DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for a meeting sponsored by Trudeau Institute on The Yin and Yang of Inflammation, organized by Andrea Cooper, Marcia Blackman and Elizabeth Leadbetter. The meeting will be held at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid, New York from April 4-6, 2014. Many diseases are the product of inflammation, which is part of the body's response to infection and tissue damage but is also a key element in chronic health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and aging. In this meeting, experts from throughout the biotech and academic framework will come together to examine and describe critical pathways in inflammation, place these pathways within the context of human disease, and discuss progress in developing new targets and treatments to combat inflammation-based diseases. The goals of this meeting are 1) to share fresh insight and generate discussion on the topic of inflammation that has obvious implications for human health, 2) to stimulate conversations between scientists who work in academia and the biotechnology industry in order to establish mutually beneficial interactions and share data and experimental approaches, and 3) to provide a venue affordable and accessible to students, post-docs and early stage investigators, and to provide scholarships to offset the costs of attending the meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：要求支持由特鲁多研究所主办的关于炎症的阴阳的会议，由安德烈库珀，马西娅布莱克曼和伊丽莎白利德贝特组织。会议将于2014年4月4日至6日在纽约普莱西德湖的高峰度假村举行。许多疾病是炎症的产物，这是身体对感染和组织损伤的反应的一部分，但也是心脏病、糖尿病、类风湿性关节炎和衰老等慢性健康问题的关键因素。在这次会议上，来自整个生物技术和学术框架的专家将聚集在一起，研究和描述炎症中的关键途径，将这些途径置于人类疾病的背景下，并讨论开发新靶点和治疗方法以对抗炎症疾病的进展。本次会议的目标是：1）分享新的见解，并就炎症这一对人类健康有明显影响的话题展开讨论，2）激发在学术界和生物技术行业工作的科学家之间的对话，以建立互利的互动，分享数据和实验方法，3）为学生提供一个负担得起的和可访问的场所，博士后和早期研究人员，并提供奖学金，以抵消出席会议的费用。
