DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pan-American Society for Pigment Cell Research (PASPCR) is preparing to hold its 18th Annual meeting in Madison, Wisconsin on September 8-11, 2013. The theme for the meeting, "Advances in Melanocyte and Melanoma Biology" was chosen by the organizing committee for the following reasons: 1) There is a need for a conference dedicated to bring together melanocyte biologists and clinicians studying melanocytic disorders. While investigation of mammalian melanocyte biology is driven by the need to better understand the pathogenesis of human pigmentary disorders, investigations on pigment cell disorders in turn have helped uncover general and novel aspects of cellular biology. 2) The theme reflects a unique strength of University of Wisconsin-Madison with a long tradition of multidisciplinary departments and training programs that foster research interactions in wide ranging areas biology and medicine, including pigment cell biology and melanoma. The specific aims of this application for the 2013 conference are to (1) provide opportunity throughout the meeting for basic and clinical scientists to present and interact on wide ranging topics of pathogenesis and treatment of pigmentary diseases, including roles of UV and melanin in pigment disorders, (2) highlight recent advances in the areas of cell biology, biochemistry, immunology, genomics and personalized medicine, and (3) bring together experts from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise to provide high intensity intellectual experience, and opportunities for collaboration. The scientific program is designed to accommodate 125-150 attendees for a 21/2 day conference that includes 5 symposia, 10 oral sessions, 5 poster sessions, 2 workshops for young investigators with senior investigators and an honorary lecture by the recipient of 2013 Aaron B. Lerner Award. The oral sessions are designed to provide opportunity for young investigators to present their research based on submitted abstracts and selected by blinded peer- review in the following areas: Biology of melanin pigmentation and transformed melanocyte, UV-induced changes in skin pigmentation and cutaneous carcinogenesis, Developmental biology and melanocyte stem cells, Immune response to melanocyte antigens, and Studies focusing on translational research. The organizing committee has identified several basic scientists and clinical experts from across the US and Canada as invited speakers. The invited speakers have been asked to provide a brief historic perspective of the topic, present latest findings from their research and highlight current challenges and opportunities in the field with the goal of stimulating discussion and collaborations between basic researchers and clinicians. Although members of PASPCR participate in other traditional discipline-oriented conferences, no forum other than PASPCR brings together the diversity of fields and interests represented in the current program.

描述（由申请人提供）：2013年9月8日至11日，泛美色素细胞研究协会（PASPCR）准备在威斯康星州麦迪逊举行第18届年度会议。会议的主题。《黑素细胞和黑色素瘤生物学的进步》（Teping in Melanocyte and Belanamoma sology）的进步是由组织组成的临床委员会，并将其组合起来：1）将群组组合起来。黑素细胞疾病。虽然对哺乳动物黑色素细胞生物学的研究是由更好地了解人类色素疾病的发病机理的需要驱动的，但对色素细胞疾病的调查又有助于发现了细胞生物学的一般和新方面。 2）主题反映了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的独特优势，其跨学科系和培训计划的悠久传统促进了广泛领域的研究互动，包括色素细胞生物学和黑色素瘤。该申请在2013年会议上的具体目的是（1）在整个会议期间提供机会，以供基础和临床科学家在广泛的发病机理和色素疾病治疗的主题上介绍和互动，包括紫外线和黑色素在色素疾病中的作用，（2）跨越细胞生物学，生物学，免疫学，基因学，基因学，基因学，基因学，基础学，基因学，基因学，基因学，基因学的最新进步和专业知识领域，以提供高强度的智力经验和合作机会。该科学计划旨在容纳125-150名与会者举行的21/2天会议，其中包括5个研讨会，10次口语会议，5次海报会议，2次与高级研究人员的年轻调查员和2013年Aaron B. Lerner奖的荣誉演讲。口头课程旨在为年轻的研究人员提供基于提交的摘要，并在以下领域中通过盲目的同伴评论而介绍其研究的机会：黑色素色素沉着和转化的黑素细胞的生物学，紫外线诱导的皮肤色素沉着的变化和皮肤癌变，发育生物学和黑素细胞茎细胞，不含粉状的凝聚力和梅兰素的凝聚力和黑色素型粉状群，梅兰细胞和黑色素细胞和黑色素细胞的凝聚力和黑素细胞和梅素细胞和黑色素细胞的凝聚力。组织委员会已确定来自美国和加拿大的几位基本科学家和临床专家，是邀请的演讲者。被邀请的演讲者被要求提供有关该主题的简短历史性观点，从他们的研究中提出了最新发现，并强调了当前的挑战和机遇，目的是刺激基础研究人员和临床医生之间的讨论和合作。尽管PASPCR的成员参加了其他以纪律为导向的传统会议，但除PASPCR以外，没有其他论坛汇集了当前计划中代表的领域和利益的多样性。
