FASEB Conference: Renal Hemodynamics - Integration of Entegration of Endothelial, Epithelial & Vascular, on June 27 - July 2, 1998, at Saxton's River, Vermont

本申请申请为FASEB肾血流动力学：内皮上皮和血管控制机制的整合夏季研究会议提供部分资金，该会议将于1998年6月27日至7月2日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院举行，由美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）主持。会议将聚集来自多个学科的研究人员，他们使用不同的方法（细胞和分子结合整个动物）来了解肾循环的调节。会议形式包括九个主要会议，五个上午会议和四个晚上会议，每天在晚餐前举行海报讨论。将有大约75位受邀发言者，在会议主席简要介绍之后，他们将讨论目前尚未解决的问题和最近正在进行的旨在解决这些问题的研究。每位演讲者都被要求介绍他们最近未发表的作品，并着重于确定该领域未解决的主要问题以及回答这些问题的实验方法。每次演讲之后都有讨论，下午有大量的时间供参与者进行非正式讨论。1989年、1992年和1995年的前几次会议非常成功，有助于与会者之间的思想交流。鉴于这一重要领域的迅速发展，我们期望1998年的会议将促进在这一复杂的综合系统中工作的不同层次的研究人员之间的进一步交流和互动。为了激发今后对这一领域的调查兴趣，已设法从活跃和有贡献的实验室中找出年轻的调查人员作为发言人（包括研究员和学员），并特别注意少数民族和妇女。

9802445 Hall This application requests partial funding for a FASEB Summer Research Conference on Renal Hemodynamics: Integration of Endothelial Epithelial and Vascular Control Mechanisms to be held on June 27-July 2, 1998 at Vermont Academy, Saxton's River, Vermont under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). The conference will assemble investigators from multiple disciplines who use diverse approaches (cell and molecular to integrative whole animal) to understand the regulation of the renal circulation. The format consists of nine major sessions, five morning and four evening sessions, with daily pre-dinner poster discussion sessions. There will be approximately 75 invited speakers who, after brief overview by the session chairs, will address current unresolved issues and recent ongoing research directed at their resolution. Each speaker has been asked to present their most recent unpublished work and to focus on identifying the major unanswered questions in the field and the experimental approaches to answering these questions. Each presentation is followed by discussion and there is a large amount of time available in the afternoons for informal discussions among the participants. Previous conferences in 1989, 1992, and 1995 were very successful and conducive to the exchange of ideas among the participants. Given the rapid developments in this important area, we expect that the 1998 conference will foster further exchange and interaction among investigators working at different levels within this complex integrated system. To stimulate future investigative interests in the area, attempts have been made to identify young investigators from active, contributing laboratories as speakers (including fellows and trainees) with special attention given to minorities and women.
