DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A conference is proposed to provide a cross-disciplinary forum for exchange of scientific data, ideas and future plans for investigators developing and using aquatic animal models for study of human disease. The proposed program includes scientific presentations in several key fields, technical workshops and resource workshops to be held at the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) in Manassas, Virginia. The participants in the meeting will represent a wide range of scientific disciplines including genetics/genomics, carcinogenesis, transgenesis, toxicology, infectious diseases, aging and neurological disorders. These scientists typically attend research conferences, which focus exclusively on the specific themes related to their own research disciplines. Thus, one of the primary goals of the scientific presentations will be to communicate recent discoveries from diverse fields that participants would not encounter in the specialized conferences that they would typically attend. Technical workshops will provide an introduction and organized discussion of technologies currently under development in aquatic animal models. Resource workshops will focus on several themes central to the development and support of resources critical to the advancement of these animal model systems. The overarching theme of this meeting will be the development of the unique attributes of aquatic animal model systems as important resources for the study of pathological, genetic and physiological processes directly applicable to understanding human disease processes. The investigators strongly believe the forum provided by this type of interdisciplinary meeting is unique and is critical to the advancement of these diverse model systems as useful resources for the biomedical research community.

描述(由申请人提供)： 建议召开一次会议，为研究人员开发和使用水生动物模型研究人类疾病提供一个跨学科的论坛，交流科学数据、想法和未来计划。拟议的计划包括几个关键领域的科学报告、技术研讨会和资源研讨会，这些研讨会将在弗吉尼亚州马纳萨斯的美国模式培养馆(ATCC)举行。与会者将代表广泛的科学学科，包括遗传学/基因组学、癌症发生学、转基因、毒理学、传染病、衰老和神经疾病。这些科学家通常参加研究会议，这些会议只关注与他们自己的研究学科相关的特定主题。因此，科学报告的主要目标之一将是交流参与者在他们通常参加的专门会议上不会遇到的来自不同领域的最新发现。技术讲习班将介绍目前正在开发的水生动物模型技术，并进行有组织的讨论。资源讲习班将侧重于几个主题，这些主题对于开发和支持对推进这些动物模型系统至关重要的资源至关重要。 本次会议的主要主题将是发展水生动物模型系统的独特属性，将其作为研究直接适用于理解人类疾病过程的病理、遗传和生理过程的重要资源。研究人员坚信，这种跨学科会议提供的论坛是独一无二的，对于推动这些不同的模型系统成为生物医学研究社区的有用资源至关重要。
