DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NIH/NIGMS Center for Innovative Wound Healing Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago seeks support for its first annual symposium, entitled "Fibrosis and Scarring". This one day symposium will be held on May 16, 2008 on the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) campus. This symposium is intended to be the first in an annual series each of which will highlight a particular aspect of the wound healing process and present the latest research findings in that area. Scarring and fibrosis is a critical public health problem which affects millions of persons, and this conference seeks to explore the commonality among fibrotic processes in various tissues. Three sessions are planned which highlight emerging concepts in fibrosis and scar formation: 1) Cellular Plasticity and Cross-talk, 2) Bioengineering and Prevention of Fibrotic Responses, and 3) Fibrosis and Scar Formation in Skin. The combination of speakers and topics has been selected with the specific intention of stimulating new ideas and collaborations in the field of tissue fibrosis and scar formation. The session speakers will be asked to emphasize novel unpublished results, and significant time for discussion is included in the program. In addition to invited speakers, a poster session will give students and fellows the opportunity to present research findings and to discuss their results with other scientists and clinicians. The symposium seeks to bring together individuals and students in accordance with the mission of the NIH designated Center for Innovative Wound Healing Research as a facilitator of multidisciplinary and translational research in wound healing. Since this is the inaugural symposium of the Center, this meeting will also serve to introduce the Center and its resources to many students and professionals from other medical/research facilities in the Midwest and beyond. Participation by young scientists and underrepresented minorities will be encouraged, and scholarships to support their involvement will be offered. Support of this program will assure that the meeting will include top-level scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的NIH/NIGMS创新伤口愈合研究中心寻求支持其第一次年度研讨会，标题为“纤维化和疤痕”。这一天研讨会将于2008年5月16日在伊利诺伊大学（UIC）校园举行。该研讨会旨在是年度系列中的第一个，每个系列都将突出伤口愈合过程的特定方面，并在该领域介绍最新的研究结果。疤痕和纤维化是影响数百万人的关键公共卫生问题，该会议试图探索各种组织中纤维化过程之间的共同点。计划了三个课程，这些课程突出了纤维化和疤痕形成中的新兴概念：1）细胞可塑性和串扰，2）生物工程和预防纤维化反应，以及3）皮肤中纤维化和疤痕形成。已经选择了说话者和主题的组合，其特定意图是刺激组织纤维化和疤痕形成领域的新思想和协作。会议演讲者将被要求强调新颖的未发表的结果，并将大量讨论时间包括在计划中。除了被邀请的演讲者外，海报会议还将为学生和研究员提供机会提出研究结果，并与其他科学家和临床医生讨论他们的结果。该研讨会旨在根据NIH指定的创新伤口愈合研究中心的任务将个人和学生召集在一起，以此作为伤口愈合中多学科和翻译研究的促进者。由于这是该中心的就职研讨会，因此本次会议还将为中西部及其他地区其他医学/研究设施的许多学生和专业人员介绍该中心及其资源。将鼓励年轻科学家和代表性不足的少数民族参与，并提供支持他们参与的奖学金。该计划的支持将确保会议将包括顶级科学家。
