DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins offers an international forum for the presentation of cutting-edge research on fungal, algal, and cyanobacterial toxins and the organisms that produce them. This multidisciplinary gathering will encompass the biology, ecology, genetics, chemistry and health effects of these natural hazards. In 2011, the conference will convene at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, June 12 - 17. The goals of the conference are to assemble a critical mass of leading-edge scientists to create an atmosphere for creative thinking to advance knowledge of the complex problems presented by these naturally occurring organisms and toxins. Considerable effort is made to provide opportunities for participants, outstanding scientists and aspiring students alike, to interact in relaxed surroundings that promote the free exchange of ideas on topics vital to the future of research on the societal and environmental impacts of mycotoxins and phycotoxins. The 2011 conference will focus on genetic and environmental regulation of biotoxigenesis, advanced analytical methods, mechanisms of action, exposure assessment, public health impacts and prevention/control. The conference is unique in that it brings together a diverse multidisciplinary group of research scientists and students who are all ultimately focused on solving similar problems--ensuring the health of the environment and the safety and security of the food supply. In addition to the GRC, a Mycotoxins & Phycotoxins Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar (GRS) will take place immediately preceding the GRC (June 11-12). Organized and conducted by graduate students and postdocs, the GRS will enable junior scientists to formally present their work to an audience of peers. These students will subsequently participate in the Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins GRC providing an unmatched opportunity to promote interactions between future researchers and established ones. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Fungal toxins (mycotoxins) and algal toxins (phycotoxins) are a major source of food-borne and water-borne disease in humans, agricultural animals, and wildlife. Safeguarding the public and ecosystem health from the effects of mycotoxins and phycotoxins depends on understanding their toxicology and how, when and why they are produced by fungi and algae. The Gordon Research Conference and Gordon-Kenan Seminar on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier scientific research on mycotoxins and phycotoxins that are known to contaminate our food or water supplies.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于霉菌毒素和植物毒素的戈登研究会议提供了一个国际论坛，用于介绍真菌，藻类和蓝细菌毒素的尖端研究以及产生它们的生物。这种多学科的聚会将涵盖这些自然危害的生物学，生态，遗传学，化学和健康影响。 2011年，该会议将于6月12日至17日在缅因州沃特维尔的科尔比学院举行会议。会议的目标是组装大量的领先科学家，以营造一种氛围，以创造性思维，以促进了解复杂问题的知识由这些天然存在的生物和毒素提出。为参与者，杰出的科学家和有抱负的学生提供了相当大的努力，以在轻松的环境中进行互动，从而促进有关霉菌毒素和植物毒素的社会和环境影响至关重要的主题的自由交流。 2011年会议将重点介绍生物毒素发生，先进的分析方法，行动机制，暴露评估，公共卫生影响和预防/控制的遗传和环境调节。该会议的独特之处在于，它汇集了一个多样化的多学科研究科学家和学生，他们最终致力于解决类似的问题 - 确保环境的健康以及食品供应的安全和安全。除GRC外，霉菌毒素和植物毒素Gordon-Kenan研究研讨会（GRS）将在GRC之前（6月11日至12日）举行。由研究生和博士后组织和指挥，GRS将使初级科学家能够正式向同伴观众展示其作品。这些学生随后将参加霉菌毒素和植物毒素GRC，提供无与伦比的机会来促进未来研究人员与已建立的研究人员之间的互动。 公共卫生相关性：真菌毒素（霉菌毒素）和藻类毒素（植物毒素）是人类，农业动物和野生动植物中粮食传播和水传播疾病的主要来源。保护公众和生态系统健康免受霉菌毒素和植物毒素的影响，取决于了解其毒理学以及如何，何时以及为什么由真菌和藻类产生它们。戈登研究会议和戈登 - 肯南关于霉菌毒素和植物毒素的研讨会提供了一个国际论坛，以介绍和讨论有关霉菌毒素和植物毒素的边境科学研究，这些研究旨在污染我们的食品或供应。
