Keystone Symposia: Host and the Environment in IBD: Scientific Advances Leading to New Therapeutics (A2) 

The overall goal of this conference is to bring together world-class investigators and clinicians to discuss the latest scientific knowledge relevant to the pathogenesis of IBD and facilitate an interactive discussion to accelerate development of new opportunities to prevent and/or treat IBD. The specific aims of this conference are to: 1) Bring together a combination of clinical and basic investigators from both academia and industry to facilitate cross-disciplinary discussions focused on IBD; 2) Identify both opportunities and gaps in current knowledge of the pathogenesis of IBD important for the development of new diagnostics and therapeutics; and 3) Create a multidisciplinary environment that will inspire both young and established investigators by highlighting currently available opportunities in IBD research. The anticipated outcome will be a better understanding of the advances and challenges in developing new therapies for patients with IBD.

Location: Taos, NM, USA

    Australian and New Zealand Society for Mass Spectrometry (ANZSMS) 

    The aim of the Society is to promote mass spectrometry by providing contact with local and international leaders in all areas, and providing a forum, through its meetings, for the presentation of research in mass spectrometry and related disciplines.

    Membership of the ANZSMS is open to any person with an interest in mass spectrometry. Members receive periodic information about topics such as future ANZSMS Conferences, visiting speakers, local group activities and funding support for postgraduate students and technical staff to attend mass spectrometry conferences.

    Location: Auckland, New Zealand

    Jan. 7, 2019 

    JDRF Funding Opportunity Application Due Date: Therapeutic Development and Early Clinical Testing of T Cell Targeted Immunotherapies for the Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes 
    Examples of pertinent topics include, but are not limited to: (1) IND-enabling studies of clinical candidates, including GLP/tox, studies if justified. (2) Pre-clinical mechanistic and/or efficacy studies of candidate therapeutics in appropriate animal models (effectiveness in two orthogonal models is desirable). (3) Optimization of lead candidate molecules. (4) Pilot clinical studies to demonstrate proof-of-mechanism or effectiveness for existing clinical stage drugs to define the expected MOA of different types of T cell targeted therapies.

    NIDDK Funding Opportunity Letter of Intent Due Date: Human Islet Research Network - Consortium on Targeting and Regeneration (HIRN-CTAR) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

    This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Consortium on Targeting and Regeneration (CTAR) that supports the development of innovative strategies to increase or protect functional human beta cell mass in patients with Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) through the controlled manipulation of beta cell replication, islet cell plasticity, and the reprogramming of pancreatic non-beta cells into beta-like cells, or through shielding the residual beta cell mass from the autoimmune environment. CTAR is part of the Human Islet Research Network (HIRN).

    NIDDK Funding Opportunity Letter of Intent Due Date: Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
    This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement applications to continue the mission of the existing Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP). This FOA will support one team of investigators with combined expertise in human pancreas physiology and pathophysiology; collection, processing and multimodal analysis of human pancreatic tissues; and biological database building, curation and management, that will be tasked to: 1) identify, collect and intensively characterize primary pancreatic tissues from patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), beta cell specific autoimmunity, or rare forms of islet dysfunction that may inform understanding of the pathogenesis of T1D , as well as age-matched controls; and 2) analyze, organize and share the data resulting from the study of these tissues and expand the existing PANC DB open-access resource database. HPAP is a component of HIRN, created in 2014 to support innovative and collaborative translational research to understand how human beta cells are lost in T1D, and to find innovative strategies to protect and replace functional human beta cell mass.

    NIDDK Funding Opportunity Letter of Intent Due Date: Human Pancreas Analysis Program for Type-2 Diabetes (HPAP-T2D) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
    This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement applications to expand the operational scope of the existing Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP) to the study of pancreata recovered from tissue donors with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and related metabolic disorders. This FOA will support one team of investigators with combined expertise in human pancreas physiology and pathophysiology; collection, processing and multimodal analysis of human pancreatic tissues; and biological database building, curation and management, with a program goal of further advancing research through a shared resource, by tasking the team with : 1) identifying, collecting and intensively characterizing primary pancreatic tissues from patients with T2D and related forms of islet dysfunction, as well as age-matched controls; and 2) analyzing, organizing and sharing the data resulting from the study of these tissues through use and expansion of the existing PANC DB open-access resource database. HPAP is a component of the Human Islet Research Network (HIRN), created in 2014 to support innovative and collaborative translational research to understand how human beta cells are lost in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), and to find innovative strategies to protect and replace functional human beta cell mass.
