2022 Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions GRC and GRS

项目摘要 2022年寄主-寄生虫相互作用生物学GRC将集中在最新的分子和 寄生虫病的翻译研究进展。导致疟疾的各种人类和兽医病原体， 将重点关注弓形虫病、锥虫病、利什曼病、阿米巴病和蠕虫感染， 目的是将来自世界各地的科学家聚集在一起，分享和综合知识。终极目标 将提高对这些寄生虫的基本了解，并有助于设计 未来的控制和消除努力。会议将讨论范围广泛的话题，包括性 分化和群体感应，免疫学和免疫抑制，基因组不稳定，寄生虫运动， 休眠和持续，分子生物学和基因表达，宿主细胞反应和操纵 寄生虫，新陈代谢和药物靶标。此外，该计划还将包括一个关于有效的会议 与公众和政府官员进行科学沟通。这次会议的广度是独一无二的 这是唯一一次定期举行的会议，为调查人员提供了在这两个领域开展工作的机会 蠕虫和原生动物病原体与免疫学家和药物化学家互动。会议还 为学术科学家提供机会，与在 制药业。该计划的设计涵盖了广泛的主题，我们有 该领域顶尖科学家承诺出席并发言。此外，我们将从以下几个方面选择简短的演讲 摘要，这将扩大多样性。此外，还将举办戈登研究研讨会(GRS)， 为博士后和研究生提供了一个独特的机会来组织他们自己的会议，展示他们的 通过演讲和海报，在宁静但刺激的研究前沿交流思想 纽波特萨尔维里贾纳大学校区的气氛。GRS的演讲将从提交的 摘要报道了最新的突破性发现。学生、博士后和早期职业科学家强烈 鼓励同时向GRC和GRS申请。目前正在特别努力筹集资金，以提供 来自地方病流行国家的个人得到支持。

Project Summary The 2022 GRC on the Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions will focus on the most recent molecular and translational advances in parasitic diseases. A wide range of human and veterinary pathogens that cause malaria, toxoplasmosis, trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, amoebiasis and worm infections will be emphasized, with the aim of bringing together scientists from all over the globe to share and synthesize knowledge. The ultimate goal will be to improve the fundamental understanding of these parasites as well as to contribute to the design of future control and elimination efforts. A wide range of topics will be covered at the conference, including sexual differentiation and quorum sensing, immunology and immune-suppression, genome instability, parasite motility, dormancy and persistence, molecular biology and gene expression, host cell responses and manipulation by parasites, and metabolism and drug targets. Additionally, the program will also include a session on effective scientific communication with the general public and government officials. The breadth of this meeting is unique in the field, and it is the only recurring meeting that provides an opportunity for investigators working on both worm and protozoal pathogens to interact with immunologists and medicinal chemists. The meeting also provides academic scientists the opportunity to compare approaches with investigators working within the pharmaceutical industry. The program has been designed to cover this broad range of topics and we have commitments from top scientists in the field to attend and speak. In addition, we will select short talks from abstracts, which will broaden diversity. There will also be preceding Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), which offers a unique opportunity for postdocs and graduate students to organize their own conference, to present their work through talks and posters, and to exchange ideas at the forefront of research in a serene but stimulating atmosphere at the Salve Regina University Campus, Newport. Talks for the GRS will be selected from submitted abstracts reporting latest ground-breaking findings. Students, post-docs and early career scientists are strongly encouraged to apply to both the GRC and GRS. Special efforts are being made to raise funds to provide individuals from endemic countries with support.
