SLB 36th Annual Leukocyte Meeting

描述(由申请者提供)：向美国国立卫生研究院申请资助将于2003年10月2日至5日在宾夕法尼亚州费城的Doubletree酒店举行的第36届白细胞生物学年会的部分资金。这次会议的题目是“解开炎症”，重点是复杂的细胞-细胞相互作用和参与宿主防御和炎症的机制，包括炎症的解决。会议将：(T)探索与炎症有关的细胞类型，(2)探索与炎症研究相关的疾病和疾病模型，以及(3)突出治疗急性炎症和与慢性炎症相关的疾病的最新进展。我们将结合来自不同专业的研究人员的互动，创建一种多学科的方法来研究效应细胞宿主的防御和炎症，以及炎症的解决。这次会议由查尔斯·瑟尔汉博士担任科学项目主席，琳达·麦克菲尔博士担任共同主席。确认的演讲者名单包括1982年诺贝尔奖获得者本特·萨缪尔森博士和约翰·韦恩爵士作为主旨演讲人，M·阿明·阿瑙特博士、蒂莫西·拉和加勒特·菲茨杰拉德作为全体讲师。我们请求部分支持学生和初级科学家(博士后和临床研究员，初级教员)参加会议。由于会议的地点和计划，我们预计将有大约300-400人出席，至少有75名学生/博士后研究员申请参加。大约50%的研讨会发言者将从提交的摘要中挑选出来。学生和博士后申请者的摘要将被特别考虑口头参与。该协会还主办了博士后和研究生杰出演讲的颁奖比赛(总统奖)。此外，该学会还选出了G.Jeanette Thorbecke奖的获奖者，该奖项旨在表彰在宿主防御、炎症和白细胞生物学的细胞和分子机制领域工作的应得的年轻女性研究员。我们要求为本次比赛的获胜者提供部分注册和旅费支持。总体而言，我们希望为参与宿主防御和炎症的不同群体之间的互动提供一个论坛，并确定当前尚未满足的临床挑战和未来的任务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested from NIH for partial support of the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology, to be held at the Doubletree Hotel in Philadelphia, PA, October 2-5, 2003. The meeting is entitled "Unraveling Inflammation," and is focused on the complex cell-cell interactions and mechanisms involved in host defense and inflammation, including the resolution of inflammation. The meeting will: (t) explore cell types involved in inflammation, (2) explore the diseases and disease models relevant to the study of inflammation, and (3) highlight recent advances in treating acute inflammation and the diseases associated with chronic inflammation. We will combine interactions of researchers from different subspecialties to create a multidisciplinary approach to effector cell host defense and inflammation, and the resolution of inflammation. The meeting features Dr. Charles Serhan as the Scientific Program Chair and Dr. Linda McPhail as Co-Chair. The confirmed speaker list includes Dr. Bengt Samuelsson and Sir John Vane, 1982 Nobel Laureates, as keynote speakers, and Drs. M. Amin Arnaout, Timothy Hla, and Garrett Fitzgerald, as plenary lecturers. We request partial support for participation at the meeting by students and junior scientists (postdoctoral and clinical fellows, junior faculty). Because of the location and program for the meeting, we anticipate attendance of approximately 300-400 people, with at least 75 students/postdoctoral fellows applying to attend. Approximately 50% of the symposia speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts. Abstracts from student and postdoctoral fellow applicants will be given special consideration for oral participation. The society also sponsors an awards competition of outstanding presentations given by postdoctoral and graduate students (Presidential Awards). In addition, the society chooses a recipient of the G. Jeanette Thorbecke award, which is intended for a deserving young female investigator working in the area of cellular and molecular mechanisms of host defense, inflammation, and leukocyte biology. We request partial support for registration and travel expenses for the winner of this competition. Overall, we hope to provide a forum for interaction of diverse groups involved in host defense and inflammation and to identify the current unmet clinical challenges and tasks ahead.
