4th ASM Conference on Salmonella: the Bacterium, the Host and the Environment

描述(由申请者提供)：我们正在申请资金，以支持将于2013年10月5日至9日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的第四届ASM沙门氏菌会议。这次会议由美国微生物学会主办，该学会提供管理专业知识和资金支持。这次会议是继2003年在意大利撒丁岛、2006年在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚和2009年在法国普罗旺斯艾克斯举行的会议之后举行的。这一系列会议是唯一一次涵盖沙门氏菌研究方方面面的会议。所有之前的ASM沙门氏菌会议都有很好的与会者，因此我们预计来自世界各地的300-350人参加。拟议的计划具有广泛的科学重点，将包括流行病学、遗传学和基因调控、疫苗开发、治疗和预防、宿主免疫反应、感染细胞生物学、生理和新陈代谢以及动物健康和食品安全等课程。被邀请的演讲者名单将包括该领域的许多杰出科学家。将尽一切努力将妇女和代表性不足的少数群体包括在内。我们相信，这次会议将为科学家提供一个场所，介绍该领域的最新进展，并发起跨学科的互动和讨论。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting funds to provide support for the 4th ASM Salmonella conference to be held from from October 5 - 9, 2013, in Boston, MA. This conference is sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology, which provides both management expertise and financial support. The conference follows previous editions held in Sardinia, Italy (2003), Victoria, BC, Canada (2006), and Aix-en-Provence, France, (2009). This conference series is the only one that covers all aspects of Salmonella research. All preceding ASM Salmonella conferences were well attended and therefore we expect 300-350 attendees from around the world. The proposed program has a broad scientific focus and will include sessions on Epidemiology, Genetics and Gene Regulation, Vaccine Development, Treatment and Prevention, Host Immune Response, Cell Biology of Infection, Physiology and Metabolism, and Animal Health and Food Safety. The list of invited speakers will include many of the preeminent scientists in the field. Every effort will be made to include women and underrepresented minority groups. We are confident that the meeting will provide a venue for scientists to present the latest advances in the field and to initiate interdisciplinary interactios and discussion.
