DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The XIXth North American Testes Workshop will be held from April 18th - 21st in Tampa, Florida. The venue will be the Hyatt Regency and the meeting will occur for the third time under sponsorship of the American Society of Andrology (ASA). The first Testes Workshop was held in 1972 and since then it has become established as an investigator-initiated meeting that brings together leading investigators in testes biology. Over the past thirty-four years, attendance of the Workshop has grown and now typically attracts 250 to 300 attendees. Increasingly, the Workshop is viewed as an essential conference for trainees as evidenced by the fact that postgraduate students and postdocs - both M.D.s and Ph.D.s - make up a significant portion of the attendees. The Testes Workshop fosters vibrant communication and scientific exchange, which creates excellent opportunities for collaboration with peers and ultimately career and scientific growth ensuring that the field of testes biology will continue to advance in the future. The Workshop also attracts scientists from outside the United States as program organizers, attendees and speakers. This meeting has a long-standing tradition of recruiting several speakers from other areas of science, outside the immediate confines of male reproduction, to facilitate creative approaches to scientific problem solving. The cross-disciplinary dialogues have become one of the Workshop's main attractions. While the 2007 Workshop has the broad theme of "Chromosome structure and gene expression," it has been organized into five sessions: Sex chromosomes and genomics; Germ-line stem cells; Regulation of gene expression; Testicular somatic cells; and Testicular pathologies. Each of the two full days of the meeting will have three, 15-minute oral presentations that will be selected from abstracts submitted for presentation at the Workshop. This component was added for the first time to the 2003 Workshop, and is designed to bring reports on breaking developments to the program. Two poster sessions are also scheduled, which will be reviewed by members of the Organizing Committee.

描述（由申请人提供）：第十九届北美睾丸研讨会将于4月18日至21日在佛罗里达的坦帕举行。地点将是凯悦酒店，会议将在美国男科学会（阿萨）的赞助下第三次举行。第一届睾丸研讨会于1972年举行，从那时起，它已成为一个由研究者发起的会议，汇集了睾丸生物学领域的领先研究者。在过去的34年里，参加讲习班的人数不断增加，现在通常吸引250至300名与会者。越来越多的研讨会被视为学员的重要会议，这一事实证明，研究生和博士后-医学博士和博士-占与会者的很大一部分。睾丸研讨会促进了充满活力的沟通和科学交流，为与同行的合作创造了极好的机会，并最终确保睾丸生物学领域在未来继续发展。该研讨会还吸引了来自美国以外的科学家作为项目组织者，与会者和演讲者。本次会议有一个长期的传统，即从男性生殖的直接范围之外的其他科学领域招募几位演讲者，以促进创造性的方法来解决科学问题。跨学科对话已成为讲习班的主要吸引力之一。2007年讲习班的广泛主题是“染色体结构和基因表达”，但分为五个部分：性染色体和基因组学;生殖系干细胞;基因表达的调节;睾丸体细胞;睾丸病理学。在为期两整天的会议中，每天将有三次15分钟的口头专题介绍，这些专题介绍将从提交讲习班的摘要中选出。这一部分是2003年讲习班首次增加的，旨在为该计划带来关于突破性发展的报告。还安排了两次海报会议，由组织委员会成员审查。
