TESTIS WORKSHOP

该提案的目的是支持年轻研究人员参加第十五届睾丸精子发生研讨会：监管方面。 由美国Serono研讨会主办的第十五届睾丸研讨会定于1999年4月7日至10日在肯塔基州的路易斯维尔举行。 年轻的研究者被定义为那些在5年内获得博士学位。 要求提供资金，以提供15份奖金，每份1 000美元，用于支付会议期间的旅费和生活费。 美国Serono Symposia将免除奖项的注册费。 申请人将被要求在海报会议上提交他们的演讲摘要，这些将由睾丸研讨会主席和他的科学咨询委员会进行评判和颁奖。生物科学概念的进步以新技术和实验策略的应用为标志。 从过去25年睾丸研讨会上提出的主题演变来看，这一普遍原则在睾丸细胞研究中表现得最为明显。 1999年睾丸讲习班秉承这一传统，旨在提供新的见解和方法，以了解从性别决定到受精的精子发生，并将包括一个关于遗传缺陷和补救措施的会议。主席希望，参加会议的调查人员将受到智力上的激励，并鼓励他们在对生殖健康极其重要的领域进行尖端研究

The objective of this proposal is to support the participation of young investigators at the XV Testis Workshop on Spermatogenesis: Regulatory Aspects. The XV Testis Workshop, which is sponsored by Serono Symposia, USA, is scheduled for April 7-10, 1999 Louisville, Kentucky. Young investigators are defined as those within 5 years of receipt of their PhD. Funding is requested to provide 15 awards of $1,000 each to cover travel and living expenses during the Conference. Serono Symposia, USA will waive the registration fee for the awards. Applicants will required to submit an Abstract of their presentation at poster session and these will be judged and the awards made by the Chair of the Testis Workshop and his Scientific Advisory Committee. Conceptual advances in the biological sciences are marked by the application of the new techniques and experimental strategies. Nowhere has this generic principle been more apparent than in the study of testicular cells as judged by the evolution of themes presented at the Testis Workshop over the past 25 years. Keeping to this tradition, the 1999 Testis Workshop is structured to offer fresh insights and approaches for understanding spermatogenesis from sex determination to fertilization and will include a session on genetic defects and remedies. It is the hope of the Chair that the investigators participating in the meeting will be stimulated intellectually and encouraged to pursue cutting edge research in an area that is exceedingly important to reproductive health
