Student Travel Support for Regenerate 2005

描述（申请人提供）：现在是第五个年头，再生2005年，一个国际会议和博览会，是由匹兹堡组织工程研究所（PTEI），格鲁吉亚理工学院/埃默里中心的活组织工程（GTEC），和维克森林再生医学研究所领导的合作努力，在努力团结组织工程/再生医学社区内的领导者，以开发和提供，每年的基础上，一个总理的教育计划。它是由华盛顿大学共同主办的，该大学是2004年再生会议的主办机构。提交这项提案的目的是为大约50名研究生和博士后研究员提供参加会议的旅费，其中包括HBCU的学生。 2005年再生会议将于2005年6月1日至3日在佐治亚州亚特兰大市举行，由GTEC和格鲁吉亚理工学院主办，罗伯特M。Nerem作为会议的总主席，Robert E.古德伯格担任科学计划委员会主席。 再生2005年结合了一个优秀的科学计划与行业为重点的贸易展，汇集了基础科学家，临床医生，学生，商界领袖，企业家和政府机构的代表，以推进组织工程/再生医学科学和促进互动，可能更快地导致新技术，使世界各地的患者受益。随着组织工程和再生医学的重点，该计划的核心轨道将包括细胞技术，生物材料，构建技术，融入生命系统，心血管应用，整形外科应用，神经应用，皮肤和伤口愈合，泌尿和软组织，代谢和分泌器官。此外，两个小组讨论将集中在与临床试验和干细胞的使用相关的翻译问题。6月1日将举行两个平行论坛：ETC（工程组织生长）执行论坛将提供一个会议，重点是将研究创新从实验室带到临床。第二个论坛将是干细胞研讨会，重点是干细胞研究的进展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Now in its fifth year, Regenerate 2005, an international conference and exposition, is a collaborative effort led by the Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Institute (PTEI), the Georgia Tech/Emory Center for the Engineering of Living Tissues (GTEC), and the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, in an effort to unite the leaders within the tissue engineering/regenerative medicine communities to develop and offer, on an annual basis, a premier educational program. It is being co-sponsored by the University of Washington, the institutional host of the Regenerate 2004 meeting. This proposal is being submitted to provide travel expenses for approximately 50 graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to attend the meeting, including students from HBCUs. The 2005 Regenerate meeting will be held in Atlanta, GA on June 1 - 3, 2005 and will be hosted by GTEC and the Georgia Institute of Technology with Dr. Robert M. Nerem as the overall chair of the meeting and Dr. Robert E. Guldberg as the chair of the scientific program committee. Regenerate 2005 combines an outstanding scientific program with an industry-focused trade show, bringing together basic scientists, clinicians, students, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and representatives of government agencies to advance the science of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine and foster interactions that may more rapidly result in hew technologies to benefit patients worldwide. With a focus on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, core tracks for the program will include cell technologies, biomaterials, construct technologies, integration into living systems, cardiovascular applications, orthopaedic applications, neural applications, skin and would healing, urinary and soft tissue, and metabolic and secretory organs. In addition, two panel discussions will focus on translational issues associated with clinical trials and the use of stem cells. June 1 will feature two parallel forums: the ETC (Engineering Tissue Growth) Executive Forum will provide a meeting focused on taking research innovations from the laboratory to the clinic. The second forum will be a Stem Cell Workshop focused on advances in stem cell research.
