项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract This R13 application requests funds to support the XXVth North American Testis Workshop focused on “Lifelong cell-cell interactions in the testis: a driver for male fertility,” to be held April 3-6, 2019 at The Ritz- Carlton Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. The meeting will be held just before the American Society of Andrology annual meeting, which will take place on April 6-9 at the same location. The Testis Workshop program includes four major lectures (the keynote address and three benchmark lectures), and 15 invited talks that are grouped into five sessions as follows: Cell-cell interactions in testis formation (Session I), Germ cell differentiation in response to local and endocrine factors (Session II), Somatic cell function in response to local factors (Session III), Testicular function in response to man-made chemicals (Session IV), and Pathogen effects on testis function (Session V). After the invited talks, sessions will end with short talks selected from abstracts submitted by young investigators (trainees and Assistant Professors in rank for no more than 2 years). Two poster sessions, with all posters displayed throughout the meeting, are also planned. All attendees are encouraged to submit posters. Since 1972, the North American Testis Workshop has been the premiere international forum for basic and clinician-scientists to present and discuss their recent findings on testis regulation and function. The Workshop attracts 150-200 attendees, approximately 30% of whom are trainees. It also attracts scientists from outside the United States as program organizers, attendees and speakers. The requested R13 funds are intended to help defray travel costs for 8 young investigators who are selected for short talks from submitted abstracts, and part of the housing costs for the 19 invited speakers. The main goals for the Workshop are to: 1) disseminate expert information that will provide better understanding of (a) the development of germ cells in the testes of animals and humans and (b) the role of testicular cell types, hormones and exogenous influences (e.g. viruses, man-made chemicals etc.) on germ cell development and fertility; 2) foster communication and scientific exchange in order to create excellent opportunities for collaboration with peers and ultimately career and scientific growth, thus ensuring that the field of testis biology will continue to advance in the future; and 3) foster the development of the field’s future leaders, with emphasis on trainees, women and underrepresented minorities.

项目摘要/摘要此R13申请要求资金支持XXVTH北美Testis研讨会的重点 “睾丸中的终身细胞 - 细胞相互作用：男性生育的驱动力”，将于2019年4月3日至6日在丽思卡尔顿芝加哥，芝加哥，伊利诺伊州。会议将在美国雄科学会面前举行年度会议将于4月6日至9日在同一地点举行。 TESIS研讨会计划包括四个主要讲座（主题演讲和三个基准讲座）和15次邀请的会谈，分为五个会话，如下：睾丸中的细胞 - 细胞相互作用形成（I），响应局部和内分泌因素（II），生殖细胞分化，响应局部因素（会议III）的体细胞功能，响应人造的有效功能化学物质（IV）和病原体对睾丸功能的影响（S会V）。在被邀请会谈之后，会议将以年轻调查员提交的摘要（培训和培训和排名的助理教授不超过2年）。两个海报会议，所有海报显示在整个会议期间，还计划。鼓励所有与会者提交海报。自1972年以来，北美睾丸研讨会一直是基本和临床科学家介绍和讨论他们有关睾丸调节和功能的最新发现。研讨会景点150-200名与会者，其中约30％是培训。它也吸引了科学家来自美国以外的计划组织者，与会者和演讲者。请求的R13资金旨在为8名年轻调查员提供赔偿旅行费用，这些调查员被选中提交的摘要，以及19名受邀发言人的住房费用。主要目标研讨会是：1）传播专家信息，这些信息将更好地理解（a）在动物和人类测试中生殖细胞的发展，（b）测试细胞类型的作用，恐怖和外在影响（例如病毒，人造化学物质等）对生殖细胞发育和生育； 2）建立沟通和科学交流，以创造出色的机会与同龄人的合作，最终的职业和科学成长，从而确保了睾丸领域生物学将来将继续发展； 3）促进该领域未来领导人的发展，强调受训者，妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。
