DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for the FASEB Summer Research Conference on Molecular Biophysics of Cellular Membranes. The importance of cellular membranes can hardly be overstated. The content of this meeting will integrate diverse areas of membrane biology and physics to seek answers to address critical questions regarding the biology of membranes. The 2010 conference will be the 11th in a 22 year series of FASEB meetings devoted to this area of research. The conference focus will be on the basic biophysical and structural principles underlying membrane structure and function, including membrane protein structure and assembly, and molecular descriptions of the mechanisms of membrane protein function. A principal objective of this conference has always been to stimulate cross-pollination of ideas amongst a diverse group of membrane biophysicists, cell biologists, biochemists, and physiologists by bringing them together in an intimate setting to share the latest developments in their fields. For example in past meetings, talks have ranged from highly biophysical (membrane protein folding, design, structure, and modeling), to highly biological (viral entry/exit and bacterial toxins). Thus, biophysicists are exposed to interesting biological problems in need of physical insight and biologists can learn about new ideas and techniques for studying and understanding membranes. The intention of the proposed conference is to continue the success of this broad mix, although the focus will remain on membrane biophysics. The requested funds will be used to support the registration and travel expenses of a diverse set of speakers, who include young investigators. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will provide support for world class speakers to participate in the FASEB Summer Conference on Molecular Biophysics of Cellular Membranes, which is held every other summer. Membranes and membrane proteins play a host of critical roles in health and disease but are extremely difficult to study. This conference will promote advances in membrane biology and biophysics by providing a venue for collegial sharing of cutting-edge advances and for promoting future advances by cross- fertilization of ideas among the diverse set of participants in this meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：请求支持 FASEB 细胞膜分子生物物理学夏季研究会议。细胞膜的重要性怎么强调都不为过。本次会议的内容将整合膜生物学和物理学的不同领域，以寻求解决有关膜生物学的关键问题的答案。 2010 年的会议将是 FASEB 22 年系列会议中的第 11 次会议，该系列会议致力于该领域的研究。会议重点将讨论膜结构和功能的基本生物物理和结构原理，包括膜蛋白结构和组装，以及膜蛋白功能机制的分子描述。本次会议的主要目标始终是通过将膜生物物理学家、细胞生物学家、生物化学家和生理学家聚集在一起，分享各自领域的最新进展，促进不同群体之间思想的交叉授粉。例如，在过去的会议中，讨论范围从高度生物物理（膜蛋白折叠、设计、结构和建模）到高度生物（病毒进入/退出和细菌毒素）。因此，生物物理学家面临着需要物理洞察力的有趣的生物学问题，生物学家可以了解研究和理解膜的新想法和技术。拟议会议的目的是继续这种广泛组合的成功，尽管重点仍将放在膜生物物理学上。所请求的资金将用于支持包括年轻研究人员在内的各种演讲者的注册和差旅费。 公共卫生相关性：该项目将为世界级演讲者提供支持，让他们参加 FASEB 细胞膜分子生物物理学夏季会议，该会议每隔一个夏天举行一次。膜和膜蛋白在健康和疾病中发挥着许多关键作用，但研究起来极其困难。本次会议将通过提供一个平台来促进膜生物学和生物物理学的进步，为学院分享前沿进展提供场所，并通过本次会议的不同参与者之间的思想交叉传播来促进未来的进步。
