CONFERENCE ON MOLECULAR HELMINTHOLOGY

描述：本次Keystone研讨会是一次独一无二的会议， 对多细胞真核寄生虫的影响， 世界这将是第三次会议;上一次会议是在1996年。 的 专题讨论会的目的不仅是提出在该领域的最新研究结果， 分子蠕虫学，但也利用分子和 遗传系统可从其他多细胞真核蠕虫，如 秀丽隐杆线虫 任务是整合现有的大量知识 梭与寄生蠕虫中的相同， 将这些信息转化为寄生蠕虫研究的相关方向。 青年科学家（研究生和博士后研究员）应受益 很大程度上是因为接触到了利用大量 基因组信息，以提高我们对疾病的理解。 其他 会议包括一些蠕虫研究，如戈登会议， 伍兹霍尔的分子寄生虫学和美国热带病学会 医学和卫生。 除了伍兹霍尔会议外，所有会议的范围都很广。 所有 有一个主要的组成部分，处理原生动物寄生虫;在分子 寄生虫学会议上，99%的论文都是关于原生动物寄生虫的。 的 Keystone Symposium的独特之处在于它使用了完整的信息， C.来深入了解 蠕虫寄生虫的干预和控制目标。 研究 蠕虫寄生虫是代表性不足，部分原因是缺乏一个良好的， 遗传学研究。 C.优雅的方法， 蠕虫研究可能会刺激寄生蠕虫研究的必要进展。 这次会议的目标之一是激励年轻科学家， 未来的方向。

DESCRIPTION: This Keystone Symposium is a one of a kind meeting that focuses on multicellular eukaryotic parasites that are a major cause of morbidity in the world. This will be the third meeting; the last meeting was in 1996. The symposium is designed not just to present the recent findings in the field of molecular helminthology, but also to take advantage of the molecular and genetic systems available from other multicellular eukaryotic worms, such as Caenorhabditis elegans. The task is to integrate the vast knowledge available from C. elegans with that available from parasitic helminths and translate that information into relevant directions in the study of parasitic helminths. Young scientists (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) should benefit greatly from the exposure to approaches that utilize the vast amounts of available genomic information to enhance our understanding of diseases. Other meetings include some helminth studies, such as the Gordon Conference, Molecular Parasitology at Woods Hole, and the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. All but the Woods Hole meeting are broad in scope. All have a major component that deals with protozoan parasites; in the Molecular Parasitology meeting, 99% of the papers are about protozoan parasites. The Keystone Symposium is unique in that it uses information such as the complete genome sequence from C. elegans to gain insights into pathways that will be targets for intervention and control of helminth parasites. Research on helminth parasites is underrepresented, in part due to a lack of a good genetic system for study. The integration of the C. elegans approach to helminth research may spur needed advances in parasitic helminth research. Among this conference's goals is to inspire young scientists who will set the direction for the future.
