PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The Midwest Microbial Pathogenesis Conference (MMPC) is a high-impact scientific meeting dedicated to promoting excellent research in microbial pathogenesis, fostering career development for junior faculty and student and postdoctoral trainees, and promoting a diverse and inclusive environment for scientific exchange. Established in 1994 at the University of Iowa, MMPC meetings occur annually at academic institutions in the Midwest Region of the United States. The approximately 300 attendees at each meeting include undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research staff, and faculty, who interact extensively during the two-day meeting. The 28th annual MMPC will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin– Madison in Madison, Wisconsin, from September 30-October 1, 2022. UW-Madison is host to an outstanding microbiology community and is an ASM Milestones in Microbiology Site, and this represents the third time that the prestigious meeting will be hosted by UW-Madison. MMPC strongly supports the development of scientists who are underrepresented in the biological sciences, including numerous racial and ethnic groups, disabled scientists, economically disadvantaged scientists, and women. MMPC 2022 will include an interactive career forum, building on the regional expertise in large and small colleges, biotechnology companies, intellectual property law and science policy. Through the structured career forum and informal interactions at receptions, posters, and meals with scientists across career stages, MMPC provides a unique opportunity for networking among Midwestern scientists. Regional accessibility, low cost, and strong support for travel and registration awards allows MMPC to attract a diverse group of participants. In the tradition of past conferences, 100% of speakers (excluding the keynote and opening session speakers) invited to give oral presentations will be graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, or Assistant Professors. Sixty percent (60%) of the invited junior faculty speakers are women, and the group includes speakers representing personal, geographic, and topic diversity across the field of microbial pathogenesis. The remaining five oral presentations for the meeting will be selected from among the graduate student and postdoctoral fellow abstracts. We propose to select 13 additional trainees from abstract submissions for registration waivers, focusing on merit and promoting diversity. We also plan to provide registration fee waivers to at least 20 scholars who are women and/or from underrepresented groups to promote diversity and provide opportunities for exploration of the field of microbial pathogenesis. Finally, MMPC 2022 will feature a keynote address by Dr. Victor Torres (NYU Medical School), a MacArthur Fellow and Burroughs Wellcome Fund Investigator in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease, who will present on his work on Staphylococcus aureus toxin biology, pathogenesis, and vaccine development. Dr. Torres, who has a strong track record of mentorship of junior scientists, will be present for the full meeting to ensure significant interactions with attendees.

项目总结/摘要 中西部微生物发病机制会议（MMPC）是一个高影响力的科学会议，致力于 促进微生物发病机理的优秀研究，促进初级教师的职业发展， 学生和博士后培训人员，并促进科学交流的多样化和包容性环境。 MMPC于1994年在爱荷华州大学成立，每年在美国的学术机构举行会议。 美国的中西部地区。每次会议约有300名与会者， 本科生和研究生，博士后研究员，研究人员和教师，谁互动 在为期两天的会议期间，第28届年度MMPC将由威斯康星州大学主办- 2022年9月30日至10月1日，威斯康星州麦迪逊的麦迪逊。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校是一个杰出的主机 微生物学社区，是一个ASM Milestones在微生物学网站，这是第三次， 久负盛名的会议将由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校主办。MMPC大力支持科学家的发展 包括许多种族和族裔群体在内的生物科学领域代表性不足的残疾人群体 科学家、经济上处于不利地位的科学家和妇女。MMPC 2022将包括一个互动的职业生涯 论坛，建立在大型和小型学院，生物技术公司，知识产权 财产法和科学政策。通过结构化的职业论坛和招待会上的非正式互动， 海报，并与跨职业阶段的科学家吃饭，MMPC提供了一个独特的机会，网络 在中西部科学家中。区域通达、费用低廉、出行和报名支持力度大 奖项使MMPC能够吸引不同的参与者群体。按照以往会议的传统， 应邀作口头报告的讲者（不包括主旨发言者和开幕式讲者）将 研究生、博士后研究员或助理教授。六成（60%）的受邀青年 教师发言人是女性，该小组包括代表个人，地理和主题的发言人 微生物致病机理领域的多样性。会议的其余五个口头介绍将 从研究生和博士后研究员中选出摘要。我们建议选出13名 更多的受训人员从摘要提交登记豁免，重点是优点和促进 多样性我们还计划向至少20名女性和/或来自 代表性不足的群体，以促进多样性，并为探索微生物领域提供机会。 发病机制最后，MMPC 2022将由维克托托雷斯博士（纽约大学医学院）发表主题演讲， 麦克阿瑟研究员和巴勒斯·惠康基金会传染病发病机制研究员， 他将介绍他在金黄色葡萄球菌毒素生物学、发病机理和疫苗开发方面的工作。 博士托雷斯在指导年轻科学家方面有着良好的记录，他将出席整个会议 以确保与与会者的重要互动。
