描述（由申请人提供）： 第八届世界微循环大会将是一个为期四天的国际研究人员会议，研究微循环在健康和疾病中的结构和功能。该科学计划侧重于微循环研究的五个中心主题，包括：1）血管发育和适应; 2）血流调节; 3）微循环研究方法在临床中的应用; 4）微血管通透性;和5）研究微循环的新兴方法。世界知名专家将在为期四天的大会上举行的一系列全会讲座、专题讨论会和研讨会上讨论微循环研究界感兴趣的主题。世界大会将包括科学会议，海报会议，以及微循环和血管生物学社区当前感兴趣的各种主题的研讨会。口头报告将包括由世界各地的各种微循环协会赞助的正式研讨会，自由交流，以及由一个研讨会式讲座组成的专题会议，然后是提交摘要的口头报告。研讨会将包括关于资助策略的小组讨论，关于微血管研究的新兴方法和实验方法的圆桌讨论，以及微血管研究中新基因组方法的使用。世界大会将讨论的主要领域是：1）微血管技术在临床研究中的应用; 2）癌症中新血管的生长以及运动或血流阻塞后的新血管生长; 3）干细胞在研究和医学中的潜在用途; 4）新的遗传方法在微血管研究中的应用; 5）新的显微镜和非显微镜成像方法在微血管研究和临床环境中的应用;以及6）使用数学方法作为在局部和全局水平上理解微循环功能的工具。世界大会将有助于：1）扩大微循环研究人员的研究能力; 2）向血管生物学家和其他微循环方法有益但未得到充分利用的领域的研究人员介绍微血管技术; 3）增加微循环方法对人类研究和临床医学的适用性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 8th World Congress for Microcirculation will be a four day meeting of international researchers studying the structure and function of the microcirculation in health and disease. The scientific program focuses on five central themes in microcirculatory research including: 1) vascular development and adaptation; 2) blood flow regulation; 3) application of microcirculatory research approaches to the clinic; 4) microvessel permeability; and 5), emerging methods for studying the microcirculation. Renowned world experts will address topics of interest to the microcirculatory research community during a series of plenary lectures, symposia and workshops delivered over the four-day assembly. The World Congress will include scientific sessions, poster sessions, and workshops on a wide variety of topics of current interest to the microcirculatory and vascular biology communities. Oral presentations will include formal symposia sponsored by various microcirculatory societies throughout the world, free communications, and featured topics sessions consisting of one symposium-style lecture followed by oral presentations of submitted abstracts. Workshops will include panel discussions on funding strategies, round table discussions on emerging methodology and experimental approaches to microvascular research, and the use of novel genomic approaches to microvascular research. Major areas to be addressed during the World Congress are: 1) the application of microvascular techniques to clinical research; 2) the growth of new blood vessels in cancer and following exercise or obstruction of blood flow; 3) the potential use of stem cells in research and medicine; 4) the application of novel genetic approaches to microvascular research; 5) the application of new microscopic and non-microscopic imaging approaches to microvascular research and clinical settings; and 6), the use of mathematical approaches as a tool for understanding microcirculatory function on a local and global level. The World Congress will help to: 1) expand the research capabilities of microcirculatory investigators; 2) introduce microvascular techniques to vascular biologists and other researchers in areas where microcirculatory approaches would be beneficial, but are underutilized; and 3), increase the applicability of microcirculatory approaches to human research and clinical medicine.
