项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding to support the 2015 International Molecular and Functional Pulmonary Imaging Workshop, a three-day meeting scheduled for November 12-14, 2015. The proposed workshop will be the fifth of its kind held at the University of Pennsylvania. The funds will be used to cover travel and lodging expenses of expert and trainee speakers. They will also support the webcasting and publication of the entire proceeds of the workshop. As we have done in the past, we plan to broadcast the workshop live over the web to be freely accessed by interested parties who cannot physically attend. Pulmonary diseases are a massive and growing cause of global morbidity and mortality, and the field of imaging has become an important source of innovation in diagnosing and treating these pathologies. Pulmonary imaging now comprises a litany of techniques for functional, structural, and molecular assessment being rapidly developed and refined by investigators in numerous fields including biology, medicine, physics, engineering, and chemistry. In light of the diverse and fast-changing nature of the field, regularly holding a workshop that brings together pulmonary imaging scientists and clinicians for the rigorous exchange of ideas is imperative. To our knowledge, our workshops are the only venues that include each major component of the field in a space solely dedicated to pulmonary imaging. The specific aims of the proposed workshop are as follows: (1) inform the pulmonary imaging community about the latest developments in structural and functional lung imaging; (2) explore fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying serious lung diseases and how they can be imaged with cutting-edge techniques; (3) examine the use of pulmonary imaging for assessing therapeutic response and the challenges inherent to this objective; (4) broadcast the entire proceedings live over the web to be freely accessed by non- attendees and allow this audience to participate in workshop discussions in real time. Of these components, two are novel to this iteration of the pulmonary imaging workshop. While in our 2013 workshop we introduced molecular lung imaging to the proceedings to complement our traditional focus on functional and structural approaches, the proposed 2015 meeting will much more thoroughly focus on molecular techniques. It will include discussion of the whole range of molecular approaches, including PET and SPECT, hyperpolarized 13C MR, and optical imaging as well as talks on lung biology designed to spur the development of novel molecular probes. The explicit focus on imaging techniques to assess therapeutic response is also a new aspect of the workshop. The development of successful treatments for lung diseases has been stunted by a lack of imaging approaches for the effective measurement of response. A greater emphasis on this issue reflects the urgency of developing better imaging techniques for therapeutic assessment.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请请求资金支持 2015 年国际分子和功能肺成像研讨会，该研讨会定于 2015 年 11 月 12 日至 14 日举行，为期三天。拟议的研讨会将是在宾夕法尼亚大学。这些资金将用于支付专家和实习演讲者的旅费和住宿费，他们还将支持研讨会整个会议记录的网络广播和出版。过去，我们计划通过网络直播研讨会，供无法亲自参加的感兴趣人士免费观看。肺部疾病是全球发病率和死亡率的一个重要且日益严重的原因，而影像领域已成为一个重要来源。诊断和治疗这些病理学的创新包括一系列功能、结构和分子评估技术，这些技术正在由生物学、医学、物理学、工程学和化学等众多领域的研究人员迅速开发和完善。多样化和据我们所知，我们的研讨会是唯一一个在一个空间中囊括该领域各个主要组成部分的场所。拟议研讨会的具体目标如下：（1）向肺部成像界通报结构和功能性肺部成像的最新进展；（2）探索严重肺部疾病和疾病的基本细胞和分子机制。 (3)检查使用情况用于评估治疗反应的肺部成像以及该目标所固有的挑战；（4）通过网络直播整个过程，以供非与会者自由访问，并允许观众实时参与这些组成部分的研讨会讨论。，其中两个对于本次肺部成像研讨会来说是新颖的。虽然在 2013 年研讨会中，我们将分子肺部成像引入到会议中，以补充我们对功能和结构方法的传统关注，但拟议的 2015 年会议将更加彻底地关注分子技术。它将包括对整个范围的讨论分子方法，包括 PET 和 SPECT、超极化 13C MR 和光学成像，以及旨在促进新型分子探针开发的肺部生物学讲座，明确关注评估治疗反应的成像技术也是研讨会的一个新方面。由于缺乏有效测量反应的成像方法，肺部疾病成功治疗的发展受到阻碍。对这个问题的更大重视反映了开发更好的成像技术用于治疗评估的紧迫性。
