Project Summary Fungal infections affect more than a billion people each year, of which 150 million cases are severe or life- threatening infections that result in 1.7 million deaths. Candida species are the major cause of life- threatening fungal disease in nosocomial settings, and cause a wide variety of diseases from oral and vaginal candidiasis to bloodstream candidemia. Research into Candida biology addresses a broad spectrum of topics relating to epidemiology, drug resistance, host response, and therapeutics. The Candida and Candidiasis Conference has been held every two to three years since 1987. This conference is the premier forum for the Candida community to assemble and to discuss the latest research in all areas of Candida biology, including emerging species of concern such as the multidrug resistant species Candida auris. Funds are requested for support towards for the 2023 Candida and Candidiasis conference to be held May 13-17 at the Le Centre Sheraton hotel in Montreal, Canada. This meeting will be run with the support of the Microbiological Society who are experienced with the organizing of scientific conferences. It is envisaged that 300-350 U.S. and international scientists will attend this meeting in person, and the conference has received enthusiastic support from the community and from past surveys of participants. The 2023 iteration of the conference is particularly important given that the 2020 conference was cancelled and held remotely (only) in 2021. The Program includes 8 main sessions with 6 speakers in each, as well as 3 parallel sessions and 2 elevator sessions. These sessions are designed to provide as much opportunity as possible for junior investigators (students, postdocs and junior professors) to give oral presentations to the community. At least 60 of the talks for the main and parallel sessions will be selected based on submitted abstracts. Elevator sessions will allow a further 37 junior scientists to summarize their research in short talks on the main stage. There will also be three poster sessions will allow discussion of the expected 200-300 posters. The main talks will also be recorded and made available online for those unable to attend the conference in person, which will expand the accessibility of the meeting worldwide. Clinical sessions are also a key part of the meeting as the conference seeks to foster interactions between basic and translational researchers. These sessions will bring the community up to speed in the challenges of diagnosing and treating Candida infections in nosocomial settings. The Candida and Candidiasis meeting has a strong track record of inclusion, with 50% of the session chairs being female while we also encourage and support attendance from underrepresented minorities. We are confident that the conference will promote synergistic and interdisciplinary interactions between all members of the research community, and will drive research into Candida biology and help develop new therapeutic approaches.

项目摘要 真菌感染每年影响超过10亿人，其中1.5亿例严重或终身感染。 导致170万人死亡的威胁性感染。念珠菌是生命的主要来源- 威胁医院环境中的真菌疾病，并引起口腔和口腔等多种疾病 阴道念珠菌病到血流念珠菌血症。念珠菌生物学研究涉及广泛的 与流行病学、耐药性、宿主反应和治疗学有关的一系列主题。 念珠菌和念珠菌病会议自1987年以来每两至三年举行一次。这 会议是念珠菌社区聚集和讨论最新研究的首要论坛 在念珠菌生物学的所有领域，包括新出现的关注物种，如多药耐药 耳念珠菌属。要求提供资金，以支持2023年念珠菌和念珠菌病 会议将于5月13日至17日在加拿大蒙特利尔的乐中心喜来登酒店举行。这次会议将 在微生物学会的支持下运行，微生物学会在组织科学研究方面经验丰富， 两会预计将有300-350名美国和国际科学家参加这次会议。 是次研讨会得到社会各界及过往的 参与者鉴于2020年会议将于2023年举行， 已于二零二一年取消并（仅）远程举行。 该计划包括8个主要会议，每个会议6名发言人，以及3个平行会议和2个 电梯会议这些课程的目的是提供尽可能多的机会， 研究人员（学生，博士后和初级教授）向社区做口头报告。在 将根据提交的摘要选择至少60个主要会议和平行会议的演讲。 电梯会议将允许另外37名年轻科学家在简短的谈话中总结他们的研究， 主舞台还将有三个海报会议将允许讨论预期的200-300海报。 主要的谈话也将被记录下来，并在网上提供给那些无法参加会议的人。 这将扩大会议在全世界的可及性。 临床会议也是会议的一个关键部分，因为会议旨在促进 基础和翻译研究人员。这些会议将使社会加快在挑战 诊断和治疗医院环境中的念珠菌感染。念珠菌和念珠菌病 会议在包容性方面有着良好的记录，50%的会议主席是女性， 鼓励和支持代表性不足的少数群体参加会议。我们相信， 将促进研究界所有成员之间的协同和跨学科互动， 并将推动念珠菌生物学研究，帮助开发新的治疗方法。
