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.

项目概要/摘要此 R13 申请请求资金支持第 25 届北美睾丸研讨会，重点关注 “睾丸中的终生细胞间相互作用：男性生育能力的驱动因素”将于 2019 年 4 月 3 日至 6 日在丽兹酒店举行伊利诺伊州芝加哥卡尔顿会议将在美国男科学会召开之前举行。年会将于 4 月 6 日至 9 日在同一地点举行。 Testis 研讨会计划包括四个主要讲座（主题演讲和三个基准）讲座），以及 15 个受邀演讲，分为以下五个会议：睾丸中的细胞间相互作用形成（第一部分），生殖细胞分化响应局部和内分泌因素（第二部分），体细胞功能对局部因素的反应（第三部分），睾丸功能对人造因素的反应化学物质（第四部分）和病原体对睾丸功能的影响（第五部分）。会议将以从年轻研究者（实习生和实习生）提交的摘要中选出的简短演讲结束。助理教授任职时间不超过 2 年）。两次海报会议，展示所有海报。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础和睾丸治疗的首屈一指的国际论坛。临床医生科学家展示并讨论他们关于睾丸调节和功能的最新发现。研讨会吸引了 150-200 名参加者，其中约 30% 是实习生，它也吸引了科学家。来自美国境外的项目组织者、与会者和演讲者所请求的 R13 资金。旨在帮助支付 8 名年轻调查员的旅费，他们被选为进行简短会谈提交的摘要，以及 19 名受邀演讲者的部分住房费用。研讨会的目的是： 1) 传播专家信息，以便更好地理解 (a) 动物和人类睾丸生殖细胞的发育以及（b）睾丸细胞类型的作用，激素和外源性影响（例如病毒、人造化学物质等）对生殖细胞发育的影响和生育能力；2）促进沟通和科学交流，为创造良好的机会与同行合作，最终实现职业和科学发展，从而确保睾丸领域生物学未来将继续发展；3）培养该领域未来领导者的发展，重点关注学员、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。
