Periodontal Host-Pathogen Conference

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请的目的是获得资金，以支持学生参加一个研讨会，并发表会议记录，该研讨会将向最著名和最有成就的牙周研究人员之一罗伯特·J·根科致敬。很明显，没有几个人像根科博士那样，对我们目前的牙周学知识做出了如此巨大的贡献，他最近辞去了布法罗大学口腔生物学系主任一职。这次会议的目的有三个：1)表彰Robert Genco博士在牙周学领域取得的成就和影响，并承认他管理超过25年的水牛口腔生物学培训计划的成功；2)召集牙周学领域的专家审查该领域的最新进展，重点是牙周感染和炎症对系统性疾病的病因、发病机制和影响：3)收集与会者发言的概述，以便在牙科研究进展中发表。这些会议记录将成为总结2004年牙周发病机制、风险评估和牙周医学最新进展的权威文件。 本次会议将于2004年9月10日至12日在纽约州布法罗市凯悦酒店举行。它将被安排为6个会议，每个会议有3到4个发言者，每个演讲时间为25到30分钟。本次研讨会的主要议题包括牙周发病机制、牙周病的危险因素、影响糖尿病、心血管疾病、妇女健康、呼吸系统疾病和类风湿性关节炎的牙周病的全身影响。几次会议还将包括一名医生“响应者”，他将对会议期间的演讲做出反应。此外，还将在咖啡休息时间、用餐时间和招待会期间观看海报。我们将向几位需要此类支持的研究生或博士后伙伴海报演示者提供有限数量的旅行补助。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the present application is to secure funding to support student travel to, and for publication of the proceedings of, a symposium that will honor one of the most prominent and accomplished periodontal researchers, Robert J. Genco. It is clear that few individuals have made more numerous contributions to our present knowledge of periodontology than Dr. Genco, who has recently stepped down as chair of the Department of Oral Biology at the University at Buffalo. The objectives of this meeting are three-fold: 1) to honor the accomplishments and influence of Dr. Robert Genco in the field of periodontology and to acknowledge the success of the Buffalo Oral Biology Training Program that he administered for over 25 years; 2) to bring together experts in the field of periodontology to review the state-of-the-art of the field, with emphasis on the etiology, pathogenesis and impact of periodontal infection and inflammation on systemic disease: 3) to assemble overviews of the participant's presentations for publication in Advances in Dental Research. These proceedings will serve as the definitive document to summarize the state-of-the-art of periodontal pathogenesis, risk assessment and periodontal medicine through 2004. This meeting will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Buffalo, N.Y. from September 10-12, 2004. It will be organized as 6 sessions, each with 3 to 4 speakers who will give presentations of 25 to 30 minutes each. The major topics covered by this symposium are periodontal pathogenesis, risk factors for periodontal disease, systemic effects of periodontal disease as it effects diabetes, cardiovascular disease, women's health, respiratory disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Several sessions will also include a physician "responder" who will provide reaction to the talks given during the session. In addition, posters that will be viewed during coffee breaks, meals and receptions. We will offer a limited number of travel grants to several graduate student or post-doctoral fellow poster presenters who have need for such support.
