项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New York Academy of Sciences is planning an important 1 day conference entitled, "Probiotics: From Bench to Market." This meeting will be held on June 11, 2010 at the New York Academy of Sciences, New York. The principal investigator for this conference is Dr. Tri Duong, PhD, Assistant Professor, Texas A&M University. Other experts on the scientific organizing committee are Dr. Howard Young, PhD, Section Head, Cellular and Molecular Immunology Section, Laboratory of Experimental Immunology, National Cancer Institute; Dr. Mary Ellen Sanders, PhD, Consultant, Dairy and Food Culture Technologies; Ms. Marguerite Klein, Health Science Administrator, Office of Dietary Supplements, NIH; and Dr. Kathy Granger, PhD, Senior Program Manager, The New York Academy of Sciences. The therapeutic potential of probiotics has led western society to embrace the idea of consuming probiotics for health. An increased understanding of the mechanisms responsible for probiotic activity, the development of technologies based on probiotic platforms, and clinical trials will enable scientists to develop probiotic products to improve nutrition, as therapeutics to treat diseases, or to deliver vaccines. This meeting will convene basic and clinical scientists from academia and industry to work together in a rational, scientific manner to develop a mechanistic understanding of probiotic functionality, and to select specific probiotic organisms for the development of safe and effective products for the consumer. Participants will include both established and young career scientists/clinicians, providing a platform for the next generation to enter this field. Furthermore this conference is anticipated to increase communication and subsequent collaboration between complimentary research groups. Our conference "Probiotics: From Bench to Market" will bring these communities together in a neutral environment to increase communication and collaboration to advance probiotic research and public health. This meeting will convene basic and clinical scientists from academia and industry to work together in a rational, scientific manner to develop a mechanistic understanding of probiotic functionality. Furthermore, participants will examine current and ongoing clinical trials recommended for a probiotic product to reach the market.

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约科学院正在计划召开一次为期一天的重要会议，题为“益生菌：从实验室到市场”。本次会议将于2010年6月11日在纽约州纽约科学院举行。本次会议的首席研究员是德克萨斯农工大学助理教授 Tri Duong 博士。科学组织委员会的其他专家包括国家癌症研究所实验免疫学实验室细胞和分子免疫学科科长 Howard Young 博士； Mary Ellen Sanders 博士，乳制品和食品文化技术顾问； Marguerite Klein 女士，美国国立卫生研究院膳食补充剂办公室健康科学管理员；以及纽约科学院高级项目经理 Kathy Granger 博士。益生菌的治疗潜力使西方社会接受了食用益生菌以促进健康的理念。对益生菌活性机制的进一步了解、基于益生菌平台的技术开发和临床试验将使科学家能够开发益生菌产品来改善营养，作为治疗疾病的疗法或提供疫苗。本次会议将聚集学术界和工业界的基础和临床科学家，以理性、科学的方式共同努力，对益生菌的功能有一个机械的认识，并选择特定的益生菌，为消费者开发安全有效的产品。参与者将包括成熟的和年轻的职业科学家/临床医生，为下一代进入该领域提供平台。此外，预计这次会议将加强互补研究小组之间的沟通和后续合作。我们的会议“益生菌：从实验室到市场”将把这些社区聚集在一个中立的环境中，以加强沟通和合作，以推进益生菌研究和公共卫生。本次会议将召集来自学术界和工业界的基础和临床科学家，以理性、科学的方式共同努力，对益生菌功能产生机械性的理解。此外，参与者还将审查当前和正在进行的针对益生菌产品推向市场的临床试验。
