DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Swine in Biomedical Research Conference is a conference that addresses the biomedical community's needs to develop and utilize swine models for the study of human health and disease. This meeting is the only conference that focuses exclusively on swine models and as such it is the premier meeting for investigators who use or develop swine as models for biomedical research. The last Swine in Biomedical Research Conference was in Chicago in 2005. Since then, swine models of human health and diseases have become increasing recognized and utilized in biomedical research as researchers recognize the limitations of other animals and the close relationship of the pig genome and physiology to that of humans. In addition, the recent technical advancements that allow creation of new genetically-modified swine models have further escalated the relevance and importance of pig models for human diseases. Recent studies have also provided data demonstrating the potential for pig organs and tissues for transplantation into humans, alleviating the enormous shortage of human organs needed for transplantation and potentially saving thousands of human lives and improving the quality of life for millions. The goals of the conference are to bring together individuals who are utilizing swine as models, individuals who are creating new swine models, and individuals who are studying human and health and disease who may benefit from the use of swine models. This conference is structured to maximize opportunities for these scientists to interact, share information, and develop collaborations that will advance biomedical research and ultimately benefit human health. Swine are important animal models for human health and disease research and swine have the potential to be a source of critically needed organs for human transplantation. This proposal requests partial support for the 2008 Swine in Biomedical Research Conference, the only conference that focuses exclusively on swine models. As such it is the premier meeting in the field and it will provide unique opportunities for sharing information among investigators and establishing collaborations that will ultimately benefit human health.

描述(由申请者提供)：猪在生物医学研究会议是一个会议，旨在解决生物医学界开发和利用猪模型来研究人类健康和疾病的需要。这次会议是唯一一次专门关注猪模型的会议，因此它是使用或开发猪作为生物医学研究模型的研究人员的首要会议。上一次猪的生物医学研究会议是2005年在芝加哥举行的。从那时起，随着研究人员认识到其他动物的局限性以及猪基因组和生理与人类的密切关系，猪的人类健康和疾病模型得到了越来越多的认可和在生物医学研究中的应用。此外，最近允许创建新的转基因猪模型的技术进步进一步提升了猪模型对人类疾病的相关性和重要性。最近的研究还提供了数据，证明了猪器官和组织移植到人类体内的潜力，缓解了移植所需的人体器官的巨大短缺，潜在地挽救了数千人的生命，并提高了数百万人的生活质量。会议的目标是将利用猪作为模型的个人、创造新的猪模型的个人以及研究人类与健康和疾病的个人聚集在一起，这些人可能从使用猪模型中受益。这次会议旨在最大限度地为这些科学家提供互动、共享信息和开展合作的机会，这些合作将促进生物医学研究，并最终造福人类健康。 猪是人类健康和疾病研究的重要动物模型，猪有可能成为人类移植急需的器官的来源。这项提案要求部分支持2008年猪在生物医学研究会议，这是唯一一个专门关注猪模型的会议。因此，这是该领域的首要会议，它将为研究人员之间分享信息和建立最终有益于人类健康的合作提供独特的机会。
