Conference on Physiological Genomics and Proteomics of Lung Diesease

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是为计划于2006年11月2-5日在佛罗里达举行的“肺部疾病的生理基因组学和蛋白质组学”APS会议寻求支持。本次会议的第一个目标是汇集肺部疾病不同领域的高级和年轻医学博士和博士研究人员，以及来自其他研究领域的基因组学和蛋白质组学领域的基础科学家，讨论在利用这些强大的基因组学和蛋白质组学工具来了解肺部疾病方面取得的进展，并概述未来工作应该采取的方向。该计划旨在让肺生物学和疾病领域的杰出和有前途的研究人员展示他们的工作，特别是强调在基因组学，蛋白质组学和代谢组学中使用最先进的工具进行肺部疾病研究。第二个目标是激励、教育和鼓励仍在接受培训的年轻调查人员进入这一调查领域，并为他们提供一个论坛，使他们能够与更成熟的调查人员进行互动。为此目的，将为培训中的科学家提供许多旅行奖，并将举行特别的海报讨论会议，让他们展示自己的工作。本提案的具体目标包括：1)召集一个国际公认的跨学科研究小组参加APS会议，重点研究基因组学和蛋白质组学在理解肺部疾病方面的研究，并概述未来工作应采取的方向。2)通过设立旅行奖励计划，促进青年科学家广泛参与本次会议，重点关注妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。3)通过展示最新的最新进展，使新的研究人员和学生有兴趣在肺部疾病的基因组学和蛋白质组学研究中寻求研究机会，总体目标是这些新数据如何在我们的理解中证明有用

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to seek support for an APS Conference on "Physiological Genomics and Proteomics of Lung Disease," scheduled for November 2-5, 2006 in Florida. The first goal of this conference is to bring together senior and young MD and PhD researchers in different areas of lung disease, together with basic scientists in the field of genomics and proteomics from other areas of investigation, to discuss the progress that has been made in the utilization of these powerful tools of genomics and proteomics in understanding lung disease and to outline the direction that future work should take. The program is designed to allow prominent and up-and-coming researchers in the field of lung biology and disease to present their work, particularly to highlight the use of state-of-the-art tools in genomics, proteomics and metabolomics in their study of lung disease. The second goal is to stimulate, educate and encourage young investigators who are still in training to enter this field of investigation and to provide a forum for them to interact with more established investigators. To this end, many travel awards will be made available for scientists-in-training and special poster-discussion sessions will be held where they can present their work. The specific aims of this proposal include: 1) To convene an internationally recognized and interdisciplinary group of investigators to an APS Conference focusing on the study of genomics and proteomics in understanding lung disease and to outline the direction that future work should take. 2) To promote the wide-spread participation of young scientists in this Conference, with an emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities, through the establishment of a travel award program. 3) To interest new investigators and students in pursuing research opportunities in the study of the genomics and proteomics of lung disease by presenting the latest state-of-the-art advances with the overall objective of relating how this new data may prove useful in our understanding of lung biology from genomics and physiology to disease.
