20TH ANNUAL MTG-AMERICAN SOCIETY REPRODUCTIVE IMMUNOLOGY

第20届美国生殖免疫学学会（ASRI）年会的目的是：1)分享生殖免疫学重要新发展的研究成果；2)促进生殖免疫学各学科基础科学家和临床医生之间的知识交流；3)为对生殖免疫学感兴趣的新科学家提供指导。这次会议将围绕六次全体会议组织，对所有感兴趣的科学家开放。第一次全体会议题为“生殖免疫学的新概念”，将重点介绍最近的发现，这些发现改变了对允许胎儿同种异体移植物逃避母体免疫系统的机制的理解。全体会议第二将集中讨论生殖道中的细胞免疫功能，全体会议第三将专门讨论生殖微生物学和病毒学，全体会议第四将集中讨论参与免疫系统和生殖系统对话的调节分子。第五次全体会议的主题是“营养免疫学和生殖”，将包括一系列关于免疫功能的营养调节可以对生殖生物学产生影响这一新兴观点的前沿演讲。第六次全体会议题为“因免疫问题导致的高危妊娠患者的临床管理”，讨论了生殖免疫学研究的最终目标，即将结果应用于临床环境。第六届会议的特邀演讲者来自与免疫原因相关的不孕不育妇女患者管理相关的临床科学的前沿。美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）要求提供资金：1)资助20名希望参加会议的研究生、博士后科学家、住院医生和初级教师；2)邀请8名演讲者的费用。学员参加第20届ASRI年会，了解生殖免疫学的最新工作，与从事生殖免疫学前沿研究的人会面，并从阅读生殖免疫学家的文章中获得对其科学工作的批判性评价和反馈，这一点至关重要。由于ASRI是一个小型社团，因此要求为演讲者提供旅费支持，因此ASRI依赖于赞助机构为年会的受邀演讲者提供支持。

The purpose of the 20th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Immunology (ASRI) is to l) share research concerning important new developments in reproductive immunology, 2) promote intellectual exchange between basic scientists and clinicians in the various disciplines of reproductive immunology and 3) provide mentorship for new scientists interested in reproductive immunology. The meeting, which is open to all interested scientists, will be organized around six plenary sessions. Plenary Session I, entitled "New Concepts in Reproductive Immunology", will highlight recent discoveries that have changed the understanding of mechanisms allowing the fetal allograft to elude the maternal immune system.. Plenary Session II will focus on cellular immune function in the reproductive tract, Plenary Session III will be devoted to reproductive microbiology and virology and Plenary Session IV will focus on regulatory molecules involved in the dialogue between the immune and reproductive systems. Plenary Session V is entitled "Nutritional Immunology and Reproduction" and will consist of a series of cutting-edge presentations on an emerging idea that nutritional regulation of immune function can have an impact on reproductive biology. Plenary session VI, entitled "Clinical Management of Patients with High-Risk Pregnancies Due to Immunological Problems", addresses the ultimate goal of research in reproductive immunology to apply results to he clinical setting. Invited speakers for session VI are in the forefront of clinical science related to management of women patients with infertility associated with immunological causes. Funds from NIH are being requested for 1) financial support for 20 graduate students, postdoctoral scientists, residents and junior faculty who wish to attend the meeting and 2) expenses for 8 invited speakers. It is critical that trainees attend the 20th Annual Meeting of the ASRI to learn about the most recent work in reproductive immunology, meet people who are doing cutting-edge research in reproductive immunology, and to get critical appraisal and feedback regarding their scientific efforts from reading reproductive immunologists. Travel support for speakers is requested since, as a small society, the ASRI is dependent upon sponsoring agencies to provide support for invited speakers at the annual meeting.
