The 2015 Grover Conference

 描述（由申请人提供）：2015年格罗弗会议，“肺循环和RV在”组学“时代：对发病机制的新见解”，将集中在肺血管疾病和右心室功能障碍的分子机制。这是第17届发展和细胞生物学家，遗传学家，生理学家，生物化学家和翻译研究人员的两年一度的会议，主要关注肺循环和右心室对压力的反应;它是独一无二的亲密论坛，汇集了 科学家和医学科学家的所有阶段的科学兴趣和职业发展。平台会议将重点介绍各种类型的“组学”技术以及与肺血管疾病相关的最新发现。每场会议将由该领域的一名专家主持，并将邀请演讲者以及从提交的摘要库中选出的平台演讲者。会议的重点将是使用系统生物学方法来整合多个平台的数据，以推进科学发现。已经有意识地努力吸引来自相关学科的成熟研究者，他们可以补充目前专注于肺血管系统的研究者的专业知识，并努力纳入RV。由讨论带头人主持的讨论将是所有会议的重要组成部分。优秀的初级研究人员将获得旅费赠款，并有机会以平台和海报形式展示他们的研究。海报会议将按主题组织，并将与当天平台会议上提出的主题相关。所有与会者在一个非正式的环境中一起用餐和社交，这有利于讨论和合作。将尽一切努力让妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参加演讲。会议的目标是提供一个论坛，讨论肺部疾病的分子和细胞基础，介绍前沿研究，整合概念，并确定创造性和创新性的研究方向。1

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2015 Grover Conference, `The Pulmonary Circulation and RV in the `-omics' era: new insights into pathogenesis', will focus upon the molecular mechanisms of pulmonary vascular disease and right ventricular dysfunction. This is the 17th biannual conference of developmental and cellular biologists, geneticists, physiologists, biochemists, and translational researchers with a primary interest in the pulmonary circulation and right ventricular response to stress; it is unique for its intimate forum which brings together scientists and physician-scientists of all stages of scientific interest and career progression. Th platform sessions will highlight various types of `-omics' technologies and the recent discoveries of relevance to pulmonary vascular disease. Each session will be chaired by an expert in the field and will have invited speakers as well as platform speakers chosen from the pool of submitted abstracts. Among session highlights will be a focus on the use of systems biology approaches to integrate data across multiple platforms to advance the scientific discoveries. There has been a conscious effort to attract established investigators from related disciplines who can complement the expertise of the current pool of investigators focused on the pulmonary vasculature, as well as an effort to include the RV. Discussion facilitated by a discussion leader will be an important component of all sessions. Outstanding junior investigators will be awarded travel grants and will be given the opportunity to present their research in platform and poster formats. The poster sessions will be organized thematically and will be designed to relate to the topics presented in the platform sessions that day. All conference participants dine and socialize together in an informal setting which is conducive to discussion and collaboration. Every effort will be made to include women and underrepresented minorities among the presenters. The Conference goals is to provide a forum for to discuss the molecular and cellular basis of lung disease, to present cutting edge research, to integrate concepts and to identify creative and innovative research directions. 1
