The New Directions in Down Syndrome Research Conference will be held in Toronto, Canada, under the auspices of the National Down Syndrome Society (United States) and the Down Syndrome Research Foundation (Canada). The conference will be convened under the direction of the NDSS Science Advisory Board, in collaboration with an Organizing Committee, consisting of prominent Canadian researchers. The two-day conference will review and document the current status of Down syndrome-specific research in the five areas of Genetics; Psychobiology; Health Care; Aging and Alzheimer's Disease; and Mental Health. It will also review current knowledge about applying research findings to clinical practice, in order to help individuals with Down syndrome reach their full potential. New directions in Down syndrome research will also be explored. Plenary sessions will cover a variety of topics, including: an overview of genetic research; mapping and sequencing of the 21st chromosome; bio-ethical issues; psycho-social issues; speech, language and cognition; basic research; and bridging the gap between basic and applied research. Plenary speakers and some presenters will be selected by invitation. A call for papers will generate additional topics and speakers. There will also be poster sessions for scientists to present their work, particularly focused on younger investigators. The meeting will provide the opportunity for participants from the United States, Canada and around the globe, to interact with colleagues, synthesize and share knowledge, develop new collaborations, and generate ideas about practical applications. This conference will help to facilitate progress in research and practice on Down syndrome.

唐氏综合症研究新方向会议将在加拿大多伦多举行，由国家唐氏综合症协会（美国）和唐氏综合症研究基金会（加拿大）赞助。 会议将在NDSS科学咨询委员会的指导下召开，并与由加拿大著名研究人员组成的组织委员会合作。为期两天的会议将审查和记录唐氏综合征特定研究的现状，在遗传学，心理生物学，卫生保健，老龄化和阿尔茨海默病，和心理健康的五个领域。 它还将审查目前关于将研究结果应用于临床实践的知识，以帮助唐氏综合征患者充分发挥其潜力。 唐氏综合症研究的新方向也将被探索。全体会议将涵盖各种主题，包括：遗传研究概述;第21号染色体的绘图和测序;生物伦理问题;心理社会问题;言语、语言和认知;基础研究;以及弥合基础研究和应用研究之间的差距。 全体会议发言人和一些演讲者将通过邀请选出。 论文征集将产生更多的主题和演讲者。还将举办海报会议，让科学家展示他们的工作，特别是年轻的研究人员。 会议将为来自美国、加拿大和地球仪的与会者提供机会，与同事互动，综合和分享知识，发展新的合作，并就实际应用提出想法。这次会议将有助于促进唐氏综合症研究和实践的进展。
