DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Gordon Research Conference on Direction Cell Migration is to provide a stimulating forum for the dissemination and discussion of new research, concepts and opportunities at the forefront of cell migration. Peter Devreotes and Jeff Segall, who organized the first meeting held in 2005, envisioned developing a forum fostering interactions among scientists with a strong interest in gradient sensing and directed cell migration. After 10 years, the conference is considered to be the top research conference in cell migration. The program for the 2015 conference, to be held January 24-30 at Hotel Galvez, Galveston, TX, is aimed at bringing together cell migration scientists from diverse disciplines, including molecular and cell biologists, engineers and physicists. A strong emphasis will be placed on (1) basic mechanisms of cell migration at the levels of signal transduction and actin assembly, (2) inclusion of researchers that work with model systems as well as in vivo systems, (3) the study of cell migration during development, leukocyte trafficking, wound healing, and cancer invasion and metastasis and (4) comparing and contrasting single-cell versus collective cell migration in 2- and 3-dimensional environments. The aims of the conference are to: (1) provide a forum for the discussion of cutting edge research in the area of directed cell migration, with a particular focus on multidisciplinary approaches and collaborative science, (2) promote both formal and informal scientific exchanges among scientists investigating directed cell migration, including young scientists, women and scientists from underrepresented minority backgrounds, and (3) discuss recent advances especially relevant to the biology of cancer invasion and metastasis. To accomplish these aims, the 2015 Conference will bring together an international cadre of young and senior scientists from academia that will interact in an atmosphere conducive to the free exchange of ideas. As in 2013, the 2015 GRC will be preceded by a GRS on Directed Cell Migration, organized by young researchers (Ritankar Majumdar and Shirin Pocha), with focus on using multidisciplinary approaches in the study of cell migration. This event will help nurture junior researchers towards a successful and rewarding career in the field of cell migration. The GRS will be opened by Andrew Ewald (JHU), who will discuss new paradigms in collective breast cancer invasion. The closing GRS lecture will be given by Xavier Trepat (Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, Spain) on the control of collective cell migration by intercellular adhesome. Eight talks selected from the abstracts and two poster sessions will allow for engaged interactions and discussions. In addition, an informal "Ask the PI" seminar with the Chairs and Keynote Speakers on career development in the field of cell migration will be included. For both, the GRC and GRS, financial support will assure that the meeting will be successful and provide needed sponsorship for travel and registration of invited speakers and other selected participants.

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登定向细胞迁移研究会议的目标是提供一个激动人心的论坛，以传播和讨论细胞迁移前沿的新研究、概念和机会。 Peter Devreotes 和 Jeff Segall 组织了 2005 年举行的第一次会议，他们设想建立一个论坛，促进对梯度传感和定向细胞迁移有浓厚兴趣的科学家之间的互动。 10年后，该会议被认为是细胞迁移领域的顶级研究会议。 2015 年会议将于 1 月 24 日至 30 日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿的加尔维斯酒店举行，其目的是将来自不同学科的细胞迁移科学家聚集在一起，包括分子和细胞生物学家、工程师和物理学家。将重点关注（1）信号转导和肌动蛋白组装水平上细胞迁移的基本机制，（2）纳入模型系统以及体内系统的研究人员，（3）细胞的研究发育过程中的迁移、白细胞运输、伤口愈合以及癌症侵袭和转移；(4) 比较和对比 2 维和 3 维环境中的单细胞与集体细胞迁移。会议的目的是：（1）为讨论定向细胞迁移领域的前沿研究提供一个论坛， 特别注重多学科方法和协作科学，(2) 促进研究定向细胞迁移的科学家之间的正式和非正式科学交流，包括年轻科学家、妇女和来自少数族裔背景的科学家，以及 (3) 讨论特别与以下领域相关的最新进展：癌症侵袭和转移的生物学。为了实现这些目标，2015 年会议将汇集来自学术界的年轻和资深科学家组成的国际骨干队伍，他们将在有利于自由交流思想的氛围中进行互动。与 2013 年一样，2015 年 GRC 之前将举办由年轻研究人员（Ritankar Majumdar 和 Shirin Pocha）组织的关于定向细胞迁移的 GRS，重点是在细胞迁移研究中使用多学科方法。此次活动将有助于培养初级研究人员在细胞迁移领域取得成功且有价值的职业生涯。 GRS 将由 Andrew Ewald (JHU) 主持开幕，他将讨论集体乳腺癌侵袭的新范例。 GRS 闭幕式演讲将由 Xavier Trepat（西班牙加泰罗尼亚生物工程研究所）主讲，内容涉及控制 通过细胞间粘附体进行集体细胞迁移。从摘要中选出的八个演讲和两个海报会议将允许进行互动和讨论。此外，还将包括由主席和主讲人就细胞迁移领域的职业发展举行的非正式“询问 PI”研讨会。对于 GRC 和 GRS 来说，财政支持将确保会议取得成功，并为受邀演讲者和其他选定参与者的旅行和注册提供所需的赞助。
