ABSTRACT The 10th Mid-Atlantic Microbial Pathogenesis Meeting (MAMPM) will be held February 10-12, 2019 at Wintergreen Resort and Conference Center near Charlottesville, Virginia. The purpose of the biannual MAMPM is to foster communication and collaboration among scientists engaged in microbial pathogenesis research in the Mid-Atlantic Region (North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, The District of Columbia, West Virginia, and Delaware). Many NIH/NIAID-funded investigators studying the virulence mechanisms of pathogens of importance to human health are located in this geographic region and have participated in multiple MAMPMs. All previous nine meetings have been held at Wintergreen Resort Conference Center, which features a central location, excellent facilities, and a professional conference staff. MAMPMs attract scientists from both within and outside the Mid-Atlantic region; the 9th MAMPM in 2017 featured 180 attendees from 12 states. One of MAMPM’s key goals is to provide students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty with the opportunity to present their work to a knowledgeable audience, focused in this discipline, in a collegial yet scientifically rigorous environment. MAMPM is a formative experience for young scientists’ professional development and remains one of the most appealing, and positively evaluated, aspects of this conference. MAMPM 2019 will consist of four sessions over three days. The schedule is arranged by the MAMPM Organizing Committee, comprised of the current, future, and two past conference chairs. Each session will feature an invited keynote speaker and talks by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and a limited number of principal investigators, selected from the submitted abstracts by the Scientific Program Committee. Drs. Leah Cowen, JoAnne Flynn, Nina Salama, and Eric Skaar have agreed to be the MAMPM 2019 Keynote Speakers. Two poster sessions will provide the opportunity for all participants to present and discuss their work face-to-face. MAMPM 2019 will be publicized through advertisements in professional publications, social media posts, and direct mailings (physical and email) to relevant departments at academic institutions, government and private laboratories within the region and to members of the local American Society for Microbiology branches that serve this region. A dedicated website (http://mampm.org/) publicizes the meeting and provides the necessary information and forms required for registration. MAMPM remains committed to ensuring a balanced representation of women, underrepresented minorities, and persons of disability in the leadership, conference participants, and speakers, including keynote speakers. To this end, two Diversity Ambassadors have been recruited to facilitate participation from historically underrepresented populations. MAMPM 2019 will feature an event that is open to all conference attendees, focused on career transition points, and featuring discussion leaders and panelists to highlight and emphasize the diversity of the field of microbial pathogenesis.

摘要 第十届中大西洋微生物致病会议(MAMPM)将于2019年2月10日至12日举行 在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔附近的冬青度假村和会议中心。每两年举办一次的目的 MAMPM旨在促进从事微生物发病机制研究的科学家之间的交流和合作 大西洋中部地区(北卡罗来纳州、弗吉尼亚州、马里兰州、哥伦比亚特区、西部)的研究 弗吉尼亚州和特拉华州)。许多由NIH/NIAID资助的研究人员正在研究沙门氏菌的毒力机制 对人类健康具有重要意义的病原体位于这一地理区域，并参与了 多个MAMPM。之前的九次会议都是在冬青度假村会议中心举行的， 中心位置、一流的设施和专业的会议工作人员。MAMPM吸引人 来自大西洋中部地区内外的科学家；2017年第九届MAMPM有180人参加 来自12个州。MAMPM的主要目标之一是为学生、博士后研究员和初级教师提供 有机会向知识渊博的观众展示他们的作品，重点放在这个学科上，而且是在大学里 科学严谨的环境。MAMPM是年轻科学家职业生涯中的一次成长经历 发展问题，并且仍然是本次会议最吸引人和得到积极评价的方面之一。 MAMPM 2019将在三天内分为四个环节。日程安排由MAMPM安排 组织委员会，由现任、未来和两名过去的会议主席组成。每节课都将 以特邀主旨演讲者和研究生、博士后研究员和有限数量的演讲者为特色 主要研究人员，从科学计划委员会提交的摘要中挑选出来。戴维斯博士。 Leah Cowen、JoAnne Flynn、Nina Salama和Eric Skaar已同意担任MAMPM 2019年的主旨演讲 扬声器。两个海报会议将为所有参与者提供介绍和讨论他们的工作的机会 面对面的。MAMPM 2019将通过在专业出版物、社交媒体上发布广告进行宣传 帖子，以及直接邮寄(物理和电子邮件)到学术机构、政府的相关部门 和区域内的私人实验室以及当地美国微生物学会的成员 为这一地区服务的分支机构。一个专门的网站(http://mampm.org/)宣传这次会议并提供 注册所需的必要信息和表格。 MAMPM仍然致力于确保妇女代表的平衡，代表人数不足 少数群体和领导层中的残疾人、会议参与者和演讲者，包括主旨 扬声器。为此目的，招聘了两名多样性大使，以促进来自 历史上代表性不足的人口。2019年MAMPM将举办一场对所有会议开放的活动 与会者，专注于职业转折点，并以讨论领袖和小组成员为特色，以突出和 强调微生物发病机制领域的多样性。
