Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Response Conference 2013

简介（由申请人提供）：第九届微生物发病机制和宿主反应国际会议将集中于跨学科方法研究传染病，整合分子微生物学，真核细胞生物学，免疫学和基因组学学科。由于新病原体的出现和常见病原体的重新崛起，微生物疾病再次在全世界的卫生保健中发挥了重要的核心作用。会议将深入讨论用于阐明细菌和真菌发病机制的方法，并促进将这些概念应用于控制和干预传染病的新策略。口头会议和海报会议将集中讨论微生物发病机制和宿主反应的主要主题，包括：发病机制的遗传方法；共栖/发病机制的调节；生物膜、群体感应与疾病；宿主细胞/病原体相互作用；对炎症的看法；抗生素，化学遗传学和免疫杀伤。会议将整合细菌和真菌病原体的研究。口头会议将以邀请该领域知名领导人的2-4次演讲开始，然后是几次较短的演讲

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ninth international conference on Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Response will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to study infectious disease, integrating the disciplines of molecular microbiology, eukaryotic cell biology, immunology, and genomics. Microbial diseases have once again taken an important central role in health care worldwide, due to the emergence of new pathogens and the re-ascent of common pathogens. The meeting will provide an in depth focus on the approaches that are being used to elucidate the mechanisms of bacterial and fungal pathogenesis, and promote the application of these concepts to novel strategies for the control and intervention of infectious diseases. Oral and poster sessions will focus on major themes of microbial pathogenesis and the host response, including: genetic approaches to pathogenesis; regulation of commensalism/pathogenesis; biofilms, quorum sensing and disease; host cell/pathogen interactions; perspectives on inflammation; antibiotics, chemical genetics and immune killing. The sessions will integrate studies on bacterial and fungal pathogens. The oral sessions will begin with 2-4 invited talks by established leaders in the field, followed by several shorter talks chosen from submitted abstracts. The inclusion of two poster sessions as well as the allotment of ample time for questions following each talk will encourage extensive discussion between the participants. The meeting will be small enough (300 - 400 scientists) to facilitate these interactions, yet large enough to allow for oral presentations not only from established investigators, but also from younger investigators and those with novel perspectives. The integration of a wide variety of aspects of bacterial and fungal pathogenesis with the host response to pathogens should promote new interdisciplinary interactions that are seldom achieved at other meetings on microbial pathogenesis that are either more narrowly focused or so diverse that the topics are difficult to integrate. The resulting interdisciplinary interactionswill yield novel experimental approaches that might not otherwise be possible.
