2014 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Investigative Pathology

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是为将于4月26日至30日在圣地亚哥会议中心举行的美国调查病理学学会（ASIP） 2014年年会寻求支持，该年会将与实验生物学会议一起举行。ASIP年会提供了一个独特的论坛，展示和分享实验病理学的前沿研究。会议的目标受众和主题是多种多样的，但由于对疾病机制的共同关注而统一起来。2014年年会反映了ASIP成员的利益，包括肿瘤的重要组成部分，包括三阴性乳腺癌的发病机制；肿瘤发生的新机制；肺癌个体化治疗；利用单细胞基因组学解码肺癌；利用动物模型开发人类癌症疗法；伤口愈合和癌症之间的联系；感染因子在上皮癌中的作用以及干细胞在心脏修复中的应用。此外，几次会议将介绍与癌症研究直接相关的病理分析技术的进展。为期五天的计划包括两个创新的全天，单一主题的“会议中会议”，专题讨论会，讲习班和获奖者的讲座，以及摘要驱动的小型研讨会和海报会议。该方案进一步提供了一些教育举措，既针对和感兴趣的生物医学研究界作为一个整体。这些会议包括关于科学出版诚信的会议；有效谈判的艺术；以及保护人类和动物实验对象。ASIP将促进培训生和年轻研究人员的职业发展作为年会的一个极其重要的方面。因此，会议提供了满足其需要的特别活动和展示其工作的会议。同样，项目委员会努力确保妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与。该申请的唯一具体目标是通过扩大旅行奖励和指导计划，以及为研究生、博士后、临床住院医师和病理学研究员以及职业生涯早期的教师提供特别会议，促进学员和初级研究人员参与年会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to seek support for the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP), which will be held at the San Diego Convention Center on April 26-30, in conjunction with the Experimental Biology convention. ASIP's Annual Meeting provides a unique forum for presentation and sharing of cutting-edge research in experimental pathology. The target audience and subject matter for the meeting are diverse but united by a common focus on mechanisms of disease. Reflecting the interests of the ASIP membership, the 2014 Annual Meeting includes strong components in neoplasia, including topics such as pathogenesis of triple-negative breast cancer; novel mechanisms of oncogenesis; personalized therapies for lung cancer; use of single-cell genomics to decode lung cancer; use of animal models to develop therapies for human cancer; links between wound healing and cancer; the role of infectious agents in epithelial carcinomas; and use of stem cells for cardiac repair. In addition, several sessions will present advances in techniques for pathological analysis that have direct relevance to the study of cancer. The five-day program comprises two innovative full-day, single-topic "meetings-within-a- meeting," symposia, workshops, and lectures by award recipients, as well as abstract-driven minisymposia and poster sessions. The program further provides a number of educational initiatives, both targeted and of interest to the biomedical research community as a whole. These include sessions on integrity in scientific publishing; the art of effective negotiation; and protection of human and animal subjects in research. ASIP regards promotion of the career development of trainee and young investigators as an extremely important aspect of the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the meeting provides special events designed for their needs and sessions that showcase their work. Similarly, the Program Committee works hard to ensure participation of women and under-represented minorities. The sole specific aim of this application is to promote the participation of trainees and junior investigators in the Annual Meeting through expansion of travel award and mentoring programs and provision of special sessions targeted to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, clinical residents and fellows in pathology, and faculty in the early stages of their careers.
