Young Investigator Programs at the 42nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the ISEH - S

描述(申请人提供)：ISEH 42年度科学会议将于8月22-25日在奥地利维也纳帝国骑马学校文艺复兴酒店举行。科学计划包括总统座谈会和全体讲座，有领先的国际研究人员参加，以及口头和海报会议，展示从提交的摘要中挑选出来的开创性研究。重点放在新调查人员的出席、陈述和网络上。这次会议的学生和博士后出席率现在接近50%，这让他们有机会相互交流，也有机会与资深科学家互动。去年参加会议的有425人，其中包括191名学生或博士后/研究员。ISEH的董事会和领导层，以及ISEH年度会议的教职员工都由该领域的知名专家代表，这使这次会议成为一个真正独特的会议，根本无法复制。科学委员会非常自豪地汇集了延续ISEH卓越科学传统的教员和内容。今年的科学计划以以下领域的会议为特色：细胞和基因治疗、基因调控、白血病血红素发育、细胞动力学、利基和模型系统、细胞凋亡和造血系癌症的世系承诺调控会议通过提供青年研究人员奖和旅行补助金以及与国际领先研究人员见面和联网的机会，积极促进该领域的年轻研究人员和新兴领导者的参与。年轻的研究人员已经成为2013年更加关注的焦点，有多个项目专门设计，以增强新科学家的体验，同时继续为资深研究人员提供无与伦比的科学知识。一个积极的新研究人员委员会与领导层合作，重复成功的活动：青年研究人员职业小组(两次会议，发言者讨论科学领域的替代职业以及如何在学术界有效地寻找工作)；会见教授午餐(新研究人员报名参加，通过积极对话与他们选择的专家科学家坐在一起--这项活动在2012年销售一空，80名新调查人员参加)，以及青年调查人员网络活动。此外，2012年还增加了一项新活动：青年调查员会议，发言者和专题由新调查员委员会选定。今年的演讲者是罗斯·莱文。与美国或世界其他地区规模更大、范围更广的科学活动相比，这次会议的规模小，确保了青年研究人员的突出地位，并使这一活动对他们和整个科学界更有价值。年轻的研究人员也有相当高的机会被选为抽象演示文稿，因为他们代表了与会者的相当大比例。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ISEH 42 Annual Scientific Meeting will be held from August 22-25 in Vienna, Austria at the Imperial Riding School Renaissance Hotel. The scientific program comprises presidential symposia and plenary lectures featuring leading international researchers, as well as oral and poster sessions presenting ground-breaking research selected from submitted abstracts. A great emphasis is placed on the attendance, presentation, and networking of new investigators. The meeting's attendance by students and post-docs now approaches nearly 50 percent, giving them the opportunity to interact both with each other and with senior scientists. Last year's meeting attendance of 425 included 191 students or post-docs/fellows. The Board and leadership of ISEH, and the faculty of the ISEH annual meeting is represented by prestigious experts in the field, making this a truly unique meeting that simply isn't reproducible. The Scientific Committee takes great pride in assembling both faculty and content that continue in the ISEH tradition of scientific excellence. This year's scientific program features sessions in the following areas: Cell and Gene Therapy Gene Regulation Leukemia Heme Development Cellular Dynamics, the Niche, and Model Systems Apoptosis and Hematopoietic Cancers Regulation of lineage commitment The meeting proactively fosters the participation of young investigators and emerging leaders in the field by providing young investigator awards and travel grants, and opportunities for meeting and networking with leading international researchers. Young Investigators have become an even greater focus for 2013, with multiple programs especially designed to enhance the experience for newer scientists while continuing to provide unparalleled science for senior investigators. An active New Investigator Committee has worked with leadership to repeat successful activities: The Young Investigator Career Panel (two sessions with speakers addressing Alternate Careers in Science AND How to Mount an Effective Job Search in Academia); the Meet the Professor Lunch (with new investigators signing up to be seated at the table with the expert scientist of their choice with active dialogue - this activity sold out in 2012, with 80 new investigators attending), and the Young Investigator Networking event. Additionally, a new event was added in 2012: the Young Investigator session, with the speaker and topic selected by the New Investigator Committee. This year's speaker is Ross Levine. The small size of this meeting assures Young Investigators a prominent place, and makes this event more valuable to them and to the scientific community as whole, as compared to the much larger and broader scientific events in the USA or other parts of the world. Young Investigators also have a considerably higher chance of being selected for an abstract presentation, because they represent a significant percentage of attendees.
