VASCULATA-2012

描述（由申请人提供）：Vasculata-2012将于2012年7月25日至28日在田纳西州纳什维尔举行，范德比尔特大学医学院将与肯塔基州大学医学院和Meharry医学院一起作为主要主办机构。Vasculata-2012将实现以下具体目标：目标1：通过为学员提供入门学习经验，吸引来自不同学科的年轻研究人员进入血管生物学领域。 目标二：通过最先进的演示和与领先研究者的科学交流，引导新研究者了解血管生物学知识前沿的广度和深度。目标3：通过教学讲座和实践研讨会的结合，提高对血管生物学最新实验方法的了解和认识。 目的4：让年轻的研究者通过海报展示和非正式的互动与血管生物学领域的知名科学家进行互动。 Vasculata-2012会议将是Vasculata系列的一个独特的补充：1）提供广泛的相关研究主题，从基本概念到临床研究，2）向与会者介绍新认识到影响血管生物学的领域，3）提供研讨会，为学员提供与血管生物学相关方法的第一手经验。Vasculata 2012的教师由来自三个赞助机构的核心教师和来自其他机构的精心挑选的专家组成。这些教师 成员包括来自不同学科的研究人员，包括发育生物学，基质生物学，血管免疫学，临床科学和遗传流行病学。Vasculata 2012还将强调有关少数民族和妇女血管疾病以及第三世界新兴血管疾病的新信息。总的来说，Vasculata-2012会议有望成为一个令人兴奋的和独特的丰富的研究培训经验。公共卫生相关性：高血压、中风和冠心病等血管疾病对公共卫生和临床的影响是我国死亡和残疾的主要原因。血管生物学的科学学科仍然是一个相对年轻的领域，在该学科中受过训练的科学专家数量很少。Vasculata研究培训会议系列是科学界的重要国家资源，为血管生物学和相关领域的下一代生物医学科学家提供了研究培训和职业发展的宝贵论坛。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vasculata-2012 will be held in Nashville, Tennessee from July 25-28, 2012 with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine serving as the lead host institution in conjunction with University of Kentucky College of Medicine and Meharry Medical College. Vasculata-2012 will fulfill the following specific aims: Aim 1: Inspire young investigator from a variety of disciplines to enter the field of vascular biology by providing trainees with an introductory learning experience. Aim 2: Orient new investigators to the breadth and depth of the frontiers of knowledge of vascular biology through state-of-the-art presentations and scientific interchange with leading investigators. Aim 3: Enhancing exposure and understanding of the latest experimental approaches employed in vascular biology by a combination of didactic lectures and hands-on workshops. Aim 4: To allow young investigators to interact with established scientists in vascular biology via poster presentations and informal interactions. The Vasculata-2012 conference will be a distinctive addition to the Vasculata series by: 1) providing a wide range of relevant research topics ranging from basic concepts to clinical research, 2) introducing attendees to fields newly recognized to impact vascular biology, 3) providing workshops that will provide the trainees with firsthand experience with methods relevant to vascular biology. The faculty for Vasculata 2012 consists of core faculty from the three sponsoring institutions and carefully selected experts from other institutions. These faculty members include investigators from varied disciplines including developmental biology, matrix biology, vascular immunology, clinical science and genetic epidemiology. Vasculata 2012 will also emphasize new information regarding vascular diseases in minorities and women, and emerging vascular diseases in the third world. Overall, the Vasculata-2012 conference promises to be an exciting and uniquely rich research training experience. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The public health and clinical impact of vascular diseases such as hypertension, stroke and coronary heart disease are the major causes of death and disability in our nation. The scientific discipline of vascular biology remains a relatively young field with a small critica mass of scientific experts trained in the discipline. The Vasculata research training conference series serves as a critical national resource to the scientific community by providing an invaluable forum for research training and career development for the next generation of biomedical scientists in vascular biology and related fields.
