Periodontal Host-Pathogen Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是确保资金，以支持学生旅行，并为出版的程序，一个研讨会，将荣誉最突出和最有成就的牙周研究人员之一，罗伯特J. Genco。很明显，很少有人比根科博士对我们目前的牙周病学知识做出更大的贡献，他最近辞去了布法罗大学口腔生物学系主任的职务。本次会议的目标有三个方面：1）荣誉罗伯特·根科博士在牙周病学领域的成就和影响，并承认他管理了25年以上的布法罗口腔生物学培训计划的成功; 2）汇集牙周病学领域的专家，审查该领域的最新技术，重点是病因学，牙周感染和炎症对全身性疾病的发病机制和影响：3）收集参与者的演讲概述，发表在《牙科研究进展》上。这些会议将作为最终文件，以总结国家的最先进的牙周发病机制，风险评估和牙周医学到2004年。 这次会议将在纽约州布法罗的凯悦酒店举行。2004年9月10日至12日。会议将分为6个部分，每个部分有3至4名发言人，每人将发表25至30分钟的演讲。是次研讨会的主要议题包括牙周病的发病机制、牙周病的危险因素、牙周病对糖尿病的全身影响、心血管疾病、妇女健康、呼吸系统疾病及风湿性关节炎。几个会议还将包括一个医生“反应”谁将提供反应的会谈期间给予会议。此外，将在茶歇、用餐和招待会期间观看海报。我们将提供有限数量的旅费赠款给几个研究生或博士后研究员海报谁需要这样的支持。

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.
