DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding for the 7th International Conference on Unstable Microsatellites in Human Disease (UMDH7) will be held at Mt. Ste. Odile, near Strasbourg France from June 9-14, 2012. The previous conferences have alternated between North/Central and European sites. UMHD7 will bring together top scientists from around the world to discuss high-impact, interdisciplinary research on Repeat Disorders, almost 40 have now been identified. The objective of the conference is to promote scientific discussion and facilitate interdisciplinary exchange by bringing leading researchers in the field together with a broad range of experts representing; clinicians, diagnosticians, neurobiologists, pathologists, geneticists and molecular biologists. Focusing on the most recent advances in the field, the specific aims of the conference are: 1) To enhance the open exchange of information related to repeat expansion diseases. This is one of the few opportunities members of different fields have to attend a conference that represents all of the repeat disorders. 2) To foster stimulation and initiation of global collaborative research to advance our understanding of human diseases related to repeat instability. The UMHD series has a proven track record of successful exchange and collaboration and has encouraged breakthrough research. 3) To provide junior investigators with an opportunity to present their work and interact with leading scientists in multiple and diverse fields. We aim to attract the best young minds using a well thought out and comprehensive program so that they have an opportunity to present their own work in both poster and seminar formats. We aim to make an inclusive and comfortable environment where these junior investigators have a chance to openly exchange ideas and interact with the more senior scientists. In summary, we have developed an innovative and cutting edge scientific program that will emphasize emerging themes in pathogenic and mutagenic mechanisms of the repeat disorders and harness these bodies of knowledge for therapeutic benefit. Sessions include speakers who directly work on repeat disorders as well as speakers who can provide perspectives from other fields. The keynote speakers (Stephen Warren and Nahum Sonenberg) reflect our goal to bring in broad expertise to inform studies into pathogenic mechanisms of disease and various treatment strategies in a forum that would not normally be available. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The 7th International Conference on Unstable Microsatellites in Human Disease will bring together researchers and clinicians to discuss cutting-edge information on disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions for these devastating diseases. In addition, the format of the Conference and the funding sought herein will promote and ensure the attendance and enhanced education of junior scientists, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资助第七届国际会议上不稳定的微卫星在人类疾病（UMDH 7）将在山举行。Ste. 2012年6月9日至14日，法国斯特拉斯堡附近的奥迪勒。以前的会议在北部/中部和欧洲地点轮流举行。UMHD 7将汇集来自世界各地的顶尖科学家，讨论关于重复障碍的高影响力，跨学科研究，目前已确定近40种。会议的目的是促进科学讨论，促进跨学科交流，将该领域的领先研究人员与代表临床医生，诊断医生，神经生物学家，病理学家，遗传学家和分子生物学家的广泛专家聚集在一起。会议的具体目标是：1）加强与重复扩张性疾病相关的信息的公开交流。这是为数不多的机会之一，不同领域的成员必须参加一个会议，代表所有的重复障碍。2)促进全球合作研究的激励和启动，以促进我们对与重复不稳定性相关的人类疾病的理解。UMHD系列在成功的交流和合作方面有着良好的记录，并鼓励了突破性的研究。3)为初级研究人员提供展示他们的工作并与多个不同领域的领先科学家互动的机会。我们的目标是吸引最好的年轻人使用一个深思熟虑的和全面的计划，使他们有机会提出自己的工作在海报和研讨会的格式。我们的目标是创造一个包容和舒适的环境，让这些初级研究人员有机会与更资深的科学家公开交流思想和互动。总之，我们已经开发了一个创新和尖端的科学计划，将强调在重复疾病的致病和致突变机制的新兴主题，并利用这些知识体系的治疗效益。会议包括直接从事重复障碍工作的发言者以及可以提供其他领域观点的发言者。主讲人（Stephen Warren和Nahum Sonenberg）反映了我们的目标，即引入广泛的专业知识，为疾病的致病机制和各种治疗策略的研究提供信息，这通常是不可能的。 公共卫生关系：第七届人类疾病不稳定微卫星国际会议将汇集研究人员和临床医生，讨论有关这些毁灭性疾病的疾病机制和治疗干预措施的前沿信息。此外，会议的形式和在此寻求的资金将促进和确保年轻科学家，包括研究生，博士后研究员和年轻教师的出席和加强教育。
