UMKC School of Dentistry Oral and Craniofacial Biology

描述(由申请者提供)：密苏里大学堪萨斯城分校(UMKC)牙科学院将于2006年10月9日至10日举办一场具有里程碑意义的为期两天的会议，题为“口腔和颅面生物学研讨会”。UMKC很荣幸能赞助这次开创性的聚会，因为牙科学校正在认可其在牙科教育领域125年来卓越的悠久历史。研讨会的具体目标是： 1)传播和交流口腔生物学、颅面研究、牙科材料、翻译和临床研究的最新进展。 2)向当地以及来自国内和国际的研究人员、临床医生、实习生和学生传播这一信息。 3)将基础研究人员、翻译研究人员和临床研究人员与临床医生聚集在一起，进行互动和信息交流。 4)继续UMKC牙科学校在牙科教育中领先的目标。 这些目标将如何实现： 1)口腔和颅面生物学领域的国内和国际公认的专家将发言并与研讨会与会者互动。 2)将提供一个论坛，供研究人员在海报会议和口头陈述中展示他们的最新数据。 3)将提供研究人员、临床医生和实习生之间的互动论坛。 4)编写一本包含会议记录和海报摘要的专著。 5)确定并确保来自各种来源的会议支持。 6)确保会议形式有利于信息交流。 7)通过传单和电子邮件向国家和国际牙科机构发布通知和广告，向AADR、IADR、ASBMR、ADEA和ADA等协会传播信息。 8)通过欧洲牙科教育工作者协会等协会向外国调查人员发出通知。 为期两天的活动将包括正式报告、小组和小组讨论、展品、海报演示，以及为与会者提供的几个机会，让他们与出席会议的杰出研究人员见面和交流。对于科学家、临床医生和学生来说，这应该是一个重要的机会，他们可以聚集在一起，第一手听取口腔生物学、牙科生物材料以及翻译和临床研究方面的最新进展和成就。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Dentistry will present a land-mark two day meeting between October 9 and 10, 2006, entitled "Oral and Craniofacial Biology Symposium". UMKC is proud to sponsor this ground-breaking gathering just as the School of Dentistry is recognizing its long history of 125 years of excellence in dental education. Specific Aims for the Symposium: 1) To disseminate and exchange information on the most current advancements in oral biology, craniofacial research, dental materials, and translational and clinical research. 2) To disseminate this information to researchers, clinicians, trainees, and students locally, and from national and international locations. 3) To bring basic, translational, and clinical researchers together with clinicians to interact and exchange information. 4) To continue the UMKC School of Dentistry's goal of leadership in dental education. How these aims will be accomplished: 1) Nationally and internationally recognized experts in the area of oral and craniofacial biology will speak and interact with symposium participants. 2) A forum for researchers to present their latest data in poster sessions and oral presentations will be provided. 3) A forum for interaction between researchers, clinicians, and trainees will be provided. 4) Creation of a monograph containing the meeting proceedings and poster abstracts. 5) Identify and secure meeting support from various sources. 6) Insure that the meeting format is conducive to the exchange of information. 7) Notices and advertising through flyers and email to national and international dental institutions, disseminating information to societies such as the AADR, IADR, ASBMR, ADEA, and ADA. 8) Notices to foreign investigators through associations such as the Association of Dental Educators of Europe, ADEE. The 2-day event will feature formal presentations, small group and panel discussions, exhibits, poster presentations, and several opportunities for attendees to meet and mingle with the preeminent researchers presenting at the conference. This should be a momentous opportunity for scientists, clinicians, and students to come together to hear first-hand the most current advancements and achievements in oral biology, dental biomaterials, and translational and clinical research.
