项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Retinal and choroidal angiogenesis accounts for the majority of all blindness in developed countries. Because of its profound economic and quality-of-life impact, ocular angiogenesis is an intensely studied process and the field is advancing at an alarming pace. Thus, it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the information coming from the growing group of investigators interested in ocular and retinal angiogenesis. It is time to take stock, to focus on the important and potentially beneficial aspects of the collective research, and to summarize our progress to date. The primary goal of the forthcoming Symposium on Retinal and Choroidal Angiogenesis is to promote the exchange of current information and ideas among basic and clinical scientists in order to foster advances in our understanding of basic mechanisms and development of therapeutic interventions for angiogenic eye conditions. Special effort has been made to encourage new investigators to attend, to recruit established investigators with both clinical and basic science backgrounds, and to provide ample opportunity for the two groups to interact. We have reached a point in this field where there is strong common interest among basic and clinical scientists in understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying these retinal conditions. This meeting will be responsible for fostering collaborative research projects that will provide vital new information. The symposium will feature a rich mixture of investigators, ranging from cell and developmental biologists to clinician-scientists from major research/clinical centers throughout the U.S. The meeting will be held in Nashville, TN on October 15 - 16, 2004. The program will have 8 platform sessions, dedicated time for poster presentations, and 2 keynote lectures. The program is finalized and includes basic information on molecular and cellular mechanisms of retinal and choroidal angiogenesis, detailed descriptions of in vitro and animal models of angiogenic retinal conditions, applications of new mechanistic theories to human disease pathogenesis, and novel therapeutic strategies for treatment of these conditions. The keynote lectures will be delivered by two nationally known investigators from the field of tumor angiogenesis. Kluwer Academic Publishers will publish the proceedings of the symposium in the form of a book, with each invited speaker contributing a chapter. J. Donald M. Gass, M.D. has agreed to write an introduction. In this application we request funds to support travel and registration costs of 20 young investigators and 2 keynote speakers.

描述（由申请人提供）：在发达国家，大部分失明是由视网膜和脉络膜血管生成造成的。由于其对经济和生活质量的深远影响，眼部血管生成是一个经过深入研究的过程，并且该领域正在以惊人的速度发展。因此，管理来自越来越多对眼部和视网膜血管生成感兴趣的研究人员的信息变得越来越困难。现在是时候进行盘点，关注集体研究的重要和潜在有益的方面，并总结我们迄今为止的进展。即将召开的视网膜和脉络膜血管生成研讨会的主要目标是促进基础科学家和临床科学家之间当前信息和想法的交流，以促进我们对血管生成性眼部疾病的基本机制和治疗干预措施的理解的进展。我们特别努力鼓励新的研究人员参加，招募具有临床和基础科学背景的资深研究人员，并为两个群体提供充足的互动机会。我们在这一领域已经达到了这样一个阶段：基础科学家和临床科学家对了解这些视网膜疾病的基本机制有着强烈的共同兴趣。这次会议将负责促进合作研究项目，提供重要的新信息。研讨会将有来自美国主要研究/临床中心的细胞和发育生物学家以及临床科学家等众多研究人员参加。会议将于 2004 年 10 月 15 日至 16 日在田纳西州纳什维尔举行。 8 场平台会议、专门的海报展示时间和 2 场主题演讲。该计划已完成，包括视网膜和脉络膜血管生成的分子和细胞机制的基本信息，血管生成性视网膜病症的体外和动物模型的详细描述，新机制理论在人类疾病发病机制中的应用，以及治疗这些疾病的新治疗策略状况。主题演讲将由肿瘤血管生成领域的两位全国知名研究人员进行。 Kluwer学术出版社将以书的形式出版研讨会论文集，每位受邀演讲者贡献一章。 J. Donald M. Gass 医学博士已同意撰写介绍。在此申请中，我们请求资金来支持 20 名年轻研究人员和 2 名主讲人的旅行和注册费用。
