Pathology of Mouse Models for Human Disease

描述(申请人提供)：本申请要求为人类疾病小鼠模型的病理学年度研讨会提供三年的支持。该研讨会的目标是提供为期一周的高强度、高水平、互动的培训课程，目标是下一代兽医和内科病理学家，他们将直接(作为PI和合作者)和间接(作为支持病理学家)在开发和表征人类疾病的小鼠模型方面工作。通过保持规模小和亲密，教职员工在研讨会的大部分或全部时间留下来与与会者互动，基于尊重和熟悉的网络将在团队中发展，就像过去的情况一样。围绕着一个高生产力和充满激情的病理学家核心团队(组织团队)，我们与一个由病理专家和研究科学家组成的轮流团队组成不同的项目，这些专家来自每个主办机构的工作人员，从而增加了多样性和专业知识，使用来自全国和世界各地的专家。研讨会将于2013年9月29日至10月5日在杰克逊实验室、伊萨卡的康奈尔大学(2014)和西雅图的华盛顿大学(2015)举行。尽管我们预计这种形式将与以前的讲习班类似，但我们将继续对科学界新出现的需求以及方法和技术的进步作出反应。我们计划继续从主办机构招聘“本地”人才的政策，以保持研讨会的新鲜感，但ALS为我们课程的“毕业生”打开了机会，他们现在在老鼠病理领域变得突出。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application asks for three years of support for the Annual Workshop on the Pathology of Mouse Models for Human Disease. The goal of this workshop is to provide an intense, high-level, interactive, week-long training session aimed at the next generation of veterinary and physician pathologists who will work directly (as PIs and collaborators) and indirectly (as support pathologists) in the development and characterization of mouse models of human disease. By keeping it small and intimate, with the faculty staying to interact with the attendees throughout much or all of the workshop, networks based on respect and familiarity will develop amongst the group, as has been the case in the past. Surrounding a highly productive and passionate core group of pathologists (the organizing team), we vary the program with a rotating group of pathology specialists and research scientists building from the staff of each host institution and thereby adding diversity and expertise using specialists from around the country and the world. The workshop will be held at The Jackson Laboratory on September 29th - October 5th, 2013, Cornell University in Ithaca (2014) and the University of Washington in Seattle (2015). Although we expect the format to be similar to that of previous workshops, we will continue to be responsive with regard to the emerging needs of the scientific community, as well as to advances in methods and technology. We plan to continue our policy of recruiting "local" talent from hosting institutions in order to keep the workshop fresh, but als opening up opportunities for "graduates" of our course who now are becoming prominent in the field of mouse pathology.
