Our Research Day 2024 will highlight emerging technologies in infectious diseases. Here is snapshot of some of the talks and presentations:

  • Dr. Simon Hirota: New applications for organoids – beyond pretty pictures
  • Dr. Mark Gillrie: Tissue engineering organs on chips to study human infections
  • Dr. Tim Shutt: Mitochondria and Inflammation
  • Dr. Bryan Yipp: Understanding lung-pathogen interactions via chemogenetics and behavioromics
  • Dr. Ian Lewis: Why do people die? Separating host-versus-microbial contributors to mortality from 38,000 bloodstream infections
  • Dr. Kathy McCoy: From Germ-free to Wild: Emerging technologies in microbiome research
  • Dr. Marie-Claire Arrieta: The gut mycobiome in immune and metabolic development
  • Dr. Braedon McDonald: Bringing the lab to the clinic: point-of-care metagenomics for translational microbiome research

This not-to-be-missed day of insights and revelations about the science and medicine we study and practice will be an excellent opportunity for Snyder members to connect with colleagues, trainees and staff. Attendees are invited to join us for a reception in the HRIC Atrium at the close of the talks.

Registration is required. Lunch and reception will be provided to all registered attendees. Please register soon, and no later than Wednesday, October 2, 2024.
