DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2004 Vanderbilt Conference on "Frontiers in Addiction Biology: Genomics and Beyond" will provide cutting-edge research in the context of a didactic environment to prepare trainees in the scientific community (pre- and post-doctoral trainees, medical students, physician-scientists and faculty at the outset of their careers, as well as, senior faculty whose training to date has not prepared them for the post-genome era) to take advantage of the wealth of data produced by the unfolding human and other genomes. A major goal of the meeting is to bring together world leaders in molecular, cellular and genetic research on addiction with trainees and junior investigators in the field of drug abuse research as well as related fields. The emphasis on young investigators is a novel feature of our conference and we believe it will be valuable to the drug abuse community. The local planning committee includes faculty from Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College and Tennessee State University. The meeting program consists of platform lectures and workshops that focus on basic research at the genetic, molecular and cellular level and link these findings to human genomic and environmental factors that influence vulnerability and risk. The list of committed platform speakers and session leaders represents an extraordinary group of leaders in drug abuse research. By providing an intimate and relaxed, yet professional, environment for creative thought and discussion, Vanderbilt University strives to encourage investigators to harness the wealth of new technologies and data generated by wide-ranging genetic and basic neuroscience research for understanding the addicted brain. The meeting should advance the drug abuse research agenda by fostering creativity and innovation. Trainees who may not have developed an appreciation for the promise and opportunities of addiction research will be inspired and invigorated by the exchange of ideas with the scientific leaders in the field.

描述（由申请人提供）： 2004年范德比尔特关于“成瘾生物学前沿：基因组学和超越”将在教学环境中提供尖端研究，为科学界的学员做好准备（博士前和博士后学员，医学生，医生-科学家和教师在他们的职业生涯开始，以及，高级教员，他们迄今为止所受的训练还没有为后基因组时代做好准备），以利用人类和其他基因组的发展所产生的丰富数据。会议的一个主要目标是使世界上有关成瘾的分子、细胞和遗传研究的领导人与药物滥用研究领域及有关领域的受训人员和初级调查人员聚集一堂。强调年轻的研究人员是我们会议的一个新特点，我们相信这对药物滥用社区是有价值的。 当地规划委员会包括来自范德比尔特大学、梅哈里医学院和田纳西州立大学的教师。会议计划包括平台讲座和研讨会，重点是遗传，分子和细胞水平的基础研究，并将这些研究结果与影响脆弱性和风险的人类基因组和环境因素联系起来。承诺的平台发言人和会议领导人名单代表了药物滥用研究领域的一个非凡的领导群体。通过为创造性思维和讨论提供一个亲密而轻松但专业的环境，范德比尔特大学努力鼓励研究人员利用广泛的遗传和基础神经科学研究产生的新技术和数据来了解成瘾的大脑。会议应通过促进创造性和创新来推进药物滥用研究议程。学员谁可能还没有开发的承诺和成瘾研究的机会赞赏将通过与该领域的科学领导人的思想交流的启发和启发。
