Sun Valley Workshop: Musculoskeletal Biology; Sun Valley, Idaho; August 3-6, 2014

该奖项提供资金支持年轻研究者参加2014年8月3日至6日在爱达荷州太阳谷举行的肌肉骨骼生物学太阳谷研讨会年会。研讨会有40年的传统，强调初级教师和学生的积极互动。研讨会促进了跨学科的交流，不同寻常的是，讨论的时间等于或超过了正式演讲的时间。研讨会的目标是：(1)致力于与骨和关节疾病的发病、预防和治疗相关的分子、组织和生物力学过程的多学科基础和临床合成；(2)为青年研究人员提供培训讲习班，帮助弥合学科之间的差距；(3)为学生培训提供论坛，并为初级研究人员提供在小组环境中与更资深的科学家交谈的机会。本次研讨会的主题是骨骼与其他器官系统的相互作用，会议将集中讨论神经肽对骨骼过程的调节、骨骼脆性和血管钙化之间的关联、骨骼肌与骨骼生物学和生物力学特性之间的关联、骨骼与免疫系统的相互作用以及肠道微生物组对骨骼健康的调节。该研讨会与公共卫生问题相关，因为它将多学科的高级和初级科学家聚集在一起讨论骨骼与其他器官系统的相互作用。它提供垂直导向的整合，从基础科学到临床病理学，到不完全熟悉这些社会关注的疾病的所有方面的从业人员和科学家。为初级调查员提供了与高级调查员互动的机会。面向年轻研究人员的职业发展研讨会将包括“我如何编制简历？”和“面试过程”小组讨论。作为指导的另一个方面，研讨会前的青年研究员导师已被指派与将发表演讲的年轻研究人员一起工作。国际知名学者Steven Goldring博士受邀做全体演讲。讲习班总结的结果通过国际骨与矿物学会的在线期刊BoneKEy广泛传播：http://www.bonekey-ibms.org/misc/Meetingsupplements.dtl。在研讨会之前也可以访问摘要：www.ibmsonline.org/Meetings。

This award provides funds to support the participation of young investigators in the annual meeting of the Sun Valley Workshop on Musculoskeletal Biology held in Sun Valley, Idaho, August 3-6, 2014. The Workshops have a 40 year tradition, and emphasize active interaction of junior faculty and students. The Workshops promote interdisciplinary communication, and are unusual in that discussion time equals or exceeds time allotted for formal presentation. The goals of the Workshop are to (1) work toward a multidisciplinary basic and clinical synthesis of molecular, tissue and biomechanical processes related to the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of bone and joint diseases; (2) provide training workshops for young investigators that help bridge the gaps between disciplines; (3) provide a forum for student training and the opportunity for junior investigators to talk with more senior scientists in a small group setting. This 2014 Workshop will address the theme of The Interaction of Bone with Other Organ Systems through sessions focused on the Regulation of Skeletal Processes by Neuropeptides, the Association Between Bone Fragility and Vascular Calcification, the Association between Skeletal Muscle and Bone Biological and Biomechanical Properties, the Interaction of Bone and the Immune System, and the Regulation of Bone Health by the Gut Microbiome. This Workshop is relevant to public health concerns because it brings a multi-disciplinary group of senior and junior scientists together to discuss the interaction of bone with other organ systems. It provides vertically-oriented integration, from basic science to clinical pathology, to practitioners and scientists who are not completely familiar with all aspects of these diseases of societal concern.Opportunities are provided for junior investigators to interact with more senior investigators. A Career Development Workshop geared toward young investigators will include sections on "How do I put together a curriculum vitae?" and a panel discussion on "The Interview Process". As an additional aspect of mentorship, pre-workshop young investigator mentors have been assigned to work with young investigators who will be giving talks. An internationally-recognized scholar, Dr. Steven Goldring, has been invited to provide a Plenary Lecture. The summarized results of the workshop are disseminated widely through BoneKEy, the online journal of the International Bone and Mineral Society: http://www.bonekey-ibms.org/misc/Meetingsupplements.dtl. The abstracts can be accessed prior to the Workshop as well: www.ibmsonline.org/Meetings.
