项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a meeting on "Tropical Infectious Diseases: from bench to field" as part of the Gordon Research Conference series to be held in Galveston, Texas, Feb. 10-15, 2013. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to increase our understanding of host-pathogen-vector interactions with the aim of developing new insights for controlling Tropical Infectious Diseases (TIDs). The specific aims of this meeting are to convene 33 speakers representing critical areas of tropical disease research with a total of 150 participants for a five-day conference in a relatively isolate, relaxed setting. The program will open with two keynote presentations addressing present global needs for infectious disease research. The conference will focus on the diseases for which most significant recent progress is being made and on those of the highest medical importance. The sessions will cover arboviral and enteric diseases, filariasis, leishmaniasis, malaria, tuberculosis, and vector-pathogen interactions. Each session will consider recent basic discoveries in the areas of pathogen genomics, cell biology, and immunology in the context of the most current findings from field-based epidemiologic studies and intervention trials. The conference will close with two keynote presentations that provide outstanding examples of basic and applied research, emphasizing how pathogen biology can be explored for disease control and the challenges of vaccine development. Four afternoon poster sessions will permit all participants to contribute to these topics. The significance of this application is that the Gordon Research Conference on TIDs provides a forum that brings together multidisciplinary members of the international research community on tropical diseases. The intent is to promote discussions from basic to applied questions and to generate "cross-fertilization" among different specialties and fields of knowledge while establishing a community of scientists interested in TIDs. The health relatedness of this application is that the discussions will define the important questions on basic science as they relate to the development of new strategies to control the most important tropical diseases affecting over one-sixth of the world's population.

描述（申请人提供）：该提案要求对“热带传染病：从长凳到领域的会议”进行部分支持（TIDS）。这次会议的具体目的是召集33位代表热带疾病研究关键领域的讲话者，共有150名参与者在相对孤立，放松的环境中进行为期五天的会议。该计划将开启两个主题演讲，以满足当前对传染病研究的全球需求。该会议将重点关注最近取得最大进展以及最重要的医学重要性的疾病。这些会议将涵盖丁香病毒和肠道疾病，丝虫病，利什曼病，疟疾，结核病和载体 - 病原体相互作用。每个会议将在病原体基因组学，细胞生物学和免疫学领域的最新基本发现中，在基于现场的流行病学研究和干预试验的最新发现的背景下。该会议将结束两个主题演讲，这些主题演讲为基础研究和应用研究提供了出色的例子，并强调了如何探索病原体生物学的疾病控制和疫苗开发的挑战。四个下午的海报会议将使所有参与者都可以为这些主题做出贡献。该应用的意义是戈登 TIDS研究会议提供了一个论坛，该论坛汇集了国际热带疾病研究界的多学科成员。目的是促进从基本问题到应用问题的讨论，并在不同的专业和知识领域之间产生“交叉利用”，同时建立对TIDS感兴趣的科学家社区。该应用程序的健康相关性是，讨论将定义基础科学上的重要问题，因为它们与开发新策略的发展，以控制影响世界超过六分之一人口的最重要的热带疾病。
