September 17 - 21, 2013
We are pleased to host the ninth Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Response, which will begin at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, September 17, conclude Friday evening with a banquet and departures on Saturday morning, September 21, 2013. The meeting will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to study infectious disease in animal and plant hosts, integrating the disciplines of molecular microbiology, eukaryotic cell biology, immunology, and genomics. 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 understanding the evolution of emerging diseases.
Topics
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
