Vascular Biology and Medicine 2005 and NAVBO Annual Meetings

描述（由申请人提供）： 北美血管生物学组织（NAVBO）的成立是为了满足对基础，翻译和临床研究人员就血管生物学各个方面相关问题进行互动的重点论坛的需求。NAVBO每年举行一次会议，汇集从研究生到高级科学家/临床医生的各级血管生物学研究人员。会议通常包括邀请演讲者的全体会议、选定摘要的口头报告、海报会议和初级研究者报告和竞赛。年会通常被称为血管生物学，通常与另一个包括血管生物学在内的更广泛兴趣的学会联合举行。2005年年会是与血管医学和生物学协会（SVMB）联合举行的，因此今年的主题是血管生物学和医学：从分子到人。这次会议将于2005年6月16日至19日在芝加哥凯悦酒店举行，在芝加哥，IL。2005年血管生物学和医学计划的特点是介绍了与血管功能、信号转导、动脉生成、血管生成、血管组学、分子成像、炎症和血管修复机制有关的前沿研究。这些都是积极的研究领域，与理解和开发新的、更有效的血管疾病治疗方法直接相关。年会的主要目标是：1）促进在血管生物学和疾病相关的不同领域工作的研究人员之间的信息和实验策略的交流; 2）识别和传播有关可以推进血管生物学研究的新技术的信息; 3）促进基础科学发现向转化研究和最终临床应用的过渡; 4）为学生和研究员提供一个论坛，向有鉴别力的观众展示他们的数据，并鼓励他们在该领域的发展。5)使相关领域的研究人员能够会面，并促进他们之间的科学合作。这些目标是2005年会议计划制定的核心，并将继续成为规划未来年会的最重要因素。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The North American Vascular Biology Organization (NAVBO) was created to fill a need for a focused forum for the interaction of basic, translational and clinical investigators working on problems relevant to all aspects of vascular biology. NAVBO holds an annual meeting to bring together investigators working at all levels of Vascular Biology from graduate students to senior scientists/clinicians. The meeting usually is comprised of plenary sessions with invited speakers, oral presentations from selected abstracts, poster sessions and Junior Investigator presentations and competition. The annual meeting is usually called Vascular Biology and is often held jointly with another society that includes vascular biology among their wider interests. The 2005 annual meeting is being held jointly with the Society for Vascular Medicine and Biology (SVMB) and therefore the title this year is Vascular Biology and Medicine: From Molecules to Man. This meeting will be held on June 16-19, 2005 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, in Chicago, IL. The program for Vascular Biology and Medicine 2005 is characterized by the presentation of cutting edge research in areas pertaining to vascular function, signal transduction, arteriogenesis, vasculogenesis, vasculomics, molecular imaging, inflammation and vascular repair mechanisms. These are active areas of investigation that are directly relevant to the understanding and development of novel, more effective therapies for vascular disease. The major goals of the annual meetings are to 1) promote the exchange of information and experimental strategies among investigators working in diverse areas pertinent to vascular biology and disease; 2) to identify and disseminate information about novel technologies that can advance research in vascular biology; 3) enhance the transition of basic science findings to translational studies and ultimately clinical application; 4) provide a forum for students and fellows to present their data to a discriminating audience and encourage their development in the field. 5) to allow investigators in related fields to meet and to promote scientific collaborations among them. These goals were central to the program development of the 2005 meeting and will continue to be the most important factors for planning future annual meetings.
