IBMS Sun Valley Workshop on Musculoskeletal Biology

描述(申请人提供)：本申请请求支持2014年8月3-6日在爱达荷州太阳谷举行的太阳谷骨骼生物学研讨会年会。这些工作坊有40年的历史，强调初级教职员工和学生的积极参与。讲习班促进跨学科交流，其不同寻常之处在于，讨论时间等于或超过分配给正式陈述的时间。讲习班的目标是(1)致力于对与骨和关节疾病的发病机制、预防和治疗有关的分子、组织和生物力学过程进行多学科的基础和临床综合；(2)在基础和临床研究人员之间建立对话；(3)为初级教员和学生提供培训讲习班，帮助弥合学科之间的差距；(4)为学生培训提供一个论坛，并让初级研究人员有机会在小组活动中与更多资深科学家交谈。讲习班与国际骨矿学会(IBMS)之间的伙伴关系通过IBMS BoneKEy广播电子邮件和IBMS网站上的链接提供了最大程度的知名度。今年，工作坊将通过神经肽对骨骼过程的调节、骨骼脆性与血管钙化之间的关系、骨骼肌肉与骨骼生物和生物力学特性的关系、骨骼与免疫系统的相互作用以及肠道微生物群对骨骼健康的调节等会议，讨论骨骼与其他器官系统的相互作用。为初级调查人员提供了许多与较高级调查人员互动的机会。一个专门针对年轻调查人员的职业发展讲习班将在一个下午举行。周日晚上的会议留出了全体讲座，随后是一个海报会议，重点介绍提交的摘要。九位ASBMR/Harold M.Frost青年研究员奖获得者将在讲台上介绍他们的工作。研讨会摘要将通过IBMS BoneKEy提供。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for the annual meeting of the Sun Valley Workshop on Skeletal Biology held in Sun Valley, Idaho, August 3-6, 2014. The Workshops have a 40 year tradition, and emphasize active participation of junior faculty and students. The Workshops promote interdisciplinary communication, and are unusual in that discussion time equals or exceeds time allotted for formal presentation. The goals of the Workshop are to (1) work toward a multidisciplinary basic and clinical synthesis of molecular, tissue and biomechanical processes related to the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of bone and joint diseases; (2) develop a dialogue between basic and clinical investigators; (3) provide training workshops for junior faculty and students that help bridge the gaps between disciplines; (4) provide a forum for student training and the opportunity for junior investigators o talk with more senior scientists in a small group setting. A partnership between the Workshop and the International Bone and Mineral Society (IBMS) provides maximum visibility through IBMS BoneKEy broadcast emails and links on the IBMS website. This year, the Workshop will address the theme of The Interaction of Bone with Other Organ Systems through sessions focused on the Regulation of Skeletal Processes by Neuropeptides, the Association Between Bone Fragility and Vascular Calcification, the Association between Skeletal Muscle and Bone Biological and Biomechanical Properties, the Interaction of Bone and the Immune System, and the Regulation of Bone Health by the Gut Microbiome. Many opportunities are provided for junior investigators to interact with more senior investigators. A Career Development Workshop specifically geared toward young investigators will be held during one afternoon. The Sunday evening session is set aside for a Plenary Lecture, followed by a Poster Session highlighting submitted abstracts. Nine ASBMR/Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awardees will present their work from the podium. A summary of the workshop will be provided through IBMS BoneKEy.
