Urologic Biology: Cell Actions and Reactions in Normal and Disease Niches

项目概要/摘要 该提案要求提供资金，以支持基础泌尿学研究学会（SBUR）秋季研讨会， “泌尿生物学：正常和疾病壁龛中的细胞作用和反应”，将在 2016年11月10日至13日，亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔。具体而言，请NIDDK/NCI为这一R13 申请将用于支持弱势、代表性差和/或初级研究者， 研究摘要，并希望参加会议，但否则可能无法参加。他们的 与会无疑将加强裁谈会和整个实地。本次会议涵盖 与泌尿外科和泌尿系统疾病高度相关的主题， 其他领域的关注，包括免疫学，发育生物学，数学建模， 工程.鉴于生物学和临床进步的快速但往往不充分的整合， 在该领域，迫切需要将基础和临床/转化研究人员，泌尿科医生和 临床医生都对泌尿系统疾病的细胞基础和这些知识的影响感兴趣， 个性化医疗的成功。因此，除了鼓励青少年参与外， 调查人员、妇女、少数群体和残疾人，这次会议的其他目标包括： 促进不同背景的基础和临床科学家之间的更多互动; 有机会讨论前沿科学，为跨学科交流奠定基础， 合作推进该领域。这次会议将通过确定关键的科学方法来推进科学的步伐。 知识差距，并制定解决这些差距的战略。此外，它还将强调关键的影响， 细胞水平的基本知识将有助于了解泌尿系统健康和疾病， 就解决与这些问题有关的具体研究优先事项达成共识。由于这些 目标，这一及时的会议预计将传播尖端信息，将用于推动新的 发现，并进一步改善健康和生活质量。

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT This proposal requests funds to support Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR) Fall Symposium entitled, “Urologic Biology: Cell Actions and Reactions in Normal and Disease Niches” which will be held in Scottsdale, AZ from November 10-13, 2016. Specifically, funds requested from the NIDDK/NCI for this R13 application will be used to support disadvantaged, poorly represented, and/or junior investigators who submit research abstracts and wish to participate in the meeting, but who otherwise might not be able to attend. Their participation will undoubtedly strengthen the conference and the field as a whole. This conference covers topics that are highly relevant to urology and the urologic diseases, and which are gaining considerable attention from other fields, including immunology, developmental biology, mathematical modeling, and engineering. Given the rapid but frequently inadequate integration of biological and clinical advancements in the field, there is a pressing need to bring together basic and clinical/translational researchers, urologists and clinicians who are all interested in the cellular basis of urologic disease and the impact this knowledge will have on the success of personalized medicine. Therefore, in addition to fostering the participation of junior investigators, women, minority groups, and the disabled, other goals of this conference include the following: promoting greater interactions among basic and clinician scientists of diverse backgrounds; creating the opportunity to discuss cutting-edge science, and building foundations for cross-disciplinary communication and collaborations to advance the field. This conference will advance the pace of science by identifying key knowledge gaps and developing strategies to address them. Furthermore, it will highlight critical implications that basic knowledge on the cellular level will bring to understanding urologic health and disease, and build consensus for addressing specific research priorities that relate to these issues. As a consequence of these goals, this timely meeting is expected to disseminate cutting-edge information that will be used to drive new discoveries and further improve health and quality of life.
