VASCULATA 2013: Vascular Immunology

描述（由申请人提供）：Vasculata-2013将于2013年7月29日至8月1日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行，加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）作为主要主办机构，与拉霍亚过敏和免疫学研究所（LIAI）和斯克里普斯研究所（TSRI）联合举办。Vasculata-2013的具体目标是：目标1：通过为学员提供集中的学习经验，激励来自不同学科的年轻研究者进入血管生物学领域。目标2：通过与领先的研究人员进行最先进的演讲和科学交流，使新的研究人员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，加强对血管生物学最新实验方法的了解和理解。目标4：通过海报展示和非正式互动，让年轻的研究者与血管生物学领域的知名科学家进行互动。血管-2013会议将是血管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)关注影响动脉粥样硬化，高血压，动脉瘤和其他血管疾病的血管免疫学和血管炎症，3)提供研讨会，将为受训者提供第一手经验与血管生物学相关的前沿方法。Vasculata 2013的师资队伍由来自三个赞助机构的核心师资组成。哈佛大学的Andrew Lichtman是主讲人。这些教师包括来自不同学科的研究人员，包括发育生物学、血管生理学、生物化学、巨噬细胞生物学、系统生物学、基因组学和脂质组学、血管免疫学、临床科学和生物标志物。2013年血管展还将强调有关少数民族和妇女血管疾病以及新发血管疾病的新信息。总体而言，Vasculata-2013会议有望为研究生、本科生和博士后提供丰富的研究培训经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vasculata-2013 will be held in San Diego, California from July 29 to August 1, 2013 with the University of California San Diego (UCSD) serving as the lead host institution in conjunction with the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology (LIAI) and the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). The specific aims of Vasculata-2013 are: Aim 1: To inspire young investigators from a variety of disciplines to enter the field of vascular biology by providing trainees with a concentrated learning experience. Aim 2: To 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: To enhance exposure to 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-2013 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) focusing on vascular immunology and vascular inflammation that impact atherosclerosis, hypertension, aneurysms and other vascular diseases, 3) providing workshops that will provide the trainees with first-hand experience with cutting- edge methods relevant to vascular biology. The faculty for Vasculata 2013 consists of core faculty from the three sponsoring institutions. Andrew Lichtman of Harvard University is the keynote speaker. These faculty members include investigators from varied disciplines including developmental biology, vascular physiology, biochemistry, macrophage biology, systems biology, genomics and lipidomics, vascular immunology, clinical science and biomarkers. Vasculata 2013 will also emphasize new information regarding vascular diseases in minorities and women, and emerging vascular diseases. Overall, the Vasculata-2013 conference promises to be a rich research training experience for graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs.
