2014 Drug Resistance Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：耐药性的全球性问题从发展中国家延伸到高度发达国家，影响到所有传染病和癌症的治疗。广泛的研究在了解耐药性机制方面取得了重大进展，并最终在克服个别疾病状态下的某些耐药性方面取得了重大进展。然而，在一个领域研究耐药性的科学家很少将他们的方法、技术和发现与另一个领域研究耐药性的科学家进行比较和对比。例如，研究抗肿瘤药物耐药性机制的基因组图谱的科学家可能不会与研究抗菌剂对细胞反应的基因组图谱的科学家讨论他们的发现。2014年戈登耐药研究会议的目标是汇集来自多个学科的科学家，分享他们关于耐药的知识，从而为如何解决这一全球性问题创造新的知识和想法。为此，我们有三个具体目标。首先，我们将邀请来自各个领域的演讲者和讨论领导者，包括各种传染病模式，癌症和农业科学，在正式会议上分享他们的最新发现。第二，我们将邀请从广泛角度研究耐药性的参与者在几个下午的会议上展示海报，分享他们的知识。我们还将重点邀请和支持年轻科学家、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的参与，特别是鼓励每位参与者通过海报会议分享他们的工作。在正式会议期间，我们还将邀请一些精心挑选的海报展示者分享他们的作品。第三个目标是通过下午和晚上的会议促进讨论，通过人与人之间的联系、思想的分享和网络来促进社区的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The global problem of drug resistance extends from developing countries to those that are highly developed, affecting the treatment of all infectious diseases and cancer. Extensive research has afforded significant progress in understanding the mechanisms of drug resistance and ultimately, in overcoming some cases of drug resistance in individual disease states. However, it is rare that scientists studying drug resistance in one fiel compare and contrast their methods, technologies and findings with scientists studying drug resistance in another field. For example, scientists studying genomic profiling of resistance mechanisms in response to antineoplastic agents may not discuss their findings with scientists studying genomic profiling of cells in response to antibacterial agents. The goal of this 2014 Gordon Research Conference on Drug Resistance is to bring together scientists from multiple disciplines to share their knowledge on drug resistance, thus enabling the creation of new knowledge and ideas for how to approach this global problem. To accomplish this, we have three specific aims. One, we will invite speakers and discussion leaders from a variety of fields including various infectious disease modalities, cancer and agricultural science to share their latest findings in formal sessions. Two, we will invite participants who are studying drug resistance from a wide range of perspectives to share their knowledge during presentation of posters in several afternoon sessions. We will also focus on inviting and supporting the participation of younger scientists, women and underrepresented minorities, especially encouraging each participant to share their work through the poster sessions. A select group of these poster presenters will also be invited to share their work during the formal sessions. A third goal is to foster discussion through afternoon and evening sessions to facilitate the growth of the community through human bonds, the sharing of ideas and networking.
