55th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology

项目概要/摘要 该提案旨在请求支持第55届白细胞生物学学会年会，会议标题为： 白细胞在医学翻译的浪潮中。会议将于2022年10月26日至29日举行， 人的格式。本提案产生的资金将以旅行奖励的形式分配， 向年轻的调查员和受训人员提供急需的援助。第55次会议的组织者是多梅尼科 Mavilio，医学博士，米兰大学医学生物技术和转化医学系，米兰， 意大利和陈东博士，清华大学免疫学研究所，北京，中国。 SLB是领先的科学协会，专注于白细胞及其在急性淋巴细胞白血病病理生理学中的作用。 和慢性疾病。没有其他关于免疫系统研究的科学会议关注免疫系统。 白细胞与SLB的广度和深度，所以SLB主办的年会填补了这一空白。因此，我们认为， SLB是白细胞生物学领域的首要协会，每年召开一次会议，以促进科学交流 研究人员之间的培训，并支持受训人员和初级调查员的职业发展。所衍生的资金 这项建议将以旅行奖励的形式分发， 年轻的研究人员和受训人员参加的能力。年会的基本目标包括：1）推进 白细胞生物学和宿主防御领域的原创性研究和相关科学努力，2）促进 对白细胞生物学感兴趣的初级和新研究者的职业发展，3）传播 向更广泛的科学和非专业观众提供有关该领域的信息，以及4）鼓励翻译基本的 白细胞生物学研究在临床上的应用。这些目标将通过三个目标实现： 目标1。提供一个创新和科学进步的计划，在一个合议论坛，以解决 白细胞生物学的最新进展。议程将包括4个全体会议和8个并行会议 共有19位特邀演讲人参加了会议。目标2：为新的调查员和受训人员提供机会 与知名科学家密切互动2020年会议的一个重大创新将是SLB- 学校（白细胞生物学学会-职业发展和动手机会研讨会， 学习），将为学员提供一个全天的教学研讨会，涵盖与研究有关的主题， 微生物组我们的期望是，报名者将获得实际的洞察力，这一主题，更积极地 与该领域的专家一起参与。目的3：通过以下方式促进白细胞生物学领域的多样性和包容性： 培养妇女、代表性不足的群体和弱势个人的参与。多样性， 公平和包容（DEI）委员会将赞助研讨会和奖励，以鼓励参与 来自代表性不足群体的妇女和科学家。总而言之，2020年计划旨在 提高对白细胞生物学在健康和疾病中的影响的认识，并激励年轻的研究人员。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This proposal is to request support for the 55th Annual Meeting of the Society For Leukocyte Biology entitled: “Leukocytes on the Wave for Translating Medicine”. The meeting will be held October 26-29, 2022 with an in- person format. Funds derived from this proposal will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to young investigators and trainees. The Organizers of the 55th meeting are Domenico Mavilio, MD-PhD, Department of Medical Biotechnology and Translational Medicine, Milan University, Milan, Italy and Chen Dong, Ph.D., Institute for Immunology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. SLB is the leading scientific society with a focus on leukocytes and their roles in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic diseases. No other scientific meeting regarding study of the immune system focuses on the leukocyte with the breadth and depth of SLB so the annual meetings sponsored by SLB fill this void. Therefore, SLB is the premier society in the field of leukocyte biology, and convenes annually to promote scientific exchange among researchers and support the career development of trainees and junior investigators. Funds derived from this proposal will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to the ability young investigators and trainees to attend. The essential goals of the annual meeting include: 1) advancing original research and related scientific endeavors in the field of leukocyte biology and host defense, 2) promoting the career development of junior and new investigators interested in leukocyte biology, 3) disseminating information about the field to the wider scientific and lay audience, and 4) encouraging the translation of basic research in leukocyte biology to applications in the clinic. These goals will be achieved through three Aims: Aim 1. To provide an innovative and scientifically progressive program, in a collegial forum, to address the latest developments leukocyte biology. The agenda will include a total of 4 Plenary Sessions and 8 Concurrent Sessions with a total of 19 invited speakers. Aim 2: To provide an opportunity for new investigators and trainees to interact closely with established scientists. A significant innovation for the 2020 meeting will be the SLB- SCHOOL (Society for Leukocyte Biology-Symposium for Career development and Hands-On Opportunity to Learn) which will offer trainees a full day instructional workshop covering topics related to research regarding the microbiome. The expectation is that enrollees will gain practical insight into this topic and more actively participate with experts in the field. Aim 3: To promote diversity and inclusion in the field of leukocyte biology by cultivating the participation of women, underrepresented groups and disadvantaged individuals. The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) committee will sponsor workshops and awards to encourage the participation of women and scientists from underrepresented groups. In sum, the 2020 program is purposefully designed to enhance awareness of the influence of leukocyte biology in health and disease and inspire young investigators.
