The Second Rust Belt Microbiome Conference

项目摘要 本申请请求为第二届匹兹堡锈带微生物组(RBM)会议提供部分资金 2022年对于第二次成果管理制会议，我们打算利用从以下方面取得的力量、成功和经验教训 2019年举行的第一次会议，以机械为重点，具有激动人心和前瞻性的计划 通过前沿基础研究和翻译研究进行的微生物组研究以及在 微生物组在传染病、临床科学和个性化医学中的作用。我们的目标是建立 这次会议作为两年一度的活动，向全国开放，但重点是将 匹兹堡微生物组研究和临床社区(匹兹堡大学、匹兹堡大学 医疗中心[UPMC]，卡内基梅隆，杜奎恩，阿勒格尼综合医院，以及阿勒格尼学院， 卡洛大学和查塔姆大学)和附近城市(包括布法罗、摩根敦、克利夫兰、 费城、辛辛那提和哥伦布)。会议将向全国开放，同时促进 包括本科生和地区性机构以及医院工作人员，否则他们可能无法获得 关于人类病原体和微生物组的国家/国际会议。虽然在微生物组方面的研究 空间是在其他国家会议上提出的，成果管理制会议在多种方面有所不同，包括 研究主题集中在可以纳入微生物组研究的新技术，新的进军 微生物组在癌症治疗中的应用，以及进化和适应过程的重要性 在宿主-微生物群的相互作用中。此外，会议强调基础与临床的结合 研究人员，同时强调学生和初级调查人员的工作。为此，大会 将以初级调查人员的简短演讲为特色，这些演讲将由 组委会从提交的摘要中选出。学生们还将有机会展示他们的作品 在互动海报课程中，海报按主题分组，学生口头展示海报以 他们的同行和高级调查人员是该组织的一部分。学生与演讲者互动的机会 也将被组织起来。这次会议汇集了来自多个学科和机构的顶尖科学家。 推动这一重要领域的发展，同时争取召开一次让学生和初级学生积极参与的包容性会议 科学家。

Project Summary This application requests partial funding for the Second Pittsburgh Rust Belt Microbiome (RBM) Conference 2022. For the Second RBM Conference, we intend to leverage the strength, successes and lessons learned from the first conference held in 2019 with an exciting and forward-thinking program featuring a focus on mechanistic studies of the microbiome through cutting-edge basic and translational research and new developments in the role of the microbiome in infectious disease, clinical science, and personalized medicine. Our goal is to establish this conference as a biennial event open to nation-wide attendance yet focused on bringing together the microbiome research and clinical communities from Pittsburgh (University of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center [UPMC], Carnegie Mellon, Duquesne, Allegheny General Hospital, as well as Allegheny College, Carlow University, and Chatham University) and nearby cities (including Buffalo, Morgantown, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Columbus). The conference will be open to national attendance, while promoting inclusion of undergraduate and regional institutions and hospital staff who may otherwise have limited access to national/international conferences on human pathogens and microbiome. While research in the microbiome space is presented at other national meetings, the RBM conference distinguishes itself in multiple ways including research topics focused on new technologies that can be incorporated into microbiome studies, new forays into the use of the microbiome in the treatment of cancer, and the importance of evolution and adaptation processes in host-microbiome interactions. Further, the conference emphasizes the integration of basic and clinical researchers, along with highlighting the work of students and junior investigators. To this end, the conference will feature several “rapid-fire” sessions for short talks from junior investigators that will be chosen by the organizing committee from submitted abstracts. There will also be opportunities for students to present their work in an interactive poster session in which posters are grouped by topics and students orally present posters to their peers and senior investigators who are part of the group. Opportunities for students to interact with speakers will also be organized. The conference brings together leading scientists from multiple disciplines and institutions to advance this vital field while striving for an inclusive meeting that actively involves students and junior scientists.
