DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Each year the Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at City of Hope National Medical Center holds an annual diabetes and obesity symposium in the memory of the late Rachmiel Levine, the scientist responsible for clarifying the nature of insulin action. This year's meeting is entitled "Advances in Diabetes Research: From Cell Biology to Cell Therapy" and is designed to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation on the latest developments and technological improvements in diabetes basic science and clinical research. The program will cover a wide range of topics including genetics of type 2 diabetes, insulin secretion, islet cell function, aging and diabetes, pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications, stem cell and beta cell development, beta cell regulation, clinical islet transplantation, immune suppression and tolerance in islet transplantation, and new technologies in diabetes research. The meeting is expected to attract participants from diverse backgrounds, including well-established and young scientists, endocrinologists, diabetologists, islet biologists, stem cell and gene transfer scientists, transplant surgeons, and health care professionals who manage patients with diabetes, from both the U.S. and abroad. In prior years, the Levine Symposium has attracted over 300 attendees, however due to the magnitude of the topic at hand and the positive response from prior symposia, this year's program is expected to attract a larger number of attendees. The 2004 Rachmiel Levine Symposium will be held on October 6-9, 2004 at the Renaissance Los Angeles Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. In addition to covering a wide range of type 1 and type 2 diabetes topics several other features will be incorporated into this year's program, such as: a. A poster session on the evening of day 2 for young and established investigators to present new and exciting data. A travel grant will be made available to the top presenting young investigators to encourage their careers. b. Organizing oral presentation sessions to allow for select members of young investigators to present their data. This application is being submitted to request educational grant funding for the 2004 Rachmiel Levine Symposium in Diabetes to help support the attendance of a group of young investigators and foster the development of their academic careers.

描述（由申请人提供）： 每年，希望之城国家医疗中心的糖尿病、内分泌和代谢科都会举办一年一度的糖尿病和肥胖研讨会，以纪念已故的Rachmiel Levine，他是负责澄清胰岛素作用本质的科学家。今年的会议主题为“糖尿病研究进展：从细胞生物学到细胞治疗”，旨在全面介绍糖尿病基础科学和临床研究的最新发展和技术进步。该计划将涵盖广泛的主题，包括2型糖尿病的遗传学，胰岛素分泌，胰岛细胞功能，衰老和糖尿病，糖尿病及其并发症的病理生理学，干细胞和β细胞发育，β细胞调节，临床胰岛移植，胰岛移植中的免疫抑制和耐受，以及糖尿病研究的新技术。 会议预计将吸引来自不同背景的参与者，包括成熟和年轻的科学家，内分泌学家，糖尿病学家，胰岛生物学家，干细胞和基因转移科学家，移植外科医生以及管理糖尿病患者的医疗保健专业人员，来自美国和国外。在前几年，莱文研讨会吸引了300多名与会者，但由于手头的主题和积极的反应，从以前的研讨会，今年的计划预计将吸引更多的与会者。 2004年拉赫米尔·莱文研讨会将于2004年10月6日至9日在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的文艺复兴洛杉矶酒店举行。除了涵盖广泛的1型和2型糖尿病主题外，今年的计划还将纳入其他几个特点，例如： a.第2天晚上的海报会议，年轻和成熟的研究人员展示新的和令人兴奋的数据。将向最优秀的年轻调查员提供旅费赠款，以鼓励他们的职业生涯。 B.组织口头介绍会，让年轻调查员中的一些成员介绍他们的数据。 提交本申请是为了请求为2004年Rachmiel Levine糖尿病研讨会提供教育补助金，以帮助支持一组年轻研究人员的出席，并促进他们学术生涯的发展。
