11:00 AM - 1:30 PM
ASIP Highlights Session: I Am An ASIP Member and This is My Science
San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina • Marina Ballroom, Salon G
Sponsored by the ASIP Committee for Career Development and Diversity
Chair: Edward A. Medina, MD, PhD • University of Texas Health Science Center
Co-Chairs: Titus A. Reaves, PhD • Medical University of South Carolina
Nakisha Rutledge, BSc • Northwestern University

Session Description:

As a Society, we cannot escape the identity crisis we have confronted in the past - what is pathology and how do pathologists fit into the basic framework of biomedical science? This is an ongoing challenge that requires our members to educate others regarding the nature of the discipline of experimental pathology and how our research describes and investigates the pathology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of specific diseases at the molecular, cellular, organ, and organismal level. Overcoming this identity crisis requires effort on the part of each ASIP member and our success will be evident as we continue to attract bright and enthusiastic young investigators into the diverse field of experimental pathobiology.

The American Society for Investigative Pathology presents I Am An ASIP Member and This Is My Science a dynamic and  inspiring session  featuring ASIP Scientists on the Cutting Edge of Discovery briefly, present their research, accomplishments, career journeys, and service to ASIP. This session highlights the diversity among our membership, and provides trainees, young scientists, pathologists, and the members of the larger scientific community the opportunity to become inspired by Trailblazers in the field of investigative pathology.

Sponsored by the ASIP Education Committee
Chair: Dipak Panigrahy, MD • Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School
Co-Chair: Alexander Sougiannis, BS, MA • University of South Carolina School of Medicine


Description:
Unresolved inflammation is a major mechanism of pathogenesis in many human diseases.
A paradigm shift is emerging in our understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammation which results not only from persistent activation of inflammatory signals, but also from the active loss of pro-resolution mechanisms. Differentiating between the suppression and resolution of inflammation driven by pro-resolution mediators is critical for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases.
