DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2007 "Research Conference in Recent Advances in Otitis Media", to be held on June 7-8, in St. Pete Beach, Fl will be the ninth of a series of quadrennial conferences co-sponsored by the House Ear Institute, the Department of Otolaryngology of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and funded by the NIDCD. The purpose of these conferences has been to advance our knowledge and to facilitate progress in biomedical research through the exchange of current findings and advancements related to otitis media (OM), and the molecular mechanisms underlying the etiology of this disorder. OM research is a rapidly expanding field that is beginning to encompass a wide variety of disciplines, particularly genetics, microbiology, immunology, molecular biology and vaccinology. Research into the role of innate immunity, Toll-like receptors, signaling pathways, and biofilms will undoubtedly produce results that may have important translational research and clinical applications. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the OM research field, these conferences provide a venue for the exchange of information that will ultimately lead to the understanding of this disease at the molecular level and pave the way for the rapid development of treatment options and vaccines for OM. Scientific contributions at previous conferences have come from such disciplines as epidemiology, microbiology of OM pathogens, immunology, molecular and cellular pathogenesis, animal models, and vaccine development. The ninth research conference (and symposium) holds promise into delivering a similar level of interaction with various multidisciplinary groups and introducing new and emerging areas of research. The hallmark of the previous eight conferences has been their ability to draw together the disciplines and specialties essential to the advancement of the field and understanding OM. Another point that these conferences have in common is that they continuously attract young investigators from such varied fields as microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, immunology, epidemiology, etc - a critical factor, considering that any expectations in managing and treating OM will undoubtedly come through a concerted and multidisciplinary effort.

描述（由申请人提供）：2007年的“耳炎媒体最新进展研究会议”将于6月7日至8日在佛罗里达州圣彼得海滩举行，将是由匹兹堡大学医学中心和基金会的nimolaryngology of House Ear Institute共同赞助的Quadrennial Chorences，由House Ear Ear Institute共同赞助。这些会议的目的是通过交换与中耳炎（OM）有关的当前发现和进步以及这种疾病病因的分子机制来提高我们的知识并促进生物医学研究的进步。 OM研究是一个快速扩展的领域，开始涵盖各种各样的学科，尤其是遗传学，微生物学，免疫学，分子生物学和疫苗学。对先天免疫力，类似收费的受体，信号通路和生物膜的作用的研究无疑会产生可能具有重要转化研究和临床应用的结果。 由于OM研究领域的多学科性质，这些会议为信息提供了一个场所，最终将导致分子水平上对该疾病的理解，并为快速开发OM的治疗选择和疫苗铺平道路。先前会议的科学贡献来自流行病学，OM病原体的微生物学，免疫学，分子和细胞发病机理，动物模型和疫苗发育等学科。第九届研究会议（和研讨会）有望与各种多学科小组进行类似水平的互动，并引入新的和新兴的研究领域。前八个会议的标志是他们有能力将学科和专业融合在一起，这对于进步和理解OM的发展至关重要。这些会议的共同点是，它们不断吸引来自微生物学，分子和细胞生物学，免疫学，流行病学等各种领域的年轻研究者，这是一个关键因素，考虑到任何对管理和治疗OM的期望无疑都会通过一致和多学科的努力进行。
