Oral Immunology/Microbiology research group annual meeting

口腔免疫学/微生物学研究小组(OIMRG)的成立是为了促进大学 对口腔免疫学和微生物学感兴趣的研究人员之间的互动和合作 空洞的，尤指与口腔疾病有关的。是为了回应一种普遍的看法，即大型会议 像IADR/ASM大会这样的会议并没有提供一个适合私下讨论的论坛， 在合作方面，OIMRG目前由代表48所大学的178名调查人员组成， 美国和海外的研究中心和商业组织。 该小组每年召开一次年度会议，每个会议由三个科学会议组成 专注于口腔免疫学和微生物学的一个独特领域。主要是通过年会 OIMRG的目标已经实现。这些目标包括：1)促进互动 以及对口腔免疫学和微生物学感兴趣的科学家之间的合作，2)促进信息 院士与参与其中的私营部门同事之间的交流与合作 与口腔健康和疾病有关的基础和临床研究，以及3)提供一个论坛，通过这个论坛 进入该领域的调查人员可以开始与更成熟的调查人员建立网络，从而获得高 高质量的指导和职业建议，并与联邦和非联邦代表建立联系 这可能是未来研究的潜在资金来源。 这次年会是以已故OIMRG创始人马克·威尔逊的名字命名的。会议花了很多时间 放在周末，周六、周日和周一上午8点到下午1点运行，下午留出空闲时间 通过一对一和/或小组进行专业发展和建立研究协作 非正式讨论。鼓励参与者带上家人；因此，下午也是 适用于有计划的团体和个人非正式活动，让参与者的家人了解一个人 另一种是与享受场地和周边区域一起。这群人在周五晚上聚集在一起欢迎 接待处，早餐在每天早上之前供应，周日晚上举行宴会，有 打开麦克风，进行有关会议的一般性讨论，并欢迎新的参与者加入小组。下一个 会议将于2021年2月5日至8日举行。主办方目前正在与 感谢佛罗里达州好莱坞的玛格丽塔维尔酒店主办这次会议。

The Oral Immunology/Microbiology Research Group (OIMRG) was founded as a means of promoting collegial interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in the immunology and microbiology of the oral cavity, particularly as related to oral diseases. Formed in response to a general perception that large meetings such as the IADR/ASM General Sessions do not provide a forum suitable for intimate discourse and collaboration, the OIMRG is currently comprised of 178 investigators representing forty-eight universities, research centers, and commercial organizations in the U.S. and abroad. Once each year, the group convenes for an annual meeting that consists of three scientific sessions, each focusing upon a distinct area of oral immunology and microbiology. It is primarily through the annual meeting that the objectives of the OIMRG are achieved. These objectives include the following: 1) to foster interaction and collaboration among scientists interested in oral immunology and microbiology, 2) to promote information exchange and collaboration between academicians and their colleagues in the private sector who are engaged in basic and clinical studies pertaining to oral health and disease, and 3) to provide a forum through which new investigators entering the field can begin to network with more established investigators, thereby obtaining high quality mentoring and career advice and establish contact with representatives of federal and non-federal agencies, which may be potential sources of funding for future studies. The annual meeting is named in honor of the late Mark Wilson, founder of the OIMRG. The meetings take place over a weekend and run from 8 AM – 1 PM Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, leaving afternoons free for professional development and establishing research collaborations through one-on-one and/or small group informal discussions. Participants are encouraged to bring their families; therefore, the afternoons are also available for planned group and individual informal activities for participants’ families to get to know one another and enjoy the venue and surrounding area together. The group gathers on Friday night for a welcome reception, breakfast is served prior to each morning session and a banquet is held on Sunday evening with an open mic for general discussions regarding the meeting and welcoming new participants to the group. The next meeting will take place February 5-8, 2021. The organizers are currently in contract negotiations with the Margaritaville Hotel in Hollywood, FL for hosting the meeting.
