Bone Tissue Engineering and Regeneration: From Discovery to the Clinic

描述（由申请人提供）：我们将于2010年12月5日在佛罗里达州奥兰多市举办为期一天的研讨会，主题为“骨组织工程和再生：从发现到临床”。研讨会的目标是：i)定义该领域的艺术状态；Ii)确定那些需要科学进步的领域，以改进骨缺损和受损愈合的转化治疗，iii)制定影响未来方向的“行动计划”，并使骨组织工程领域取得进展。Specific Aim 1旨在为临床医生、科学家、工程师、行业和政府代表提供一个论坛，讨论和定义推进骨组织工程的进展、机会和转化需求。讲习班有一流的科学参与者，杰出的妇女和少数民族科学家代表，并包括学生和学员。本次会议的主讲人将讨论骨组织工程在指定研究子领域的进展状况。重点将放在该领域的挑战和机遇，以及与其他学科的合作和交叉对进步至关重要的领域。具体目标2制定了一个“行动计划”，以积极影响骨组织工程领域的翻译和未来方向。在目标2A中，研讨会将于2010年12月5日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的TERMIS-NA会议开始时举行，以充分利用与会的世界专家大会。在目标2B中，工作坊的设计将吸引学生和学员参加活动。在目标2C中，设计了出版策略，以便会议内容和建议摘要可以广泛传播。总之，开发综合的、现实的、有效的人骨再生策略是一个亟待解决的问题。研讨会将介绍目前与骨再生相关的各个领域的知识体系，并将确定临床转化为改进骨再生策略的关键领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A one-day workshop is proposed that is entitled "Bone Tissue Engineering and Regeneration: From Discovery to the Clinic" in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, December 5, 2010. The workshop goals are: i) to define the state of art in the field; ii) to identify those areas where scientific advances are necessary for improved translational treatments of bone defects and impaired healing, and iii) to develop an "action plan" that will influence future directions and enable advancement in the bone tissue engineering field. Specific Aim 1 is designed to provide a forum for clinicians, scientists, engineers, industry, and government representatives to discuss and define the progress, opportunities, and translational needs for advancing bone tissue engineering. The workshop has superb group of scientific participants, excellent representation by leading women and minority scientists, and inclusion of students and trainees. The presenters at this meeting will discuss the state of advancement of bone tissue engineering within an assigned sub-area of research. The focus will be on the challenges and opportunities of the field and the areas where collaboration and intersection with other disciplines is critical for advancement. Specific Aim 2 develops an "action plan" to positively influence the translation and future directions of the bone tissue engineering field. In Aim 2A the workshop will occur as at the initiation of the TERMIS-NA meeting in Orlando FL on December 5, 2010 to capitalize on the assembly of world experts in attendance. In Aim 2B the workshop will be designed to attract students and trainees to the event. In Aim 2C a publication strategy is designed so that the meeting content and summary of the recommendations can be widely disseminated.. In summary, the development of integrative, realistic and effective strategies for regenerating human bone is a critical and unsolved problem. The workshop will the body of knowledge currently present in the various fields related to bone regeneration and will identify key areas for clinical translation towards improved bone regeneration strategies.
