2004 National Vitiligo Foundation Scientific Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 组织了国家白癜风基金会(NVF)，[1]向白癜风患者传播信息和支持，[2]支持为这种疾病的研究募集资金。除此之外，NVF希望举行科学家和临床医生的年度会议，以协调、整合和加快致力于[1]了解这种疾病的病因和[2]白癜风的治疗/治疗的发展的基础科学和临床研究。 2004年首届全国白癜风基金会科学年会(NVFSC)的目标是让对白癜风的病因和治疗的遗传学、细胞/分子、免疫学和治疗基础的研究感兴趣的科学家参加这次会议。这项提议的具体目的是为主旨讨论会的演讲者获得部分旅费，为数量有限的研究生、博士后研究员和初级学院提供旅费支助，并以租用报告厅和视听设施的形式获得举办会议的部分经费。会议将于2004年4月27-28日在国立卫生研究院校园内的利斯特希尔国家中心举行。会议将包括四个专题讨论会/讨论，题为[1]白癜风遗传学分析，[2]白癜风细胞生物学分析，[3]白癜风免疫学分析，和[4]白癜风临床处理分析。此外，还将为每届会议组织小型专题讨论会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Vitiligo Foundation (NVF) was organized to [1] disseminate information and support to patients with vitiligo and [2] to champion the recruitment of funds for research on this disease. In addition to this, the NVF desires to implement annual meetings of scientists and clinicians to coordinate, integrate, and accelerate the basic science and clinical research devoted to [1] understanding the etiology of this disease and [2] the development of treatments/cures for vitiligo. The goal of the 2004 First Annual National Vitiligo Foundation Scientific Conference (NVFSC) is to bring to this meeting scientists interested in the study of the genetic, cellular/molecular, immunological, and therapeutic basis for the etiology and treatment of vitiligo. The specific aims of this proposal are to obtain partial funding for travel support for Keynote Symposium speakers, to provide travel support for a limited number of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior Faculty, and to obtain partial funding to run the conference in the form of rental of the lecture hall and audio/visual facilities. The Conference will be held at the Lister Hill National Center on the campus of the National Institutes of Health on April 27-28, 2004. The Conference will consist of four Symposiums/Discussions entitled [1] Analysis of the genetics of vitiligo, [2] Analysis of the cell biology of vitiligo, [3] Analysis of the immunology of vitiligo, and [4] Analysis of the clinical management of vitiligo. In addition, mini-symposiums will be organized for each of the sessions.
