Young Investigator programs at the 40th Annual Scientific Meeting of the ISEH - S

ISEH第40届年度科学会议将于8月25日至28日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华威斯汀酒店举行。科学计划包括总统专题讨论会和国际领先研究人员的全体讲座，以及同时进行的口头和海报讨论会议，介绍从提交的摘要中选出的突破性研究。科学委员会非常自豪地聚集了教师和内容，继续在ISEH科学卓越的传统。今年的科学项目包括以下内容：1 .重编程与表观遗传学2 . HSC生物学3 .祖细胞生物学4 .微环境5 .信号传导6 .转录控制7 .衰老8 .移植/基因治疗/再生医学9 .白血病（临床）10 .淋巴瘤11 .发育生物学12 .组织炎症13 .基因组学会议通过提供青年研究者奖和旅行资助，积极促进年轻研究者和新兴领导者在该领域的参与。以及与国际领先的研究人员会面和交流的机会。青年研究人员是2010年会议的重要焦点，会议计划和会议组织特别设计，为开创性的青年研究人员提供一个展示研究的场所，并促进与更有经验的同行的多种互动。与美国或世界其他地区的大型活动相比，这次会议的规模较小，确保了青年研究人员的突出地位，并使这次活动对他们和整个科学界更有价值。年轻的调查人员也有相当高的机会被选中进行抽象演讲，因为他们代表了与会者的很大比例。2010年墨尔本会议有138名青年研究者参加（占总出席人数的40%）。ISEH科学会议的这一至关重要的特点在这一科学领域的其他会议上并不典型。会议的小型性质促进了年轻研究者和经验丰富的知名研究者之间的良好互动，因此鼓励了这个快速发展领域的科学讨论。在本次会议上提出的科学内容和摘要在该领域的重要性是无与伦比的，是年轻研究者参加会议的基础。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ISEH 40th Annual Scientific Meeting will be held from August 25-28 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at the Westin Vancouver. The scientific program comprises presidential symposia and plenary lectures featuring leading international researchers, as well as concurrent oral and poster discussion sessions presenting ground-breaking research selected from submitted abstracts. The Scientific Committee takes great pride in assembling both faculty and content that continue in the ISEH tradition of scientific excellence. This year's scientific program features sessions on: 1 Re-programming and Epigenetics 2 HSC Biology 3 Progenitor Cell Biology 4 Microenvironment 5 Signaling 6 Transcriptional control 7 Aging 8 Transplantation/Gene Therapy/Regenerative Medicine 9 Leukemia (clinical) 10 Lymphoma 11 Developmental Biology 12 Tissue Inflammation 13 Genomics The meeting proactively fosters the participation of young investigators and emerging leaders in the field by providing young investigator awards and travel grants, and opportunities for meeting and networking with leading international researchers. Young Investigators are the important focus of the 2010 meeting, with a program and session organization especially designed to provide a venue for the presentation of research from ground-breaking Young Investigators and to foster multiple interactions with their more experienced peers. The small size of this meeting assures Young Investigators a prominent place, and makes this event more valuable to them and to the scientific community as whole, as compared to the larger events in the USA or other parts of the world. Young Investigators also have a considerably higher chance of being selected for an abstract presentation, because they represent a significant percentage of attendees. The 2010 Melbourne meeting hosted 138 young investigator attendees (40 percent of total attendance). This critically important feature of the ISEH scientific meeting is not typical at other meetings in this scientific space. The smaller nature of the meeting fosters excellent interaction between young investigators and experienced, well-known investigators, therefore encouraging scientific discourse in this fast-advancing field. The scientific content and abstracts presented at this meeting are unrivaled in importance in the field and are the basis for attendance by young investigators. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Society for Hematology and Stem Cells (ISEH) Annual Scientific Meeting is the yearly forum for the exchange and discussion of original, unpublished and significant research advances in the area of hematology and stem cell biology. It is a unique and essential worldwide gathering where promising Young Investigators from the US and other countries have the opportunity to meet with, learn from and present their findings to leading, highly-regarded researchers in the field from around the world. Though this grant, ISEH intends to make it possible for a large and representative number of Young Investigators and speakers from the USA to attend the August 25-28, 2011 ISEH 40th Annual Scientific Meeting in Vancouver, CA by offering those US researchers travel grants and contributions for lodging and meals.
