15th International Symposium on Trace Elements in Man and Animals (TEMA15)

描述(申请人提供)：第十五届人与动物微量元素国际研讨会(TEMA 15)将于2014年6月22日至6月26日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行。这次第15次会议(TEMA系列会议)将汇集不同的生物医学和营养科学家，他们对微量元素营养及其与人类疾病的关系以及动物体内的微量元素新陈代谢感兴趣。TEMA第15届会议将延续过去TEMA会议的传统，为讨论最近的进展提供一个论坛，并使国际调查人员能够在微量元素研究领域交流意见。为了给会议带来平衡和多样性，被邀请的演讲者将包括年轻的调查人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数族裔。这次研讨会将从提交的摘要中吸引许多发言者；与其他只由一到两个组织者选出发言者的微量元素会议相比，这是独一无二的。通过提供一种包容性的方法，TEMA 15将对不同研究领域的个人产生广泛的吸引力，报告关于人类、动物、细胞和分子的研究-基础和应用层面的研究。由各自领域的顶尖科学家涵盖的主题包括与微量元素相关的研究的生理、生化、分子和生物医学方面。组织这次会议是为了实现三个具体目标。目标1是提供一个论坛，介绍有关微量元素综合方面的最新概念。TEMA会议的专题介绍集中在：1)人类和生物医学问题；2)微量元素生理学研究；3)营养、补充和生物强化；4)人和动物的微量元素代谢和功能模型；以及5)涉及具有国际影响的微量元素的问题。目标2是促进对微量元素新陈代谢感兴趣的国际科学家之间的信息交流。有大量的交叉受精和相互作用的机会。由于会议地点在美国，美国演讲者将是本次会议的突出特色。目标3是促进职业生涯早期阶段(如研究生、博士后和助理教授)关注营养代谢/功能的不同研究人员群体的专业；此外，不同性别和地理多样性的个人将有机会发言，同时也鼓励参与 来自代表人数不足的少数群体和残疾人。我们将尽一切努力在座谈会上介绍这些人。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 15th International Symposium on Trace Elements in Man and Animals (TEMA 15) will be held in Orlando Florida June 22-June 26, 2014. This 15th conference (in the series of TEMA meetings) will bring together a diverse group of biomedical and nutritional scientists with interests in trace element nutrition and relationship to human disease, as well as trace element metabolism in animals. TEMA 15 will continue the traditions of the past TEMA meetings to provide a forum for discussion of recent progress and to allow for exchange of ideas by international investigators in the area of trace element research. To bring balance and diversity to the meeting, invited speakers will include young investigators, women, and underrepresented minorities. This symposium will draw many speakers from submitted abstracts; this is unique compared to other trace element meetings where speakers are chosen by only one or two organizers. By providing an inclusive approach, TEMA 15 will have a broad appeal to individuals in diverse areas of research with studies being reported on humans, animals, cells and molecules - at both basic and applied levels. Topics to be covered by top scientists in their respective fields include physiological, biochemical, molecular and biomedical aspects of trace element-related research. The meeting has been organized to meet three Specific Aims. Aim 1 is to provide a forum to present state-of-the-art concepts on integrative aspects of trace elements. TEMA meetings involve presentations focused on: 1) humans and biomedical issues; 2) research on trace element physiology; 3) nutrition, supplementation and biofortification; 4) models of trace element metabolism and function in man and animals; and 5) issues involving trace elements with international implications. Aim 2 is to foster exchange of information among international scientists with interests in trace element metabolism. There are extensive opportunities for cross-fertilization and interaction. Because the venue of the meeting is in the United States, American speakers will be prominently featured at this meeting. Aim 3 is to promote the professions of a diverse group of researchers, who focus on nutrient metabolism/function, in their early career stages (e.g. graduate students, post-docs and assistant professors); additionally individuals of different gender and geographical diversity will be given opportunities to present, while also encouraging participation from underrepresented minorities and those with disabilities. Every attempt will be made to feature these individuals in symposia.
