28th International Workshop on Retroviral Pathogenesis

项目总结/摘要 逆转录病毒发病机制国际研讨会现已进入第28个年头， 就逆转录病毒的各个方面交流新的研究结果和概念的论坛 从分子机制到宿主病毒免疫参数的发病机制 互动会议将继续保持亲密，参与科学互动的传统， 逆转录病毒发病机制的所有方面，特别强调动物逆转录病毒作为模型， 人类疾病人类和动物的所有逆转录病毒属的逆转录病毒病原体是 科学陈述和热烈讨论的主题。研讨会的主题将包括 逆转录病毒进入和整合，复制和限制，装配，免疫应答， 肿瘤发生、发病机制、新的和新兴的病原体、内源性逆转录病毒，以及 疾病的动物模型。预计约有75名与会者，包括主要的 研究人员、博士后实习生和研究生。计划于2016年12月5 - 9日 在路易斯安那州的新奥尔良，会议的规模和形式都很小， 互动和深入的科学参与。会议培养专业人士 初级调查员的发展，让他们有机会介绍他们目前的 与一个由参与的同事组成的小组合作，并担任会议主持人。总体 会议的目标是提供一个论坛，促进持续的科学参与， 在逆转录病毒发病机制领域的创新概念进展和研究， 定义了会议将通过四个具体目标来实现这一目标：（1）汇集 该领域的国家和国际科学领导人，以及初级研究人员， （2）提供科学报告的机会， 作为一个小组进行讨论，穿插着更亲密的讨论机会， （3）为初级调查员、妇女和 通过科学陈述和/或指定为 会议主持人;及（4）提供注册奖学金，以优秀的本科生 学生和一名教员顾问从NIH资助的“建设”项目的参与者中选出， 不同生物医学研究人员独立的综合途径（BUILD） 泽维尔大学，一个领先的HBCU位于会议城市。

Project Summary/Abstract The International Workshop on Retroviral Pathogenesis, now in its 28th year, has long served as a forum for the exchange of new research findings and concepts on all aspects of retroviral pathogenesis from molecular mechanisms to the immunological parameters of host-virus interaction. The conference will continue a tradition of intimate, engaged scientific interaction on all aspects of retroviral pathogenesis with strong emphasis on animal retroviruses as models for human disease. Retroviral pathogens of humans and animals in all retroviral genera are the subject of scientific presentation and vibrant discussion. Topics at the workshop will include retrovirus entry and integration, replication and restriction, assembly, immune responses, oncogenesis, pathogenesis, new and emerging pathogens, endogenous retroviruses, and animal models of disease. Approximately 75 participants are anticipated, including principal investigators, postdoctoral trainees and graduate students. Planned for December 5 – 9, 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana, the small size and format of the conference supports concentrated interaction and deep scientific engagement. The conference fosters the professional development of junior investigators by affording them the opportunity to present their current work to a panel of engaged colleagues and to serve as session moderators. The overarching goal of the conference is to provide a forum that fosters continued scientific engagement leading to innovative conceptual advances and research in the area of retroviral pathogenesis, broadly defined. The conference will address this goal through four specific aims: (1) Bring together national and international scientific leaders in the field, together with junior investigators, postdoctoral and student trainees; (2) Provide opportunities for scientific presentations and discussions as a group, interspersed with more intimate opportunity for discussion and interaction; (3) Provide platform opportunities for junior investigators, women and underrepresented minority scholars through scientific presentation and/or designation as session moderators; and (4) Provide registration scholarships to outstanding undergraduate students and a faculty advisor selected among participants in the NIH-funded “Building Integrated Pathways to Independence for Diverse Biomedical Researchers (BUILD)” Program at Xavier University, a leading HBCU located in the conference city.
