FASEB's The Microbial Pathogenesis Conference: Mechanisms of Infectious Disease

项目摘要 2021年FASEB科学研究会议“分子发病机制：传染病的机制” 疾病”是第14届两年一度的会议，独特地汇集了杰出的国际科学家 来自多个传染病学科，分享他们对各种病原体的最新发现。作为 随着最新的COVID-19大流行，传染病仍然是人类的祸害， 是世界上最主要的死亡原因无论是在发展中国家还是发达国家， 和重新出现的疾病联合收割机与抗生素耐药性感染的惊人增加相结合，导致 对微生物病原体和宿主免疫的研究需求增加。病原体，包括病毒， 细菌，真核寄生虫和真菌，已经进化出类似的毒力策略，因为它们必须克服 类似的主机响应。在这次会议上，我们汇集了来自世界各地的各种科学家， 这些病原体特异性社区讨论新的基础研究和医学， 协同合作和新的战略，以接近微生物的发病机制。FASEB研究 分子发病机制会议是一个独特的小型会议（100-150人）， 与病毒学、细菌学、真菌学、寄生虫学和免疫学的主要兴趣的科学家一起， 因此是帮助实现国家过敏和传染病研究所使命的重要工具。 疾病在“领导研究，以了解，治疗和预防传染性疾病。”今年会议 是由主席博士金Orth，博士研究员/教授，HHMI/UT西南医学中心和合作， 主持人Ken Campellone博士，博士副教授，康涅狄格大学与36名受邀科学家 来自不同的人群。与过去的会议一样，FASEB 2021会议在会议中心举行 在科罗拉多的斯诺马斯，它允许几乎每个参与者分享他们的科学， 展示海报（3个下午的会议）或在54个演讲中进行一个演讲，同时允许进行深入的讨论 和网络。我们很荣幸地开始我们的会议与伯纳德菲尔兹纪念讲座由博士。 安德鲁·卡米利，博士教授，塔夫茨大学，前FASEB主席和长期参与者， 会议这一申请要求提供支持，以通过增加出席会议的人数来加强会议。 代表性不足的少数民族、女性和初级调查员。

Project Summary The 2021 FASEB Scientific Research Conference on “Molecular Pathogenesis: Mechanisms of Infectious Disease” is the 14th bi-annual meeting that uniquely brings together outstanding international scientists from multiple infectious disease disciplines to share their latest discoveries on a variety of pathogens. As seen with the latest pandemic of COVID-19, infectious diseases remain a scourge of humankind as a leading cause of death throughout the world. Whether in the developing or developed world, emerging and re-emerging diseases combine with the alarming rise in antimicrobial-resistant infections, resulting in an increased need for research on microbial pathogens and host immunity. Pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, eukaryotic parasites and fungi, have evolved similar virulence strategies as they must overcome similar host responses. During this meeting we bring together a diverse population of scientists from all these pathogen-specific communities to discuss new basic research and medicine, discover potential synergistic collaborations and novel strategies to approach microbial pathogenesis. This FASEB Research Conference on Molecular Pathogenesis is a unique, small conference (100-150 people) that brings together scientists with primary interests in virology, bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, and immunology, and is thus an essential tool to help achieve the mission of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in “leading research to understand, treat, and prevent infectious…diseases.” This year’s meeting is led by Chair Dr. Kim Orth, PhD Investigator/Professor, HHMI/UT Southwestern Medical Center and co- Chair Dr. Ken Campellone, PhD Associate Professor, University of Connecticut with 36 invited scientists from diverse populations. As with past meetings, the FASEB 2021 meeting is held at the conference center in Snowmass, Colorado, which allows for almost every participant to share their science either by presenting a poster (3 afternoon sessions) or a giving one of 54 talks while allowing for intensive discussion and networking. We are honored to start our meeting with a Bernard Fields Memorial Lecture given by Dr. Andrew Camilli, PhD Professor, Tufts University, a former FASEB chair and longtime participant of this meeting. This application requests support to enhance the conference through the attendance of additional underrepresented minority, female, and junior investigators.
