项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funds to support the International Conference on Cell Death, to be held at Shanghai National Accounting Institute, Shanghai, China, June 6-9 2008. The theme of the conference will be "Targeting cell death pathways for human diseases". Because of the close interaction between basic research and targeted clinical research in China and Japan, this locale is particularly suitable as a site at which US scientists can learn new approaches and interact effectively across a broad spectrum of interests. Our meeting will address the means by which the decision of a cell to die is modulated and triggered. These topics are of particular interest to the fields of gerontology, immunology, neurology, and oncology. With these considerations as well as the need for specific targeting of intervention, this is a most propitious time to bring together basic researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical researchers from several nations. There will be two poster sessions. Emerging scientists are given good exposure by interspersing short talks, chosen from submitted abstracts, at strategic points among the invited talks. The schedule is adapted to the customs of China and allows ample time for formal and informal discussions and socializing. An important aspect of our meetings has been a wrap-up talk, which summarizes the major new findings, traces emerging trends, and provides guidance for future trends. Our meeting will address the idea of how to go from basic research to development of methods for therapeutic interventions and targeting cell death pathways for human diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请请求资金支持将于 2008 年 6 月 6 日至 9 日在中国上海国家会计学院举行的国际细胞死亡会议。会议的主题是“针对细胞死亡人类疾病的途径”。由于中国和日本基础研究和有针对性的临床研究之间的密切互动，这里特别适合作为美国科学家学习新方法并在广泛的兴趣领域进行有效互动的场所。我们的会议将讨论调节和触发细胞死亡决定的方法。这些主题对于老年学、免疫学、神经学和肿瘤学领域特别感兴趣。考虑到这些因素以及特定干预目标的需要，现在是将来自多个国家的基础研究人员、临床医生和药物研究人员聚集在一起的最佳时机。将有两次海报展示会。通过在受邀演讲中的战略要点上穿插从提交的摘要中选择的简短演讲，新兴科学家可以获得良好的曝光度。日程安排适合中国的习俗，并留有充足的时间进行正式和非正式的讨论和社交。我们会议的一个重要方面是总结演讲，它总结了主要的新发现，追踪了新兴趋势，并为未来趋势提供了指导。我们的会议将讨论如何从基础研究到开发治疗干预方法和针对人类疾病的细胞死亡途径的想法。
