项目摘要

ABSTRACT The Gordon Research Conference on Glial Biology: Functional Interactions Among Glia and Neurons will host its 9th meeting in 2019 in Ventura, California. This conference brings together a diverse group of established investigators and young trainees from around the world and is widely considered the preeminent forum devoted to the topic of glial cells in health and disease. The overarching aim of the GRC on Glial Biology is to discuss cutting edge research focused on glial cell development, functional interactions between glia and other cell types and the contributions of glial cells to disease and other disorders of the nervous system. The 2019 meeting will emphasize emerging information about the molecular diversity of glial cells, between and within glial cell classes, developmental stages and disease stages. This meeting will also highlight state-of-the-art technologies that have the potential to greatly expand the ability to selectively visualize and manipulate distinct glial cell types, to gain greater insight into the diverse roles of glia in a variety of contexts. The meeting will host presentations from 41 Speakers in sessions led by 18 Discussion Leaders, representing both influential, established scientists and young investigators just beginning to embark on their independent research careers. More than half of the speakers are woman, and greater than 30% of the Speakers are young investigators within five years of establishing their own laboratories. Of note, two established female scientists will lead a timely and important discussion session (“Power Hour”) entitled Creating an inclusive lab environment: Preventing and addressing harassment and discrimination”. Participation by underrepresented minorities is being actively solicited and will be supported by available funds, and inclusion of investigators and trainees from all people groups, including underrepresented minorities and those with disabilities, will be a top priority. The support of this grant is critical to maximize trainee participation, as it funds not only the GRC, but also the trainee-led Gordon Research Seminar on Glial Biology, which will host its 3rd meeting just prior to the GRC. The GRS provides an opportunity for young scientists (graduate students and postdocs) in the field to share ideas, receive mentorship and present their work in progress via platform or poster presentations. In both the GRC and GRS, designated sessions will focus on the development and function of glia in neural circuitry and metabolic support in both the healthy and diseased brain and the broader nervous system. The dissemination of cutting edge research findings and extensive training opportunities for junior scientists enabled by this meeting are highly pertinent to the overall mission of the NIH.

抽象的戈登神经胶质生物学研究会议：神经胶质细胞和神经胶质细胞之间的功能相互作用 Neurons 将于 2019 年在加利福尼亚州文图拉举办第九次会议。由来自世界各地的知名研究人员和年轻学员组成的多元化群体被广泛认为是致力于神经胶质细胞在健康和疾病中的主题的杰出论坛。 GRC 神经胶质生物学的总体目标是讨论重点研究的前沿研究神经胶质细胞的发育、神经胶质细胞与其他细胞类型之间的功能相互作用以及神经胶质细胞对神经系统疾病和其他疾病的贡献。会议将重点介绍有关神经胶质细胞分子多样性的新信息，神经胶质细胞类别、发育阶段和疾病阶段之间和之内。还将重点介绍有潜力极大扩展应用领域的最先进技术能够选择性地可视化和操纵不同的神经胶质细胞类型，以获得更深入的了解会议将主持 41 名神经胶质细胞在各种情况下的不同作用。会议由 18 位讨论领袖主持，他们代表了具有影响力的、既定的科学家和年轻的研究人员刚刚开始进行独立研究超过一半的演讲者是女性，超过 30% 的演讲者是女性。值得注意的是，年轻的研究人员在五年内建立了自己的实验室。知名女科学家将主持一场及时而重要的讨论会议（“Power Hour”）题为创建包容性的实验室环境：预防和解决骚扰和正在积极争取代表性不足的少数群体的参与，并且愿意这样做。得到可用资金的支持，并纳入来自所有人的调查员和受训人员包括代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人在内的群体将成为重中之重。这笔赠款的支持对于最大化学员参与至关重要，因为它不仅资助 GRC，还有由实习生主导的戈登神经胶质生物学研究研讨会，该研讨会将举办第三届 GRC 之前的会议 GRS 为年轻科学家（毕业生）提供了机会。学生和博士后）在该领域分享想法，接受指导并展示他们的工作通过平台或海报展示取得进展在 GRC 和 GRS 的指定会议上。将重点关注神经回路和代谢支持中神经胶质细胞的发育和功能健康和患病的大脑以及更广泛的神经系统。为初级科学家提供前沿研究成果和广泛的培训机会这次会议促成的成果与 NIH 的总体使命高度相关。
