Sixth International Respiratory Syncytial Virus Symposium

这是一个应用程序，以提供支持的综合性国际研讨会 呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）是一种重要的人类呼吸道病原体 它会给婴幼儿和老年人带来严重的急性疾病， 免疫力低下的成年人。这是一种目前没有许可证的病原体 疫苗和一种抗病毒药物。研讨会旨在汇集 RSV研究和相关主题的国际专家，讨论的主题包括 病毒的基本细胞和分子生物学以及宿主对流行病学的反应， 人类疾病表达的模式以及当前和未来的预防和 RSV感染的治疗方法。研讨会的另一个目标是 支持和促进博士前和博士后研究员在RSV研究方面的培训 通过在会议上的口头和海报介绍，并通过青年 为出席专题讨论会提供研究员研究金。此外，座谈会 组织者积极支持工业界代表的参与， 政府的本次研讨会-RSV 2007-将于10月15日至16日在北京举行，为期3.5天。 25日至28日，2007年在马可岛佛罗里达，是唯一的科学会议专门致力于 RSV的主题，是独一无二的，因为它汇集了基础科学家，流行病学家， 临床研究人员和执业医师在一个单一的地点。

This is an application to provide support for a comprehensive international symposium on Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). RSV is an important human respiratory pathogen which produces severe acute illness in infants and young children as well as elderly and immunocompromised adults. It is a pathogen for which there are no current licensed vaccines and only one antiviral agent. The symposium is designed to bring together international experts in RSV research and related topics to discuss topics ranging from the basic cell and molecular biology of the virus and the host response to epidemiology, patterns of disease expression in the human and current and future preventative and therapeutic approaches to RSV infection. A companion aim of the symposium is to support and foster training in RSV research by predoctoral and post doctoral fellows through oral and poster presentations at the meeting and through the support of junior investigator fellowships for travel to the symposium. In addition, the symposium organizers actively support the participation of representatives from industry and government. This symposium-RSV 2007-which will be held over 3.5 days from October 25th-28, 2007 at Marco Island Florida, is the only scientific meeting devoted solely to the topic of RSV and is unique in that it brings together basic scientists, epidemiologists, clinical researchers and practicing physicians in a single venue.
