen Based Materials and Bioengineering. The other session will provide updates on such important topics as Expression and Regulation of Collagen Genes and Gene Networks, Structure and Function of Different Domains in Collagen Molecules, Collagen Homeostasis, and Collagens in Pathology. Overall this international conference will showcase the major advances in the field of collagen research and will be, as it has always been, the seminal conference in the field.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是对2015年胶原蛋白戈登研究会议（GRC）和相关戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的部分支持的申请。这将是该GRC自1970年成立以来的第27次会议，也是第3次会议。自 2011 年成立以来，GRS 召开了多次会议。GRC 将于 7 月起在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的 Colby-Sawyer 学院举行7 月 12 日至 7 月 17 日，GRS 将于 7 月 11 日至 7 月 12 日在同一地点举行。结缔组织的化学、生物学和病理学前沿，重点关注胶原蛋白，胶原蛋白是这些组织的主要组成部分，会议为不同兴趣和技术专业知识的研究人员之间的非正式互动和讨论提供了一个有利于丰富和讨论的环境。 GRS 为研究生和博士后研究员提供了一个展示和讨论他们的工作的论坛。鼓励所有GRS与会者参加GRC，提高年轻科学家的参与度，丰富会议气氛。2015 Collagen GRC和GRS的具体目标是：1）交流和传播。新的、大部分未发表的数据和概念；2) 促进基础、临床和行业研究人员之间的互动和合作；3) 促进学生之间以及与知名科学家之间的互动；4) 增加多样性并吸引新的科学家；该项目将重点关注胶原蛋白表达、生物合成和结构与其功能和病理学相关的新的、未发表的发现和概念，特别是在发育生物学和肌肉、骨骼、软骨、韧带、肌腱、重要的是，新的会议主题已纳入传统计划中，以增强兴趣，增加会议参与度，确保整个星期的热情，并促进该领域的重大进展。与上届会议相关的研究生和博士后研究员包括基底膜中的胶原蛋白、细胞生态位中的胶原蛋白和细胞信号传导、生物体生理学中的胶原蛋白以及基于胶原蛋白的材料和生物工程。另一场会议将提供胶原蛋白基因和基因网络的表达和调控、胶原蛋白分子不同域的结构和功能、胶原蛋白稳态和胶原蛋白病理学等重要主题的最新进展。胶原蛋白研究领域的会议，并将一如既往地成为该领域的开创性会议。
