RECENT ADVANCES IN TROPICAL DISEASES SYMPOSIUM

这项提议要求五年支持一个名为“近期”的研讨会 热带疾病的免疫学和生物化学研究进展 下一次研讨会将在纳什维尔的梅哈里医学院举行， 田纳西州将于1995年4月10日至11日星期一和星期二获得 热带病分子生物学：国际卫生：目标 这些研讨会有两个方面： (1)讨论引起热带气候变化的生物的研究现状 疾病； (2)鼓励少数族裔学生进修研究生 分子生物学、生物化学和生物医学科学。 研讨会将由研究生院和 Meharry Medical的研究和生物医学科学部 上大学。作为这次会议的一部分，本科生和研究生 将鼓励历史上的黑人学院和大学 出席并展示关于他们正在进行的研究的海报 并讨论我们机构正在进行的研究。这个 研讨会将包括热带地区不同地区的六名特邀讲师 疾病覆盖非洲锥虫病、血吸虫病、 疟疾、利什曼病、麻风病和恰加斯病。充裕的时间将是 可供讨论。 自1984年以来，每年都会与该领域的领导人举行研讨会。 出现的热带病，并刺激了 少数民族学生进入生物医学科学研究生学习。

This proposal requests five year support for a symposium entitled "Recent Advances in the Immunology and Biochemistry of Tropical Diseases". The next symposium which will be held at Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday and Tuesday, April 10 - 11, 1995 will be entitled "Molecular Biology of Tropical Diseases:" International Health: The goals of these symposia are twofold: (1) To discuss current research on the organisms which cause tropical diseases; (2) To stimulate minority students towards postgraduate education in molecular biology, biochemistry and biomedical sciences. The symposia will be sponsored by the School of Graduate Studies and Research and the Division of Biomedical Sciences at Meharry Medical College. As part of this conference, undergraduate and graduate students from historically black colleges and universities will be encouraged to attend and present posters on research that they are undertaking in various laboratories and discuss ongoing research at our institution. The symposium will include six invited lecturers in various areas in tropical diseases covering areas such as African trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, malaria, leishmaniasis, leprosy and Chagas disease. Ample time will be available for discussions. The symposium has been held each year since 1984 with leaders in the field of tropical diseases presenting and has stimulated the enrollment of minority students into biomedical sciences graduate studies.
