Human Amyloid Imaging (HAI) Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案请求支持由基思A组织的第七届人类淀粉样蛋白成像会议。约翰逊，医学博士，威廉J. Jagust，医学博士，威廉E. Klunk，医学博士，博士和切斯特马西斯，医学博士，将于2013年1月17日至18日在佛罗里达的迈阿密举行。会议将以简短的研究报告，口头报告，主题演讲，公开讨论，简短的教学方法讲座，海报会议和网络广播的独特组合为特色。这些演讲将经过同行评审，并将集中在阿尔茨海默病生物学和生物标志物研究的核心争议。其目的是延续前六次HAI会议的传统，汇集了跨学科的小组成员和演讲者，他们将提供来自神经病理学，神经化学，心理学，神经学，分子成像，临床试验和生物标志物研究的观点。该会议将作为一个高度互动的平台，学术和工业科学家的意图，讨论在人类成像的淀粉样蛋白β和/或其他生物标志物，涉及阿尔茨海默氏症相关疾病的尖端研究。我们还将继续只介绍该领域最新的重要工作的传统，在会议前不到两个月的时间内再次对提交的材料进行同行审查。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for the 7th Human Amyloid Imaging conference organized by Keith A. Johnson, MD, William J. Jagust, MD, William E. Klunk, MD, PhD, and Chester Mathis, MD, to be held in Miami, Florida, January 17-18, 2013. The meeting will feature a unique combination of brief research reports, oral presentations, keynote lectures, open discussion, brief didactic methods lectures, a poster session, and a webcast. These presentations will be peer-reviewed and will focus on the core controversies in Alzheimer's disease biology and biomarker research. The aim is to continue the tradition of the first six HAI meetings, bringing together a cross-disciplinary mass of panelists and presenters who will provide perspectives from neuropathology, neurochemistry, psychology, neurology, molecular imaging, clinical trials and biomarker research. The meeting will serve as a highly interactive platform for academic and industry scientists intent on discussing cutting- edge research in human imaging of amyloid-beta and/or other biomarkers that pertain to Alzheimer's- related disease. We will also continue the tradition of featuring only the most recent, important work in the field by again conducting peer -review of submitted material less than two months prior to the meeting.
