Gordon conference on macromolecular organisation and cell function: cellular systems biology. (360G-Wellcome-080370_Z_06_Z)

£5,717

The Gordon Research Conference has been meeting biannually since 1987, with the first conference organized by Paul A. Srere and Mary Ellen Jones. The conference was held five times in the winter, at sites in California, with the original title of "Enzyme Organization and Cell Function." Because of rapidly developing and widespread interest in the occurrence and importance of the intracellular organization of macromolecules and other enzymes, the title was changed to Macromolecular Organization and Cell Function by a vote of the participants in the 1995 conference. The mission of the Gordon Research Conferences is to address developments "at the frontiers of science", and the scientific program and participants are required to fulfil this mission. The organizers of the 2006 meeting are committed to maintaining the high scientific standards set by the previous conference chairs while enhancing attendance of junior scientists through acquisition of significant funds to offset their expenses. The program will continue to focus on the most recent advances in the field of cellular organization, introduce directions for the future, and promote general discussion, with the goal of providing a stimulating and valuable experience for all of the conferees. A unique aspect of this conference is that it addresses a special need within the growing community of scientists focusing their attention on cellular organization and biocomplexity. It does this by cutting across disciplines to bring together individuals with different areas of expertise who are addressing diverse, yet overlapping, scientific questions and goals. The conference is exceptional in promoting the interaction of people at all levels of experience and background, both because a significant number of the conferees have not attended previously, and also because the conference is organized to promote both formal and informal discussions.
