DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Society for Leukocyte Biology (SLB) annual meeting from October 21-23, 2004 will be devoted to host-pathogen interactions on the cellular level. This important subject is at the interface between microbiology and cell biology, and the two disciplines are converging in this scientific arena. The recognition of microbes by host cells and the mechanisms employed by pathogens to escape from host defenses are two aspects of pathogenesis that are revolutionizing biology. SLB is made up primarily of cell biologists who focus on antigen presenting cells and the effector cells of innate immunity. In this meeting we aim to provide the latest information about how host cells combat infection and how microbial pathogens subvert these responses. David Russell and Brett Finlay, who are among the leading investigators in bacterial pathogenesis, have agreed to give the plenary talks, and the other invited speakers have made important contributions to our knowledge of antimicrobial host defenses. There will be 28 invited speakers (27 have been confirmed) and an additional 16 speakers will be selected, by a committee, from the abstracts that are submitted. The topics to be covered are mechanisms of phagocytosis and genetic defects in host cells that are predisposed to infections, type III secretion systems in pathogenic bacteria, the effect of M. tuberculosis on intracellular organelles, and antimicrobial effector mechanisms in phagocytes. We expect 300-400 registrants, mostly active researchers from academics and industry. We expect to attract a large number of Canadian scientists and students because the meeting is in Toronto and we have invited several prominent Canadian scientists to speak, including one of the keynote speakers. The venue is a large hotel that is wheel-chair accessible. Six of the confirmed speakers are women, all leading investigators in field, and the meeting co-chair is a woman. We encourage students and other trainees to submit abstracts; the SLB gives awards for the best abstracts submitted by students. One of the main purposes of the meeting is to encourage young scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）： 2004 年 10 月 21-23 日举行的白细胞生物学学会 (SLB) 年会将专门讨论细胞水平上的宿主-病原体相互作用。 这个重要的学科处于微生物学和细胞生物学之间的交叉点，这两个学科正在这个科学领域融合。 宿主细胞对微生物的识别以及病原体逃避宿主防御的机制是正在彻底改变生物学的发病机制的两个方面。 SLB 主要由细胞生物学家组成，他们专注于抗原呈递细胞和先天免疫的效应细胞。 在本次会议中，我们的目标是提供有关宿主细胞如何对抗感染以及微生物病原体如何破坏这些反应的最新信息。 细菌发病机制领域的顶尖研究人员戴维·拉塞尔 (David Russell) 和布雷特·芬利 (Brett Finlay) 已同意在全体会议上发表演讲，其他受邀演讲者也为我们对抗菌宿主防御的了解做出了重要贡献。 将有 28 名受邀演讲者（27 名已确认），另外 16 名演讲者将由委员会从提交的摘要中选出。 涵盖的主题包括易感染宿主细胞的吞噬作用机制和遗传缺陷、病原菌的 III 型分泌系统、结核分枝杆菌对细胞内细胞器的影响以及吞噬细胞的抗菌效应机制。 我们预计有 300-400 名注册者，其中大部分是来自学术界和工业界的活跃研究人员。 我们预计会吸引大量加拿大科学家和学生，因为会议在多伦多举行，我们邀请了几位加拿大著名科学家发言，其中包括一位主讲人。 场地是一家大型酒店，适合轮椅使用者。 已确认的发言者中有六名是女性，都是现场的主要调查人员，会议联合主席也是女性。 我们鼓励学生和其他学员提交摘要； SLB 为学生提交的最佳摘要颁发奖项。 这次会议的主要目的之一是鼓励年轻科学家。
