## Abstract

This application requests support for the Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR) 2019 Annual Meeting
entitled, “NOVEL DISCOVERIES IN UROLOGY: BIG DATA TO MICROBIOME” which will be held on
November 7 - 10, 2019 at the New Orleans Downtown Marriott at the Convention Center, New Orleans, LA.
This conference has been held annually since 1992 and provides a unique environment to learn about the
most recent advances in basic, translational and preclinical urologic research, in addition to providing a
dynamic forum for discussing how these advances could be implemented for the prevention and treatment of
urological diseases. Much has been learned over the last decade regarding the molecular determinants and
key pathways that regulate normal and disease processes, and a wide variety of novel therapeutic and
diagnostic strategies have emerged as a result. Thus, this year’s meeting will focus on a few areas that are
emerging as the cutting-edge advances in urology, including: 1) big data (genome, transcriptome, proteome,
and metabolome) analysis that is driving the personalized and precision medicine initiative; 2) endocrine and
metabolic dysfunctions that have not been well studied in urologic diseases; 3) immunology and
immunotherapy that urology is lagging behind other fields; 4) benign urologic disease that is the focus of
several NIDDK-funded O’Brien centers and P20 programs; 5) innovative technologies that have emerged in
urologic research; and 6) microbiome and inflammation that are pushing forward our knowledge to a new level.
The support from this application will be used to provide 14 travel awards to support disadvantaged, poorly
represented and/or junior investigators who submit research abstracts and wish to participate in the meeting,
but who otherwise might not be able to attend. In addition to highlighting recent advances and identifying key
knowledge gaps, the primary goals of the conference include: 1) attracting leading scientists from diverse fields
to promote interactions between basic, translational and clinical research scientists thereby providing a
framework for cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration, and 2) serving as a forum for young
scientists to interact with leading scientists in urologic research leading to enhanced opportunities for their
active participation and integration into the field. All 33 invited speakers have already accepted invitations to
provide presentations and answer questions in six plenary sessions, including: 1) Big Data as Engines for
Discovery; 2) Targeting Endocrine and Metabolic Dysfunctions; 3) Immunology and Immunotherapy; 4)
Targeting Benign Urologic Disease; 5) Innovative Technologies in Urology; and 6) Microbiome and
Inflammation. An attendance of at least 200 is expected, and we will recruit a large variety of clinician,
physician-scientist, and basic researcher attendees, with special emphasis on early-career investigators and
groups typically underrepresented in urologic resear...
