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

项目摘要 2021年FASE B科学研究会议“分子致病：传染病的机制” 疾病“是第14届双年度会议，独特地汇聚了杰出的国际科学家 来自多个传染病学科，分享他们在各种病原体方面的最新发现。AS 从最近的新冠肺炎大流行来看，传染病仍然是人类的祸害 世界上最主要的死因。无论是在发展中国家还是发达国家，新兴国家 再次出现的疾病与抗菌素耐药性感染的惊人上升相结合，导致 对微生物病原体和宿主免疫研究的需求增加。病原体，包括病毒， 细菌、真核寄生虫和真菌已经进化出了类似的毒力策略，它们必须克服 相似的宿主反应。在这次会议期间，我们汇聚了来自世界各地的不同群体的科学家 这些针对病原体的社区讨论新的基础研究和医学，发现潜力 协同合作和探讨微生物致病机理的新策略。这项FASE B研究 分子病理学会议是一个独特的小型会议(100-150人)，它带来了 在病毒学、细菌学、真菌学、寄生虫学和免疫学方面有主要兴趣的科学家们一起， 因此，它是帮助实现国家过敏症和传染病研究所使命的重要工具 了解、治疗和预防传染性…的领先研究中的疾病疾病。“今年的会议 由HHMI/德克萨斯大学西南医学中心博士研究员/教授Kim Orth博士领导，并与 主席Ken Campellone博士，康涅狄格大学博士副教授，与36名特邀科学家 来自不同的人群。与以往的会议一样，FASB 2021年会议在会议中心举行 在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯，它允许几乎每个参与者通过以下方式分享他们的科学 提供一张海报(下午3次)或在54次演讲中进行一次演讲，同时允许进行深入的讨论 和网络。我们很荣幸以伯纳德·菲尔兹博士的纪念演讲开始我们的会议。 安德鲁·卡米利，塔夫茨大学博士教授，前FASEB主席，长期参与 开会。此应用程序请求通过出席其他人员来支持增强会议 少数族裔、女性和初级调查人员代表性不足。

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.
