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.

项目摘要/摘要 焦点2009-焦点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 拒绝。要迅速利用这一领域的科学进步，需要克服两大障碍：第一， 将基本发现转化为临床和医学相关背景，第二，交换 免疫科学的相关发现，通过多学科将这些不同的疾病统一起来 跨越传统临床界限的方法。临床免疫学联合会Focis 协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名具有这一共同愿景的专业人员的主要专业协会是一项服务，将 确保朝着通过免疫学改善人类健康的目标取得进展。 FOCIS年会提供了一个科学论坛，促进了所需的跨学科方法 了解和治疗基于免疫的疾病。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 与其自身专业相关的疾病，其最新进展背后的免疫学科学 诊断和治疗这些不同的疾病是多学科的，跨越了标准的临床 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基础和新的治疗方法 这些新的关系所表明的，包括在治疗中越来越广泛地使用生物制品。 FOCIS年会为研究人员和临床医生提供了一个理解和翻译的机会 在基础科学和临床应用方面取得多个不同领域的突破。 除了突出最好的科学之外，FOCIS年会还是一个孵化器，为开发 科学家和实践者都将与相关的代表一起会面 生物技术和制药业。每天包括海报和口头摘要演示，以 给年轻的研究人员机会，让他们的工作得到展示和批评。FOCIS需要一个特定的 关注青年调查人员的发展，并向他们提供旅行奖励，以补充他们的 出席会议的费用。 通过相互分享发现，代表们获得了研究和应用科学的新想法 从他们原本不会在疾病或器官会议上接触到的学科中脱颖而出。这个 Focis年会是新研究人员了解不同翻译的理想论坛 将基础免疫学实验室与临床实践联系起来的方法。 除了鼓励新调查人员的参与外，FOCIS还认识到 来自广泛人口统计学领域的参与者。尽一切努力包括不同的代表 在FOCIS组委会和年会的科学计划中。所有人的成功 之前的八次焦点会议证明了这一努力。现请求提供支持，以支持2009年- 2013年重点会议，特别是教育方案和旅行奖学金，这些会议将继续 有价值的努力。
