The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy Research Symposium 2012

描述（由申请人提供）： 2012 年周围神经病基金会 (FPN) 研究研讨会将于 2012 年 3 月 14 日至 16 日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥 JW 万豪酒店举行。 FPN 是一个公共基金会，致力于促进专门的神经科学家和医生之间在周围神经病研究方面的合作。最近，它建立了国家周围神经病患者登记处，并举办了一个在许多方面都是独一无二的研究研讨会。 2012 年 FPN 研究研讨会将汇集致力于周围神经病各个方面（从基础科学到转化研究再到临床试验）的科学家和医生。会议的独特形式鼓励公开讨论，以确定开发有效治疗周围神经病的关键障碍。参与者包括该领域的高级领导者和年轻的研究人员。小型会议将鼓励所有参与者之间的非正式互动。会议的目标是确定推动周围神经领域向前发展的可操作项目 周围神经病的再生、转化动物模型和有效的临床试验设计。会议的共识将总结为三份已发表的“白皮书”。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2012 Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy (FPN) Research Symposium will be held from March 14th to 16th, 2012 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Chicago, IL. The FPN is a public foundation committed to fostering collaboration for peripheral neuropathy research among dedicated neuroscientists and physicians. Recently, it has established a National Registry of patients with Peripheral Neuropathy and has put together a research symposium that is unique in many respects. The 2012 FPN Research Symposium will bring together scientists and physicians working on all aspects of peripheral neuropathies, from basic science to translational research to clinical trials. The unique format of the meeting encourages open discussion to identify critical barriers to developing effective treatments for peripheral neuropathies. The participants are a mix of senior leaders in the field and young investigators. The small meeting will encourage informal interactions among all participants. The goal of the meeting is to identify actionable items that move the field forward in peripheral nerve regeneration, translational animal modeling and effective clinical trial design in peripheral neuropathies. The consensus from the meeting will be summarized in three published "white papers".
