项目摘要

Project Summary This application seeks funding support for the 2017 Molecular and Cellular Biology of Helminth Parasites Meeting that brings together principal investigators, students and postdoctoral fellows from around the world to present important new findings, interact, develop new collaborations, and promote the importance of research on parasitic helminths. The 2017 (11th) meeting will be held during the first week of September, 2017. This meeting was established in 1997 with the intent to provide a collegial meeting for scientists to exchange ideas, develop new strategies for basic and applied research on these neglected diseases of poverty, and to bring to the field new concepts and technologies emerging from studies on C. elegans and other free-living helminths. The meeting consists of 100 participants and due to increased demand is now held every year. The conference represents the key and currently the only venue that unites researchers in the field, provides an important mechanism for dissemination of new and key studies, and provides a critical opportunity for recruiting new researchers and retaining existing researchers in the field. While helminth parasites are a major health problem, enticing and keeping scientist working on these often difficult to work with pathogens is an ongoing and critical battle. The meeting has played a significant role in fostering this community, playing an important and integral part in the development, growth, and continued advancements of the field. Because of the way it is structured, the meeting provides a unique opportunity to highlight student, postdoctoral and new junior faculty in the field. The meeting provides a valuable opportunity for participation of scientists from countries endemic for helminthic diseases and for the participation of under-represented minority trainees and scientists from the USA. The conference covers all major areas of helminth research in 12 thematic sessions with almost all participants contributing oral or poster presentations. The research areas include genomics, immunology, molecular biology, cell biology, drug development and tropical medicine. The location in Hydra, Greece was chosen for equal travel access for the international community and proximity to endemic countries. The meeting size and the small and quiet, traffic-free town provides ample facilities for interactions between delegates, fosters community development, and a special atmosphere of concentrated science, interactive discussions and generous opportunities for informal follow-ups. Importantly, the conference organizers request feedback following each meeting and continuously implement new formats and approaches to improve the meeting.

项目摘要该应用寻求为蠕虫寄生虫的2017年分子和细胞生物学提供资金支持会议汇集了来自世界各地的主要调查员，学生和博士后研究员提出重要的新发现，互动，发展新的合作并促进研究的重要性在寄生虫上。 2017年（第11届）会议将在2017年9月的第一周举行。会议成立于1997年，目的是为科学家提供一次会议，以交换思想，制定有关这些被忽视的贫困疾病的基本和应用研究的新策略，并带来领域的新概念和技术来自对秀丽隐杆线虫和其他自由生活的蠕虫的研究。会议由100名参与者组成，由于需求增加，每年都会举行需求。这会议代表了关键，目前是唯一团结该领域研究人员的场所传播新研究和关键研究的重要机制，并为招募新研究人员并保留该领域的现有研究人员。而蠕虫寄生虫是主要的健康问题，诱人和使科学家在这些经常难以与病原体一起工作的工作是一个正在进行的和批判性的战斗。这次会议在培养这个社区，扮演一个重要角色在该领域的发展，增长和持续进步中重要而不可或缺的一部分。由于它的结构方式，会议提供了一个独特的机会，可以突出学生，博士后和新的机会该领域的初级教师。会议为科学家的参与提供了宝贵的机会蠕虫疾病的特有国家以及代表性不足的少数民族学员和来自美国的科学家。该会议涵盖了12个主题会议中的所有主要领域几乎所有参与者都会贡献口头或海报演示。研究领域包括基因组学，免疫学，分子生物学，细胞生物学，药物发育和热带医学。九头蛇的位置选择希腊是为国际社会的同等旅行而选择的，并靠近地方性国家。会议的规模和小而安静，无交通的小镇为互动提供了充足的设施代表，促进社区发展以及集中科学的特殊氛围，互动讨论和非正式随访的慷慨机会。重要的是，会议组织者每次会议之后请求反馈，并不断实施新的格式和方法以改进会议。
