2019 Pittsburgh Rust Belt Microbiome Conference

摘要 本申请要求为2019年匹兹堡锈带微生物大会提供部分资金。我们的目标是 制定一个两年一度的研讨会，向全国开放，但重点是将 匹兹堡研究机构、培训机构和医疗中心的微生物群落 (匹兹堡大学，匹兹堡大学医学中心(UPMC)，卡内基梅隆，杜奎恩， 阿勒格尼总医院以及阿勒格尼学院、卡洛大学和查塔姆大学)和 附近城市(包括布法罗、摩根敦、克利夫兰、费城、辛辛那提和哥伦布)。这个 会议将向全国开放，但将促进本科生和地区的加入 机构和医院工作人员，否则参加国家/国际会议的机会有限 人类病原体和微生物群。我们的目标是展示尖端的临床、翻译和基础 人类病原体和微生物群的调查。2019年大会将围绕 粘膜微生物群及其进化和致病潜力背景下的个性化医学。 这次会议汇集了来自多个学科和机构的顶尖科学家，以推动这一至关重要的领域的发展 同时争取召开一次有初级科学家积极参与的包容性会议。

ABSTRACT This application requests partial funding for the 2019 Pittsburgh Rust Belt Microbial Conference. Our goal is to develop a biennial symposium that is open to attendance nationally, but that focuses on bringing together the microbial community from research institutions, training institutions, and medical centers in Pittsburgh (University of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Carnegie Mellon, Duquesne, Allegheny General Hospital, as well as Allegheny College, Carlow University, and Chatham University) and nearby cities (including Buffalo, Morgantown, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Columbus). The conference will be open to national attendance but will promote inclusion of undergraduate and regional institutions and hospital staff who may otherwise have limited access to national/international conferences on human pathogens and microbiome. Our goal is to present cutting edge clinical, translational, and basic investigations on human pathogens and the microbiome. The 2019 Conference will be centered on personalized medicine in the context of mucosal microbiomes and their evolution and pathogenic potential. The conference brings together top scientists from multiple disciplines and institutions to advance this vital field while striving for an inclusive meeting that actively involves junior scientists.
