项目摘要

Project Summary This application seeks funding support for the 2017 Molecular and Cellular Biology of Helminth Parasites Meeting that brings together principal investigators, students and postdoctoral fellows from around the world to present important new findings, interact, develop new collaborations, and promote the importance of research on parasitic helminths. The 2017 (11th) meeting will be held during the first week of September, 2017. This meeting was established in 1997 with the intent to provide a collegial meeting for scientists to exchange ideas, develop new strategies for basic and applied research on these neglected diseases of poverty, and to bring to the field new concepts and technologies emerging from studies on C. elegans and other free-living helminths. The meeting consists of 100 participants and due to increased demand is now held every year. The conference represents the key and currently the only venue that unites researchers in the field, provides an important mechanism for dissemination of new and key studies, and provides a critical opportunity for recruiting new researchers and retaining existing researchers in the field. While helminth parasites are a major health problem, enticing and keeping scientist working on these often difficult to work with pathogens is an ongoing and critical battle. The meeting has played a significant role in fostering this community, playing an important and integral part in the development, growth, and continued advancements of the field. Because of the way it is structured, the meeting provides a unique opportunity to highlight student, postdoctoral and new junior faculty in the field. The meeting provides a valuable opportunity for participation of scientists from countries endemic for helminthic diseases and for the participation of under-represented minority trainees and scientists from the USA. The conference covers all major areas of helminth research in 12 thematic sessions with almost all participants contributing oral or poster presentations. The research areas include genomics, immunology, molecular biology, cell biology, drug development and tropical medicine. The location in Hydra, Greece was chosen for equal travel access for the international community and proximity to endemic countries. The meeting size and the small and quiet, traffic-free town provides ample facilities for interactions between delegates, fosters community development, and a special atmosphere of concentrated science, interactive discussions and generous opportunities for informal follow-ups. Importantly, the conference organizers request feedback following each meeting and continuously implement new formats and approaches to improve the meeting.

项目摘要本申请寻求2017年寄生虫分子和细胞生物学研究资助将来自世界各地的首席研究人员、学生和博士后研究员聚集在一起的会议提出重要的新发现，互动，发展新的合作，并促进研究的重要性寄生蠕虫。2017(11)次会议将于2017年9月第一周举行。这会议成立于1997年，旨在为科学家提供一个交流思想的合议性会议，制定关于这些被忽视的贫困疾病的基础和应用研究的新战略，并使对线虫和其他自由生活的蠕虫的研究中出现的新概念和新技术。这次会议有100人参加，由于需求增加，现在每年举行一次。这个会议代表着关键，也是目前唯一团结该领域研究人员的场所，提供了一个传播新的关键研究的重要机制，并为招募新的研究人员并留住该领域的现有研究人员。而蠕虫寄生虫是主要的健康问题，吸引和留住科学家研究这些通常难以处理的病原体是一种正在进行的关键战斗。会议在培育这个社区方面发挥了重要作用，发挥了在该领域的发展、壮大和持续进步中发挥着重要和不可或缺的作用。因为. 会议的组织方式提供了一个独特的机会，突出了学生、博士后和新员工该领域的初级教员。这次会议为来自世界各地的科学家提供了宝贵的参与机会蠕虫疾病流行国家和代表不足的少数受训人员的参与以及来自美国的科学家。会议分12个专题会议，涵盖蠕虫研究的所有主要领域。几乎所有参与者都提供口头或海报演示。研究领域包括基因组学，免疫学、分子生物学、细胞生物学、药物开发和热带医学。在九头蛇的位置，希腊被选中是因为国际社会享有平等的旅行机会，而且离流行国家很近。会议规模大，小而安静，交通畅通的小镇为双方的互动提供了充足的设施代表们，促进社区发展，营造集中科学、互动的特殊氛围讨论和慷慨的非正式后续行动机会。重要的是，会议组织者在每次会议后要求反馈，并持续实施新的格式和方法以改进那次会议。
