IBMS Sun Valley Workshop on Musculoskeletal Biology

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请申请支持2014年8月3日至6日在爱达荷州太阳谷举行的太阳谷骨骼生物学研讨会年会。研讨会有40年的传统，强调初级教师和学生的积极参与。研讨会促进了跨学科的交流，不同寻常的是，讨论的时间等于或超过了正式演讲的时间。研讨会的目标是：(1)致力于与骨和关节疾病的发病、预防和治疗相关的分子、组织和生物力学过程的多学科基础和临床合成；(2)发展基础和临床研究者之间的对话；(3)为初级教师和学生提供培训讲习班，帮助弥合学科之间的差距；(4)为学生培训提供论坛，并为初级研究人员提供在小组环境中与更资深的科学家交谈的机会。研讨会与国际骨与矿物协会（IBMS）之间的伙伴关系通过IBMS BoneKEy广播电子邮件和IBMS网站上的链接提供了最大的知名度。今年，研讨会的主题是骨骼与其他器官系统的相互作用，会议将集中讨论神经肽对骨骼过程的调节、骨骼脆性和血管钙化之间的关联、骨骼肌与骨骼生物学和生物力学特性之间的关联、骨骼与免疫系统的相互作用以及肠道微生物组对骨骼健康的调节。为初级调查人员提供了许多与高级调查人员互动的机会。一个下午将举行一个专门针对年轻研究人员的职业发展讲习班。周日晚上的会议是一个全体演讲，随后是一个海报会议，重点介绍提交的摘要。9位ASBMR/Harold M. Frost青年研究者奖获得者将在讲台上展示他们的工作。研讨会的摘要将通过IBMS BoneKEy提供。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for the annual meeting of the Sun Valley Workshop on Skeletal Biology held in Sun Valley, Idaho, August 3-6, 2014. The Workshops have a 40 year tradition, and emphasize active participation of junior faculty and students. The Workshops promote interdisciplinary communication, and are unusual in that discussion time equals or exceeds time allotted for formal presentation. The goals of the Workshop are to (1) work toward a multidisciplinary basic and clinical synthesis of molecular, tissue and biomechanical processes related to the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of bone and joint diseases; (2) develop a dialogue between basic and clinical investigators; (3) provide training workshops for junior faculty and students that help bridge the gaps between disciplines; (4) provide a forum for student training and the opportunity for junior investigators o talk with more senior scientists in a small group setting. A partnership between the Workshop and the International Bone and Mineral Society (IBMS) provides maximum visibility through IBMS BoneKEy broadcast emails and links on the IBMS website. This year, the Workshop will address the theme of The Interaction of Bone with Other Organ Systems through sessions focused on the Regulation of Skeletal Processes by Neuropeptides, the Association Between Bone Fragility and Vascular Calcification, the Association between Skeletal Muscle and Bone Biological and Biomechanical Properties, the Interaction of Bone and the Immune System, and the Regulation of Bone Health by the Gut Microbiome. Many opportunities are provided for junior investigators to interact with more senior investigators. A Career Development Workshop specifically geared toward young investigators will be held during one afternoon. The Sunday evening session is set aside for a Plenary Lecture, followed by a Poster Session highlighting submitted abstracts. Nine ASBMR/Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awardees will present their work from the podium. A summary of the workshop will be provided through IBMS BoneKEy.
