2002 Symposium-Functional Genomics of Urogenital System

简介（由申请人提供）：基础泌尿学研究学会（SBUR） 2002年第12届秋季年会将于2002年12月5日至12月8日在亚利桑那州图森市的Loews Ventana Canyon度假村举行。本次国际会议的主题是“泌尿生殖系统的功能基因组学”。本次会议的前提是，通过更好地了解泌尿生殖系统的功能基因组学，可以极大地提高对危及生命和生活质量的泌尿系统疾病的理解、诊断和治疗。本次会议的目的是使基础泌尿学研究人员意识到许多新的工具、技术和方法，这些工具、技术和方法是可用的，而且是必需的，以提高对泌尿生殖疾病的理解、诊断和治疗。会议将努力建立一个开放的氛围，以促进思想的交流，同时促进和刺激泌尿外科新领域的研究和合作。科学会议的主题包括：1)泌尿系统疾病的小鼠模型：基因敲除和转基因方法；2)基因组学、蛋白质组学与泌尿系统癌症；3)结构生物学与应用技术；4)正常和病变细胞组织中的基因表达；5)泌尿生殖综合生理学：分子靶点选择模型；泌尿系统疾病的基因治疗。总的来说，我们相信这次会议将服务于重要的科学和教育目的，并将促进对男性和女性泌尿系统疾病基本认识的新研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):The Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR) 12th Fall Annual Symposium 2002, will be held on December 5-December 8, 2002 at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, in Tucson, Arizona. The theme of this international meeting is "Functional Genomics of the Urogenital System". The premise of this meeting is that the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of both life-threatening and quality-of-life urological disorders can both be vastly improved by a better understanding of the Functional Genomics of the Urogenital System. The goal of this meeting is to make basic urologic researchers aware of the numerous new tools, technologies and approaches that are available, and moreover, required, for the improved understanding, diagnosis and treatment of urogenital disease. The meeting will endeavor to establish an open atmosphere that will result in cross-fertilization of ideas, while simultaneously promoting and stimulating new areas of research and collaboration in Urology. Thematic topics to be covered in scientific sessions include 1) Mouse Models of Urologic Disease: Knockout and Transgenic Approaches; 2) Genomics, Proteomics and Urologic Cancers; 3) Structural Biology and Applied Technologies; 4) Gene expression in normal and diseased cells and tissues; 5) Integrative Urogenital Physiology: Models for selection of molecular targets; 6) Gene therapy of Urologic Disease. Overall, we believe this conference will serve important scientific and educational ends and will stimulate new research in the basic understanding of urologic disorders in men and women.
