MICROBIAL
PATHOGENESIS & HOST RESPONSE
|
We are pleased to host the seventh Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Response, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, September 8 and run through lunch on Saturday, September 12, 2009. The meeting will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to study infectious disease in animal and plant hosts, integrating the disciplines of molecular microbiology, eukaryotic cell biology, immunology, and genomics. The meeting will provide an in depth focus on the approaches that are being used to elucidate the mechanisms of bacterial and fungal pathogenesis, and promote the application of these concepts to understanding the evolution of emerging diseases.
Sessions will integrate studies on bacterial and fungal pathogens. The oral sessions will begin with 2 - 3 invited talks by established leaders in the field, followed by several shorter talks chosen from submitted abstracts. We strongly encourage submission of abstracts by junior researchers in the field. The meeting will address the following topics:
Topics
Include:
Effector
Delivery and Function
Regulation of Virulence
Microbial Communities
Immune Response to
Pathogens
Genomes and Evolution
of Virulence
Cell-Cell Communication
Microbial
Trafficking in Cells and Tissues
Abstracts
should contain only new and unpublished material and
must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection
of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the
organizers and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster)
of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions
have been made by the organizers.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since
they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied
for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate
students and postdocs. Apply in writing to meetings@cshl.edu
stating need for financial support - preference is given to those
submitting abstracts.
We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in September.
