项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A The 2016 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on "Visual Systems Development" provides a forum for junior and senior scientists from many disciplines to share unpublished, innovative research. This biennial meeting was established in 2000 under the auspices of the GRC, an organization internationally known for the high quality, cutting edge nature of its meetings. The next "Visual Systems Development" GRC will be held August 7-12, 2016, and the accompanying Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on August 6-7, 2016, at the Mount Snow Conference Facility, in West Dover, Vermont. This is an ideal setting for encouraging intense and invigorating discussions in a collegial atmosphere. Scientists, who share a common interest in the development of the visual system, but work on diverse model systems, have few opportunities to interact scientifically in such a focused setting. The specific objectives are to foster interactions across disciplines, promote a sense of community among vision researchers, provide a springboard into vision-related research for scientists from other fields, and mentor students in a supportive scientific setting. The invited speakers include both prominent scholars and promising young scientists who are applying new approaches to the visual system and other intersecting fields. In addition to the invited speakers, all participants can present their research at highly interactive poster sessions. Short talks will also be selected from the submitted poster abstracts, and integrated in each session. The Visual System Development GRC has established a reputation as the leading conference in its field, and has continued to garner extremely positive reviews, particularly for adding a trainee- organized GRS pre-meeting. The GRS assembles ~40-45 graduate and postdoctoral trainees to present and discuss their research immediately before the GRC begins. A few senior investigators will attend the GRS to provide advice and feedback, thereby nurturing the careers of our future principal investigators. A guiding principle that keeps these conferences fresh and relevant is our commitment to explore novel themes, and to gather a completely new cast of speakers, for each successive meeting. The specific program described in this application aims to represent the breadth of eye development, function, evolution and disease, yet also delineate thematic foci. Thus, the 2016 meeting will highlight timely topics with translational impact, like "Stem Cells to Organs," "Circuitry, Synapses and Biological Clocks," and "Ocular Disease Mechanisms." This meeting continues to expand its scope by promoting stimulating cross talk between developmental biologists and investigators focused on translational aspects of vision science. The 2016 GRC/GRS meetings will encourage greater understanding of the basic principles that drive the development and maintenance of the visual system, with the anticipation that these findings lead to better treatments for ocular and other neurological diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：A 2016 年戈登研究会议（GRC）“视觉系统开发”为来自多个学科的初级和高级科学家提供了一个分享未发表的创新研究的论坛，该会议每两年召开一次，于 2000 年主办。 GRC 是一个以其会议的高质量、前沿性而闻名的组织，下届“视觉系统开发”GRC 将于 8 月 7 日至 12 日举行。 2016 年，以及 2016 年 8 月 6 日至 7 日在佛蒙特州西多佛山雪山会议中心举行的戈登研究研讨会 (GRS)，这是在学院氛围中鼓励和活跃讨论的理想场所。对视觉系统的发展有共同的兴趣，但在不同的模型系统上工作，很少有机会在这样一个集中的环境中进行科学互动，具体目标是促进跨学科的互动，促进跨学科的互动。视觉研究人员之间的社区意识，为其他领域的科学家提供与视觉相关的研究的跳板，并在支持性的科学环境中指导学生。受邀演讲者包括正在将新方法应用于视觉系统的著名学者和有前途的年轻科学家。除了受邀演讲者外，所有参与者都可以在高度互动的海报会议上展示他们的研究成果。视觉系统开发 GRC 已成为该领域领先会议的声誉，并持续获得极其积极的评价，特别是增加了由实习生组织的 GRS 预会。 GRS 聚集了大约 40-45 名研究生和博士后学员，以便在 GRC 开始之前展示和讨论他们的研究成果。使这些会议保持新鲜感和相关性的是我们致力于探索新颖的主题，并为每次连续的会议聚集全新的演讲者。本申请中描述的具体计划旨在代表眼睛发育、功能、进化和发展的广度。因此，2016 年会议将重点关注具有转化影响的及时主题，例如“干细胞到器官”、“电路、突触和生物钟”以及“眼部疾病”。机制。”本次会议通过促进发育生物学家和关注视觉科学转化方面的研究人员之间的刺激性交流，继续扩大其范围。2016 年 GRC/GRS 会议将鼓励人们更好地理解推动视觉科学发展和维护的基本原则。视觉系统，预计这些发现将为眼部和其他神经系统疾病带来更好的治疗。
