The New Directions in Down Syndrome Research Conference will be held in Toronto, Canada, under the auspices of the National Down Syndrome Society (United States) and the Down Syndrome Research Foundation (Canada). The conference will be convened under the direction of the NDSS Science Advisory Board, in collaboration with an Organizing Committee, consisting of prominent Canadian researchers. The two-day conference will review and document the current status of Down syndrome-specific research in the five areas of Genetics; Psychobiology; Health Care; Aging and Alzheimer's Disease; and Mental Health. It will also review current knowledge about applying research findings to clinical practice, in order to help individuals with Down syndrome reach their full potential. New directions in Down syndrome research will also be explored. Plenary sessions will cover a variety of topics, including: an overview of genetic research; mapping and sequencing of the 21st chromosome; bio-ethical issues; psycho-social issues; speech, language and cognition; basic research; and bridging the gap between basic and applied research. Plenary speakers and some presenters will be selected by invitation. A call for papers will generate additional topics and speakers. There will also be poster sessions for scientists to present their work, particularly focused on younger investigators. The meeting will provide the opportunity for participants from the United States, Canada and around the globe, to interact with colleagues, synthesize and share knowledge, develop new collaborations, and generate ideas about practical applications. This conference will help to facilitate progress in research and practice on Down syndrome.

唐氏综合症研究会议的新方向将在加拿大多伦多，国家唐氏综合症协会（美国）和唐氏综合症研究基金会（加拿大）举行。 该会议将在NDSS科学顾问委员会的指导下与由加拿大著名研究人员组成的组织委员会合作。为期两天的会议将审查并记录遗传学五个领域的唐氏综合症特定研究的当前状态；心理生物学；卫生保健;衰老和阿尔茨海默氏病；和心理健康。 它还将回顾有关将研究结果应用于临床实践的当前知识，以帮助唐氏综合症患者的全部潜力。 还将探索唐氏综合症研究的新方向。全体会议将涵盖各种主题，包括：遗传研究概述；第21染色体的映射和测序；生物伦理问题；心理社会问题；语音，语言和认知；基础研究；并弥合基础研究和应用研究之间的差距。 全体演讲者和一些演讲者将通过邀请选择。 征询论文的呼吁将产生其他主题和扬声器。还将举办海报会议供科学家展示他们的作品，特别是专注于年轻的研究人员。 该会议将为来自美国，加拿大和全球各地的参与者提供与同事互动，综合和共享知识，开发新的合作并产生有关实际应用的想法的机会。这次会议将有助于促进唐氏综合症研究和实践的进步。
