This series of meetings were initiated as the brainchild of Drs. Jack Griffith, Robert D. Wells and David L. Nelson only six years after the first unstable trinucleotide repeats were found to be disease-causing mutations of Kennedys disease, fragile X mental retardation, and myotonic dystrophy. At the time of the...
The aim of this course is to review the diagnostic value of imaging studies in head and neck malignancies, and to show the impact of such studies on patient management. Starting from normal radiological anatomy, the imaging characteristics of the different tumoral lesions occurring in this complex body region will...

Description: The goal is to develop a summary of current issues, controversies, and a prioritized set of plans and strategies to accomplish these goals.
The 2008 Discussions will address the regulatory roles of calmodulin in ion channel function with a focus on mechanisms of modulation, molecular determinants of protein interactions, structural principles of signaling complex organization, and the physiological consequences of signal transduction events. Because ion channels in situ can be studied directly and...
The conference will clarify the current state of newborn screening technologies and identify those areas in which additional research and/or pilot studies are required prior to these screening tests moving into clinical settings. Depending on the recommendations made by the conference attendees, NICHD and interested NIH ICs will respond through...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) announced the line-up for its upcoming, annual ALS research symposium, part of the fourth annual ALS TDI Leadership Summit. The symposium will take place this October 20th at the Beacon Hill Holiday Inn in Boston, Mass. A diverse panel of...
The leading cause of hyperthyroidism, Graves` disease represents a basic defect in the immune system, causing production of immunoglobulins (antibodies), which stimulate and attack the thyroid gland, causing growth of the gland and overproduction of thyroid hormone. Similar antibodies may also attack the tissues in the eye muscles and in...
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a unique and complex autoimmune syndrome affecting a variety of tissues and organ systems. The origins of SLE remain largely unexplained although elements of both innate and adaptive immune responses influence the initiation and perpetuation of disease. Moreover, environmental factors combined with both gender and...
Description:Â Goals of this conference are (a) a better awareness of these diseases in the hematology, oncology, and infectious disease community; (b) a working definition of these diseases; and (c) a framework for investigating the cause and treatment of these disorders. It is hoped that new clinical protocols will be developed...
Description:Â The main goal is to ascertain the state-of-the-art in hemispherectomy outcome as a precursor to preparing a protocol to test four assumptions stated above. Hemispherectomy studies need to consider the surgical management, neurological management of the effects of the hemispherectomy, and long-term outcomes. All will playa role in interpreting the...
Description:Â 1. Enhance collaboration and cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches among this widely dispersed community. 2. Provide opportunities for young immunotherapists to meet the ?giants? in the field and thus enhance their careers. 3. Provide the seeds for a collaborative network that would eventually represent a consortium of individuals working in...
Description:Â Education: This conference provides both didactic and participatory education for clinical trainees and junior faculty. Having the opportunity to see the challenges, strategies and successes of mentors/more experienced clinicians investigators ? all in a collegial, informal setting – will enrich the career training and mentoring of attendees. New Collaborations: Almost...
Description:Â This conference will bring together experts from diabetes, bone metabolism and inflammation, epidemiology, orthopaedics, and therapeutics to review our current understanding of Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) and discuss research opportunities on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of this rare but important condition.
Description:Â The goals of this workshop are to review the current state of affairs on these investigations and to forge collaborations between international groups working in the field. Proceedings are expected to be published in a journal like the Annals of NY Academy of Sciences. Additional Information:Â Conference Web Site.
Description:Â Goals of this conference are to (1) catalyze a field of mitochondrial research; (2) identify funding goals and mechanisms for funding mitochondrial work; (3) accelerate translation of mitochondrial-directed therapy to orphan diseases; (4) publish the results of the meeting in Cell Metabolism, Nature Medicine, or JAMA; and (5) publish a...
Description:Â The goals of this conference are to (1) describe the current state of understanding regarding the genomewide distribution of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) regulatory sites, (2) explore the current understanding of GR differentially regulated genes in disease states, and (3) develop a preliminary prospectus of genes critically involved in GR-sensitive pathologies...
Presentations will include talks by students and postdoctoral scientists on their current research, overview presentations by leading researchers in the field, and poster presentations. In addition, presentations will be given by representatives of rare disease foundations to provide interaction between scientists in the field and the disease foundations. The goals...
