2008 AUA/SBUR Summer Research Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 2008年美国泌尿外科协会基金会/基础泌尿研究学会(AUA Foundation/SBUR)夏季研究会议(SRC)的题目是“性医学”。2008年是SRC成立的第16个年头，延续了我们在泌尿外科研究人员职业生涯的关键早期阶段培养他们的职业生涯的历史。这次会议得益于新的调查人员和成功的高级研究人员在舒适、非正式的环境中的协同作用。会议的教职员工是生物统计学、临床试验、生活质量和患者评估问题等领域的领导者，因为它们与泌尿学研究有关。会议将分为八个主要会议：阴茎平滑肌生物学、男性性反应调节系统、女性性功能障碍、实验动物疾病状态模型、新的勃起信号机制、佩罗尼氏病科学、勃起恢复的分子战略和保存性功能的未来战略。讲座内容包括“鞘氨醇-1磷酸信号”、“神经调节”、“代谢综合征的动物模型”、“对运动和热量限制的影响”、“糖尿病模型”、“间充质/内皮干细胞”和“成纤维细胞的遗传学”。小组讨论将以“撰写助学金和完成研究的实用指南”为题。除了传统的讲座外，还将有小组讨论，嘉宾演讲者理查德·豪博士的特别演讲，教职员工将邀请初级研究人员参加一对一和小组讨论。最重要的交流机会将在会议第一天晚上的辅导晚宴和讨论中进行。会议的主要议题，性医学研究与国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所在新的泌尿科研究人员的开发和未来的成功以及为合作研究努力建立基础方面的使命一致。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2008 American Urological Association Foundation/Society for Basic Urologic Research (AUA Foundation/SBUR) Summer Research Conference (SRC) is entitled "Sexual Medicine." 2008 marks the 16th year of the SRC, extending our history of nurturing the career of urology investigators in the pivotal early stages of their careers. This meeting benefits from the synergy of new investigators and successful senior researchers in a comfortable, informal setting. The faculty members of the meeting are leaders in the fields of biostatistics, clinic trials, quality of life, and patient assessments issues as they relate to urologic research. The meeting will be broken into eight main sessions: Smooth Muscle Biology in the Penis, Regulatory Systems of the Male Sexual Response, Female Sexual Dysfunction, Experimental Animal Disease State Models, Novel Erection Signaling Mechanisms, Science of Peyronie's Disease, and Molecular Strategies for Erection Recovery and Future Strategies to Preserve Sexual Function. Talks range from "Sphingosine-1 Phosphate Signaling," "Neuroregulation," "Animal Models of Metabolic Syndrome," "Impact on Exercise and Caloric Restriction," "Diabetic Models," "Mesenchymal/Endothelial Stem Cells," and "Genetics of Fibroblasts." A panel discussion will be conducted on "Practical Guides to Writing Grants and Getting Research Done." In addition to the traditional lectures, there will be a panel discussion, a special presentation from guest speaker, Dr. Richard Howe, and faculty members will engage junior investigator attendees in one-on-one and small group discussion. The most important occasion for networking will take place at the Mentoring Dinner and Discussion on the first night of the conference. The main topics of the meeting, sexual medicine research are congruent with the mission of the National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases in the development and future success of new urologic research investigators and establishing a foundation for collaborative research efforts.
