Project Summary/Abstract FOCIS 2009 - FOCIS 2013 Understanding function and regulation of the immune system is critical for many diseases, including autoimmune diseases, cancer, allergy/asthma, infectious diseases, immune deficiency, and transplant rejection. To rapidly exploit scientific advances in this area, two major barriers need to be overcome: First, the translation of basic findings into clinically and medically relevant contexts, and second, the exchange of relevant findings in immunological sciences which unify these diverse diseases through multidisciplinary approaches which cut across traditional clinical boundaries. FOCIS, the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies, is the leading international organization which exists to meet these needs. Linking more than 20 major professional societies representing 40,000 professionals with this common vision is a service that will ensure progress towards the goal of improving human health through immunology. The FOCIS Annual Meeting provides a scientific forum that fosters a cross-disciplinary approach required to understand and treat immune-based diseases. The evolution of the immunology field is a reflection of the shared pathophysiology of many diseases, including: autoimmune diseases, cancer, allergy/asthma, infectious diseases, immune deficiency and transplant rejection. While clinicians necessarily remain linked to diseases associated with their own specialty, the immunological sciences underlying recent advances in diagnosing and treating these diverse diseases are multidisciplinary and cut across standard clinical boundaries. The ultimate goal of the FOCIS annual meeting is to create a better understanding of the shared pathophysiological underpinnings of clinical immunology and the new therapeutic approaches suggested by these novel relationships, including the increasingly widespread use of biologics in therapy. The FOCIS Annual Meeting offers investigators and clinicians an opportunity to understand and translate breakthroughs in basic science and clinical applications from a variety of different fields. In addition to highlighting the best science, the FOCIS Annual Meeting is an incubator for developing scientists and practitioners alike to meet with one another along with representatives of relevant biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. Each day includes poster and oral abstract presentations to give young investigators the chance to have their work presented and critiqued. FOCIS takes a specific interest in the development of young investigators and provide travel awards to them to supplement their costs to attend the meeting. By sharing discoveries with one another, delegates acquire new ideas for research and applied science from disciplines to which they would otherwise not be exposed at disease- or organ-specific meetings. The FOCIS Annual Meeting is an ideal forum for new investigators to learn about the different translational approaches that are bridging the basic immunology laboratories within clinical practice. In addition to encouraging the participation of new investigators, FOCIS recognizes the importance of participation from a wide range of demographics. Every effort is made to include a diverse representation within the FOCIS Organizing Committee and the Annual Meeting's scientific program. The success of all eight of the previous FOCIS meetings attests to this effort. Support is now requested to support the 2009- 2013 FOCIS meetings, specifically the educational programs and travel fellowships, which will continue this valuable effort.

项目总结/摘要 FOCIS 2009 - FOCIS 2013 了解免疫系统的功能和调节对许多疾病至关重要，包括 自身免疫性疾病、癌症、过敏/哮喘、传染病、免疫缺陷和移植 排斥反应为了迅速利用这一领域的科学进步，需要克服两个主要障碍：第一， 将基本发现转化为临床和医学相关背景，第二， 免疫科学的相关发现，通过多学科的方法将这些不同的疾病统一起来， 这些方法跨越了传统的临床界限。临床免疫学联合会 国际社会是为满足这些需求而存在的主要国际组织。链接20多个 代表40，000名专业人士的主要专业协会具有这一共同愿景， 确保在通过免疫学改善人类健康的目标方面取得进展。 FOCIS年会提供了一个科学论坛，促进了所需的跨学科方法， 了解和治疗免疫性疾病。免疫学领域的演变反映了 许多疾病的共同病理生理学，包括：自身免疫性疾病，癌症，过敏/哮喘， 传染病、免疫缺陷和移植排斥。虽然临床医生必须保持联系 与自己的专业相关的疾病，免疫科学的基础最近的进展， 诊断和治疗这些不同的疾病是多学科的，并跨越标准的临床 边界FOCIS年会的最终目标是更好地了解 临床免疫学的共同病理生理学基础和新的治疗方法 这些新的关系表明，包括生物制剂在治疗中的日益广泛的使用。 FOCIS年会为研究者和临床医生提供了一个了解和翻译 在基础科学和临床应用的突破，从各种不同的领域。 除了突出最好的科学，FOCIS年会是一个孵化器， 科学家和从业人员都能与相关组织的代表一起沿着开会， 生物技术和制药业。每天包括海报和口头摘要介绍， 让年轻的研究人员有机会展示和评论他们的工作。FOCIS采用特定的 关注年轻调查员的发展，并为他们提供旅行奖励，以补充他们的 出席会议的费用。 通过彼此分享发现，代表们获得了研究和应用科学的新想法 从学科，否则他们不会接触到疾病或器官的具体会议。的 FOCIS年会是一个理想的论坛，为新的研究人员了解不同的翻译 在临床实践中连接基础免疫学实验室的方法。 除了鼓励新的调查人员参与外，FOCIS还认识到以下方面的重要性： 广泛的人口参与。我们尽一切努力， 在FOCIS组委会和年会的科学计划。所有人的成功 FOCIS以前的八次会议证明了这一努力。现在要求提供支助，以支持2009年- 2013年FOCIS会议，特别是教育计划和旅行奖学金，这将继续这一点 有价值的努力。
