10:15-12:15 pm TOPIC SYMPOSIUM
   
  Ion Channels and Disease
Chair: Lisa M. Guay-Woodford, University of Alabama at Birmingham

The highly regulated transport of sodium, potassium, and chloride ions is essential in the proper functioning of a diverse array of organ systems. Single gene defects which disrupt these transport processes underlie a variety of renal, cardiac, and neuromuscular disorders. This symposium will discuss how recent elucidation of these genetic defects provide insights into the molecular pathogenesis of these disorders and suggest roles for these transport pathways in more complex disorders such as hypertension, kidney stone formation, acquired cardiac arrhythmias and seizure disorders. Sponsored Jointly with the American Society of Pediatric Nephrology

Sodium Channels: Function and Dysfunction
Alfred L. George, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville

Chloride Channels - The Role of Mutations in Renal and Neuromuscular Disorders
Rajesh Thakker, Imperial College School of Medicine, London, UK

Potassium Channels: Structural Basis for Function and Disease
Stephen A. N. Goldstein, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven
   
3:15-4:45 pm STATE OF THE ART PLENARY
   
  Cell and Organ Transplantation
Chair: David M. Briscoe, Children’s Hospital, Boston

Advances in solid organ transplantation have substantially improved the long-term prognosis for children with failure of several different organ systems. Three internationally-recognized speakers will discuss the state-of-the-art in pediatric solid organ transplantation, the cutting edge approaches for achieving long-term graft survival, and the clinical promise of new alternatives such as tissue engineering and stem cell delivery.

Advances in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation: Accomplishments and Challenges
Oscar Salvatierra, Stanford University Medical Center, Palo Alto

Transplant Immunology: Progress Towards Inducing Tolerance
Alan M. Krensky, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford

Current and Future Clinical Applications of Tissue Engineering
