DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are currently in the midst of a genetics revolution that promises to push "breakthrough" biomedical research to new levels. A large part of this revolution depends upon the analysis of the relationships between genes and their effects on complex biological systems and phenotypes. Investigators must become increasingly skilled in the application of genetic models to address a variety of important biological questions. It is therefore the overall objective of this established meeting series to bring together investigators working to develop and exploit inbred strains of laboratory animals to gain better understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and the complications common to both. The 9th convocation of this international workshop will be entitled: "New Genetic and Metabolic Insights into Animal Models of Diabetes". This meeting provides a unique opportunity for established investigators and investigators entering the field to interact and learn. One of the most important objectives of the workshop will be to bring new models of diabetic complications to the attention of the diabetes research community and to facilitate distribution of such models. An important outcome of any LAD (Lessons from Animal Diabetes) meeting is to promote international cooperation and open distribution of essential animal models for diabetes research. The meeting will convene over a period of 3-4 days, June 17-20, 2003 in Bar Harbor, Maine under the aegis of The Jackson Laboratory's Courses and Conferences department. The meeting is planned for 200 participants. Because of limited seating capacity in The Jackson Laboratory's auditorium, the meeting venue will be the Bar Harbor Regency Hotel, where participants will be housed and fed.

描述(由申请人提供)： 我们目前正处于一场遗传学革命之中，这场革命有望将“突破性”生物医学研究推向新的水平。这场革命在很大程度上依赖于对基因之间的关系及其对复杂生物系统和表型的影响的分析。研究人员必须越来越熟练地应用遗传模型来解决各种重要的生物学问题。因此，这一既定会议系列的总体目标是将致力于开发和利用近交系实验动物的研究人员聚集在一起，以更好地了解1型糖尿病(T1D)、2型糖尿病(T2D)的病因、病理生理学和治疗，以及两者共同的并发症。这一国际研讨会的第9次会议将题为“糖尿病动物模型的新遗传学和新陈代谢洞察”。这次会议为老牌调查人员和进入该领域的调查人员提供了一个互动和学习的独特机会。研讨会最重要的目标之一将是使糖尿病并发症的新模型引起糖尿病研究界的注意，并促进这种模型的分发。任何LAD(动物糖尿病的教训)会议的一个重要成果是促进糖尿病研究的基本动物模型的国际合作和公开分发。会议将于2003年6月17日至20日在缅因州巴尔港举行，为期3-4天，由杰克逊实验室课程和会议部门主持。会议计划有200人参加。由于杰克逊实验室礼堂的座位有限，会议地点将设在巴尔港摄政酒店，与会者将在那里住宿和吃饭。
