ASIP Summer Academy - Past Courses

Molecular Mechanisms of Human Disease
Injury, Inflammation, Stem Cells, and Tissue Repair
Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Executive Meeting Center
Rockville, MD - USA, June 26-28, 2010
The Molecular Mechanisms of Human Disease Summer Course (“ASIP 2010 Summer Academy”) was a 2-1/2 day in-depth overview of current and cutting edge cell and molecular biology of human diseases focusing on injury, inflammation, stem cells, and tissue repair. This course was designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, junior faculty, and scientists from industry desiring a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying basic physiologic processes and how those pathways contribute to pathology and disease. For example, basic presentations on pathways of cell injury and apoptosis were linked with strategies to limit cell death; leukocyte recruitment and activation lead into informal discussions of atherosclerosis and septic shock.

Molecular Mechanisms of Human Disease
Solid Tumors: Transcripts, Tyrosine Kinases, and Therapeutics
Hilton Arlington, Arlington VA
June 6-8, 2009
The 2009 ASIP Summer Academy focused on cancer pathobiology, genetics and new therapeutic approaches in personalized medicine. Fundamental aspects of the histopathology, natural history, and the molecular basis of neoplasia, with a focus on several major forms of cancers of the breast, colon, lung, liver, and brain were discussed.

Molecular Mechanisms of Human Disease
University of California San Diego (UCSD) San Diego, CA
July 12-16, 2006
The Molecular Mechanisms of Human Disease was an in-depth overview of current and cutting edge cell and molecular biology of human diseases. This course was designed for students, technologists, fellows, faculty, and scientists from academia and industry desiring a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying basic physiologic processes and how those pathways contribute to pathology and disease. For example, basic presentations on pathways of cell injury and senescence were related to reperfusion injury and aging; leukocyte recruitment and activation sequed into discussions of atherosclerosis and septic shock; and stem cell biology and tissue repair focused on angiogenesis and malignancy.

Researchers and educators were intriduced to a broad sampling of new and exciting areas of biomedical research. Each day of the course concluded with a discussion of current developments and revolutions in technologies, including flow cytometry, tissue engineering, and cancer genomics and proteomics.
FOR ASIP MEMBERS: Course materials will be available to ASIP members for self-study on http://www.pathologyeducation.org, ASIP's online education portal, beginning January 2012. Details to be available January 1, 2012
