DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 12th International Cytomegalovirus and Beta-Herpesvirus Workshop will be held on May 10-14, 2009 in Boston, MA. The meeting is unique in that there is significant participation from clinicians/clinical researchers (in addition to basic science and industry scientists) in addition to offering visibility to junior attendees given the modest meeting size. The scientific program encompasses all aspects of cytomegalovirus, HHV6 and HHV7 biology including basic science, genome sequencing, immunologic regulation, animal models, clinical disease, epidemiology, new therapeutics, vaccines, transplantation, and clinical aspects of transplantation biology. Based on past workshops and the strong interest in a Boston venue for this meeting, we anticipate between 300-400 registrants. This application requests funds to be used solely to offer travel support for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior researchers to both recognize quality science and further encourage participation from junior scientists. CMV is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunosuppressed patients including organ and tissue transplant recipients and AIDS patients. Moreover, CMV is the leading cause of birth defects associated with an infectious agent. HHV6 causes roseola infantum, a febrile illness of children and mounting evidence suggests that HHV6 contributes to organ rejection in transplant patients and may exacerbate neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis. The 12th International Cytomegalovirus and ¿-Herpesvirus Workshop is the premier meeting of scientists and clinicians to share discoveries in basic virology and clinical science with the goal of improving the management of infections by these viruses.

说明（由申请人提供）：第 12 届国际巨细胞病毒和 β-疱疹病毒研讨会将于 2009 年 5 月 10 日至 14 日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。该会议的独特之处在于，驻院/临床研究人员（除了鉴于会议规模不大，科学计划涵盖了巨细胞病毒、HHV6 和 HHV7 生物学的各个方面，包括基础科学和行业科学家）。根据过去的研讨会以及对本次会议在波士顿举办的浓厚兴趣，我们预计将在基础科学、基因组测序、免疫调节、动物模型、临床疾病、流行病学、新疗法、疫苗、移植和移植生物学的临床方面进行讨论。 300-400 名注册者要求资金仅用于为研究生、博士后研究员和初级研究人员提供旅行支持，以认识到高质量科学并进一步鼓励初级科学家的参与。此外，CMV 是导致婴儿玫瑰疹（一种儿童发热性疾病）的感染因子相关的出生缺陷的主要原因，并且越来越多的证据表明 HHV6 会导致器官排斥。在移植患者中，可能会加剧多发性硬化症等神经退行性疾病第 12 届国际巨细胞病毒和 ¿ -疱疹病毒研讨会是科学家和爱好者的首要会议，旨在分享基础病毒学和临床科学的发现，旨在改善对这些病毒感染的管理。
