Epithelial Transport Group Symposia at Experimental Biology 2014

描述(由申请人提供)：此申请是一项资金申请，以支持早期职业上皮生理学家(本科生和研究生，以及博士后研究员)参加并在实验生物学(EB)2014年期间的上皮运输小组(ETG)科学会议上展示他们的工作的费用。ETG是美国生理学会(APS)年会的一部分。ETG和APS会议将于2014年4月26日至30日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行，在EB会议的框架下举行。自20世纪70年代S以来，ETG一直是APS认可的小组。1992年之前，ETG成为APS内的官方小组。ETG的创建是为了将来自不同APS部门的上皮运输生理学家聚集在一起，这些部门通常是基于对不同器官系统的研究而组织的。与往年一样，EB 2014的ETG科学会议旨在促进来自不同背景的上皮生理学家之间的互动。我们的会议为上皮生理学实习生提供了一个联合论坛，让他们展示自己的工作，并从不同机构的更资深科学家那里获得反馈，否则他们就不会与实习生互动。ETG组织的讲座、座谈会和海报会议提供了许多联网机会，促进初级上皮生理学家的职业发展。ETG领导层鼓励属于代表性不足群体的科学家和实习生提交报告。所有ETG会议都提供了一个论坛，初级与会者以口头和/或海报演示的形式介绍他们的工作，并从更资深的科学家那里获得反馈。在ETG主席摩西·利维博士的领导下，ETG于2008年发起了Ussing讲座。这一讲座表彰了对我们理解上皮运输和上皮运输疾病做出基本贡献的科学家，特别是在与膜通道相关的主题方面。最近的获奖者包括托马斯·克利曼博士、彼得·阿伦森博士、保罗·昆顿博士、彼得·阿格雷博士、托马斯·詹奇博士和丽莎·萨特林博士。2011年，ETG设立了史蒂夫·赫伯特讲座，以表彰在上皮运输领域做出根本性贡献的科学家。第一个获奖者是2011年的欧内斯特·赖特博士，紧随其后的是2012年和2013年的比尔·古吉诺博士和杰拉尔多·甘巴博士。计划在2014年举行的ETG研讨会是“上皮细胞贩运”。专题是“上皮细胞转运蛋白、细胞旁转运和调节蛋白的调节”，其中将包括免费的交流报告以及来自大学的Steve Hebert Awardee Paul Well博士的口头报告。马里兰州。第二个免费交流的专题是“上皮细胞离子和水通道的调节，以及调节蛋白”，将包括今年的Ussing讲师，来自大学的Eleanor Leder博士。路易斯维尔。我们相信，通过提供独特的学习/参与机会，并促进与加州圣地亚哥EB 2014大会上更广泛的上皮运输生理学社区成员的联系，这一应用程序获得的支持将促进初级上皮生理学家的科学和个人职业发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for funding to support the expenses that early career epithelial physiologists (undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-doctoral fellows) to participate and present their work at Epithelial Transport Group (ETG) scientific sessions during Experimental Biology (EB) 2014. The ETG is part of the American Physiological Society (APS) annual meeting. The ETG and APS meetings will take place April 26-30, 2014 in San Diego, CA, under the umbrella of the EB Meeting. The ETG has been a recognized group by the APS since the 1970's. Before 1992 the ETG became an official Group within APS. The ETG was created to bring together epithelial transport physiologists from different APS sections, which are usually organized based on the study of different organ systems. As in previous years, the ETG scientific sessions at EB 2014 are designed to promote interaction between epithelial physiologists from diverse backgrounds. Our sessions provide a collegial forum for epithelial physiology trainees to present their work and to get feedback from more senior scientists from different institutions that would otherwise not interact with the trainees. The lectures, symposia and poster sessions organized by the ETG offer many networking opportunities that potentiate the career advancement of junior epithelial physiologists. The ETG leadership encourages submissions from scientists and trainees that belong to underrepresented groups. All ETG sessions provide a forum where junior attendees present their work as oral and/or poster presentations and obtain feedback from more senior scientists. Under the leadership of the ETG Chair Dr. Moshe Levi, in 2008 the ETG instituted the Ussing Lecture. This lectureship recognizes scientists who have made fundamental contributions to our understanding of epithelial transport and diseases of epithelial transport, especially in topics related to membrane channels. Recent awardees include Drs. Thomas Kleyman, Peter Aronson, Paul Quinton, Peter Agre, Thomas Jentsch and Lisa Satlin. In 2011, the ETG established the Steve Hebert Lecture to recognize scientist who have made fundamental contributions in the field of epithelial transport. The first awardee was Dr. Ernest Wright in 2011, followed by Drs. Bill Guggino and Gerardo Gamba in 2012 and 2013. In 2014 the planned ETG Symposium is "Trafficking in Epithelial Cells". The featured topics are "Regulation of Epithelial Transporters, Paracellular Transport, and Regulatory Proteins", which will include free communication presentations along with an oral presentation by the Steve Hebert Awardee Dr. Paul Welling from the Univ. of Maryland. The second featured topic with free communications is "Regulation of Epithelial Ion and Water Channels, and Regulatory Proteins" and will include this year's Ussing Lecturer, Dr. Eleanor Lederer from Univ. of Louisville. We believe that the support derived from this application will enhance the scientific and personal career development of junior epithelial physiologists, by affording unique learning/participation opportunities and promoting contact with the wider epithelial transport physiology community members at EB 2014 in San Diego, CA.
