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.

项目摘要该申请寻求2017年蠕虫寄生虫分子和细胞生物学的资金支持会议汇集了来自世界各地的主要研究人员，学生和博士后研究员，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上2017年（第11次）会议将于2017年9月的第一周举行。这会议成立于1997年，目的是为科学家提供一个学术会议，制定新的战略，对这些被忽视的贫困疾病进行基础和应用研究，研究中出现的新概念和新技术。线虫和其他自由生活的蠕虫。该会议由100名与会者组成，由于需求增加，现在每年举行一次。的会议代表了关键，目前唯一的场地，团结研究人员在该领域，提供了一个传播新的和关键的研究的重要机制，并提供了一个重要的机会，招募新的研究人员并保留该领域的现有研究人员。虽然蠕虫寄生虫是主要的健康问题，吸引和保持科学家对这些往往很难与病原体的工作是一个正在进行的关键战役。会议在促进这一社区方面发挥了重要作用，重要的和不可分割的一部分，在发展，增长，并继续推进该领域。因为它的结构方式，会议提供了一个独特的机会，突出学生，博士后和新的初级教员会议为来自世界各地的科学家提供了一个宝贵的机会，以及代表人数不足的少数群体受训人员的参与，美国的科学家。会议涵盖了蠕虫研究的所有主要领域，共12个专题会议几乎所有与会者都作了口头或海报介绍。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，而且靠近流行病国家。会议规模和小而安静，无交通的城镇提供了充足的设施，代表，促进社区发展，并集中科学，互动的特殊氛围讨论和非正式后续行动的大量机会。重要的是，会议组织者在每次会议后要求反馈，并不断实施新的格式和方法，以改善了那次会议
