NON-HUMAN VIRUSES IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
Conveners: Stephanie DeWitte-Orr, Wilfrid Laurier University, and Cynthia L. Goodman, USDA/ARS/BCIRL
10:30 am – 12:30 pm Animal Symposium Executive Auditorium
Important biomedical advances have been made using non-human virus-host models. Expression vectors originating from insect baculoviruses have been employed in the pharmaceutical industry for the expression of selected drug target genes in mammalian cells, as well as in the development of vaccines for human and animal diseases. Bovine herpesviruses are beginning to show promise as an oncolytic therapy, specifically targeting and killing human cancer cells. Furthermore, important findings related to virus-host interactions have resulted from studies using fish viruses and fish cell lines. Our session will focus on how these differing approaches to virus research have resulted in advances in a number of critical areas, including human health and agriculture.

IN VITRO MANIPULATION AND BREEDING OF
HIGH-VALUE FRUIT CROPS
Conveners: Kevin M. Folta, University of Florida, and Jayasankar Subramanian, University of Guelph
1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Plant Workshop Regency ABCD
Fruit crops provide important variety, nutrition, value and pleasure to the human diet. However, for most fruit species breeding practices have remained almost the same for the last half century. During this same time the challenges to production have grown significantly. The high costs of labor, fuel, and fertilizer, coupled to threats from new pests and pathogens stand as substantial barriers to profitable production. Over the last two decades advances have been made in manipulation and breeding of fruit crops in vitro. New technologies have spawned solutions to these and other problems, producing superior genotypes with great potential for human benefit. This session will feature speakers engaged in fruit crop improvement using transgenic technologies or other means of improvement through in vitro breeding.

IN VITRO SYSTEMS TO STUDY OBESITY AND METABOLIC DISEASES
Conveners: Thomas J. Flynn, US FDA and Magnolia Ariza-Nieto, Cornell University
1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Animal Symposium Executive Auditorium
The incidence of diabetes, obesity and related metabolic diseases is rising steadily in the U.S. and other industrialized nations and has been described as an “epidemic.” While it is known that a marked imbalance between caloric intake and caloric expenditure is a major contributor to this epidemic, there is still much that is not known about the underlying biological mechanisms. In vitro systems can play a major role in elucidating these biological mechanisms. This symposium will highlight some of the in vitro systems currently being used, (e.g., human, hepatocytes, adipocytes, and iPS cells), the metabolic disorders modeled (e.g., diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver) and some biological mechanisms linked to these metabolic disorders (e.g., inflammation, oxidative stress, activation/inactivation of nuclear receptors).

HARNESSING THE PROMISE OF AGRICULTURAL
BIOTECHNOLOGY: UPDATE ON MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL BIOTECH
Conveners: Ted M. Klein, Pioneer Crop Genetics
1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Plant Symposium Evergreen ABC
The promise of agricultural biotechnology can only be realized if well-funded and coordinated programs with clear goals are established and implemented. The path toward applying the results from such programs must also be clear and carefully planned. This session will bring together researchers involved in large projects that involve multiple labs in different continents. The talks will highlight not only technical successes, but demonstrate successful coordination between researchers, funding groups, and government agencies.

STUDENT NETWORKING SYMPOSIUM: WRITING AND
SUBMITTING A GRANT PROPOSAL
Conveners: Vinita Daniel, Midwestern University, and Kerri Neugebauer, Kansas State University
7:30 pm – 9:30 pm Education Symposium Executive Auditorium
Conducting scientific research requires extensive funding to adequately supply and staff an efficient lab. In these economic times, majority of the funding required comes from grant proposals. The act of writing and submitting a grant proposal can seem daunting to students. Respected institutions have strict requirements for submitting a grant. Due to the amount of competition when applying for a grant, expectations are high in the detail and quality of the proposal. These are just some of the many factors that must be considered while writing a grant proposal. Meet with a panel of distinguished and successful post-docs and scientists to discuss the grant proposal writing and submission process. Representatives from plant and animal sciences will be present at this symposium. Come hear short presentations and participate in the open floor discussion.
Panelists:
Mae Cianco, Midwestern University
