DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Extensive work over the last 3 decades has established the importance of interferons and other cytokines in health and disease. Several cytokines are implicated in development, regulation of innate immunity, control of normal hematopoiesis and other important cellular and biological functions, and there is rapid accumulation of knowledge in these areas. Greater understanding of mechanisms of disease and novel concepts for therapy will emerge from multi-disciplinary forums where advances can be presented and discussed by established and trainee scientists. The overall objective of this application is to obtain support for junior investigator attendance to the 2010 joint annual meeting of the two major international Societies addressing cytokine-mediated immune host modulation in health and disease: International Cytokine Society and the International Society of Interferon and Cytokine Research. The conference is entitled, "Cytokines in Infectious Diseases, Autoimmune Disorders and Cancer," to be held in Chicago, October 3-7, 2010. This event unites the biomedical expertise and energies of the two societies and has become the world's most important annual conference on basic and clinical research on cytokines. Recent annual meetings were held in Lisbon, Montreal and Vienna. The 2010 joint society meeting (Cytokines 2010) will bring together all members of both Societies to maximize interactions and foster collaborations. The goals of this meeting are: Specific Aim 1: To facilitate interactions of young investigators and trainees with well-established researchers in the cytokine and interferon research fields and to provide a forum for them to present their work. Specific Aim 2: To facilitate the development of a meeting that will attract scientists from academic and governmental institutions and from industry to discuss recent advances on the roles of cytokines and interferons in infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and cancer. Oral and poster presentations will be made by both invited speakers as well as speakers selected from submitted abstracts. Specific Aim 3: To facilitate the development of a program which highlights the most important research developments and advances in the cytokine and/or interferon fields under the subject headings: inflammation, T cell biology/adaptive immunity, signal transduction, IL-1 biology, immunoregulation, infectious diseases, microbial pattern recognition, cytokines in immune cell development and differentiation, novel methods in cytokine detection, micro-RNAs and post-transcriptional regulation, interferons in the treatment of diseases, novel therapeutic targets in the treatment of malignancies, cytokines and cell death, viral mechanisms that block cytokine responses, cytokines and infectious diseases; interferons and viral infections, cytokines/chemokines and their receptors, structure/function and cytokine-based therapies. Specific Aim 4: To enable under-represented minorities and persons with disabilities to participate in a meeting that facilitates interactions with other scientists in their fields.

描述（由申请人提供）：过去30年的大量工作已经确立了干扰素和其他细胞因子在健康和疾病中的重要性。几种细胞因子与发育、先天免疫调节、正常造血控制和其他重要的细胞和生物学功能有关，并且在这些领域的知识迅速积累。对疾病机制和新的治疗概念的更好理解将出现在多学科论坛上，在那里，成熟的和实习的科学家可以展示和讨论进展。本申请的总体目标是为初级研究者参加2010年两个主要国际学会（国际细胞因子学会和国际干扰素和细胞因子研究学会）的联合年会提供支持，这两个主要国际学会致力于研究健康和疾病中的干扰素介导的免疫宿主调节。会议的题目是“传染病、自身免疫疾病和癌症中的细胞因子”，将于2010年10月3-7日在芝加哥举行。该活动将两个学会的生物医学专业知识和能量结合起来，已成为世界上最重要的细胞因子基础和临床研究年度会议。最近在里斯本、蒙特利尔和维也纳举行了年度会议。2010年联合学会会议（细胞因子2010）将汇集两个学会的所有成员，以最大限度地加强互动和促进合作。这次会议的目标是： 具体目标1：促进年轻的研究人员和学员与细胞因子和干扰素研究领域的知名研究人员的互动，并为他们提供一个展示工作的论坛。 具体目标二：促进召开一次会议，吸引来自学术和政府机构以及工业界的科学家，讨论细胞因子和干扰素在传染病、自身免疫性疾病和癌症中的作用的最新进展。应邀发言者和从提交的摘要中选出的发言者将作口头和海报介绍。 具体目标3：为了促进项目的发展，该项目突出了在主题标题下细胞因子和/或干扰素领域最重要的研究进展和进步：炎症、T细胞生物学/适应性免疫、信号转导、IL-1生物学、免疫调节、感染性疾病、微生物模式识别、免疫细胞发育和分化中的细胞因子、细胞因子检测的新方法，micro-RNA和转录后调节、疾病治疗中的干扰素、恶性肿瘤治疗中的新治疗靶点、细胞因子和细胞死亡、阻断细胞因子应答的病毒机制、细胞因子和感染性疾病;干扰素和病毒感染、细胞因子/趋化因子及其受体、结构/功能和基于精氨酸的疗法。 具体目标4：使代表人数不足的少数群体和残疾人能够参加一次会议，促进与其领域的其他科学家的互动。
