DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 2006 Rachmiel Levine Symposium Each year, the Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at the City of Hope National Medical Center holds an annual diabetes symposium entitled, "Advances in Diabetes Research: From Cell Biology to Cell Therapy," in the memory of the late Rachmiel Levine, the scientist responsible for clarifying the nature of insulin action. In prior years, the Levine Symposium program has covered various topics in type 1 and type 2 diabetes research with nearly 400 scientists and physicians attending the meeting from 22 countries and 30 U.S. states. The 2006 Rachmiel Levine Symposium will be held on November 8-11, 2006 at the Hilton Long Beach in Long Beach, California, and it will be fully dedicated to new advances in type 1 diabetes and will provide cutting-edge presentations, review the latest research observations, and provide insight into future research directions. The program will cover the following topics: fetal pancreatic development, fetal/stem cell generation of islets, beta cell expansion and differentiation, new insight in islet function, immunological approaches for treatment of type 1 diabetes, advances in islet transplantation technologies, in vivo islet imaging, clinical islet transplantation, and tolerance induction for allogenic islet transplantation. In addition to covering a wide range of type 1 diabetes and islet transplantation topics, the program will also feature oral presentations and a poster session for young investigators, panel discussions by experts and leaders, and a keynote dinner presentation. Rachmiel Levine Scientific Achievement Grants will also be made available to the top presenting young investigators to encourage their career growth. This year's meeting is expected to attract well-established scientists, endocrinologists, diabetologists, islet biologists, stem cell and gene transfer scientists, transplant scientists, immunologists, cell biologists, young investigators in all these areas, and health care professionals who manage patients with diabetes, from both the U.S. and abroad. This application is being submitted to request educational grant funding for the 2006 Rachmiel Levine Symposium to help support the attendance of a group of young investigators and help foster the development of their academic careers. Funds will be used to reduce registration and travel costs for fellows and trainees and to cover the cost of Scientific Achievement Awards. 2006 Rachmiel Levine Symposium The 7th Annual Rachmiel Levine Symposium will meet a growing demand by offering a comprehensive review and updates on many aspects of islet development and functional biology, new islet generation from embryonic and adult stem cells, islet cell expansion, islet imaging, new technologies and clinical outcomes in islet transplantation, and immune tolerance induction towards all transplanted islets for treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes. The symposium will be an invaluable source of knowledge for the scientific and medical communities and will promote interactions and collaborations among young scientists and established leaders.

描述(由申请人提供)： 2006年Rachmiel Levine研讨会每年，希望城国家医学中心的糖尿病、内分泌学和代谢部都会举办一年一度的糖尿病研讨会，题为“糖尿病研究进展：从细胞生物学到细胞疗法”，以纪念已故的负责阐明胰岛素作用性质的科学家Rachmiel Levine。前几年，莱文研讨会项目涵盖了1型和2型糖尿病研究的各种主题，来自22个国家和30个美国州的近400名科学家和医生参加了会议。2006年Rachmiel Levine研讨会将于2006年11月8日至11日在加利福尼亚州长滩的希尔顿长滩举行，它将完全致力于1型糖尿病的新进展，并将提供尖端演讲，回顾最新的研究观察，并对未来的研究方向提供见解。该计划将涵盖以下主题：胎儿胰腺发育、胰岛胎儿/干细胞的生成、β细胞的扩增和分化、对胰岛功能的新见解、治疗1型糖尿病的免疫学方法、胰岛移植技术的进展、活体胰岛成像、临床胰岛移植以及同种异体胰岛移植的耐受诱导。除了涵盖范围广泛的1型糖尿病和胰岛移植主题外，该计划还将包括针对年轻研究人员的口头陈述和海报会议，专家和领导人的小组讨论，以及主旨晚宴陈述。Rachmiel Levine科学成就补助金也将发放给顶尖的年轻研究人员，以鼓励他们的职业发展。今年的会议预计将吸引来自美国和国外的知名科学家、内分泌学家、糖尿病专家、胰岛生物学家、干细胞和基因转移科学家、移植科学家、免疫学家、细胞生物学家、所有这些领域的年轻研究人员以及管理糖尿病患者的卫生保健专业人员。本申请是为2006年Rachmiel Levine研讨会申请教育补助金，以帮助支持一批年轻研究人员的出席，并帮助促进他们的学术事业发展。资金将用于减少研究员和受训人员的注册和旅费，并用于支付科学成就奖的费用。2006年Rachmiel Levine研讨会第七届年度Rachmiel Levine研讨会将满足日益增长的需求，对胰岛发育和功能生物学的许多方面、胚胎和成人干细胞的新胰岛生成、胰岛细胞扩增、胰岛成像、胰岛移植的新技术和临床结果以及用于治疗1型糖尿病患者的所有移植胰岛的免疫耐受诱导进行全面回顾和更新。研讨会将是科学界和医学界的宝贵知识来源，并将促进青年科学家和知名领导人之间的互动和合作。
