 DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): A central goal of NIH/NIAID is to promote progress in microbial pathogenesis and infectious disease research. Three important means to foster this goal are to (1) enhance interactions between scientists from multiple disciplines and fields, including investigators of basic processes and those developing new therapies for disease; (2) promote state-of-the-art knowledge of the fundamental biology of microbes and their interactions with human cells and whole organisms, knowledge that forms the basis of future therapeutic strategies; and (3) nurture the development of young scientists. The field of infectious disease traditionally has segregated bacteriologists, virologists, mycologists, parasitologists and immunologists, in spite of the many common and interrelated aspects of these disciplines. In addition, artificial boundaries between academic vs. pharmaceutical investigator and young vs. established scientist have hindered the development of new medicines to fight infectious disease and young scientists to push the boundaries of infectious disease research, respectively. To promote a more integrated field of microbial pathogenesis and infectious disease, and to fully welcome and mentor young scientists in this field, the Eleventh FASEB Summer Research Conference on "Microbial Pathogenesis: Mechanisms of Infectious Disease," held on July 12-17, 2015, is specifically designed to the fulfill following aims: Aim 1. Recruit outstanding scientists who study viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, human immune defenses and the development of new infectious disease medicines to share their diverse experiences and expertise on the mechanisms of infectious disease. Aim 2. Broaden and deepen our understanding of fundamental aspects of infection and health by providing a forum for thought leaders in diverse subfields of infectious disease to share their state-of-the- at strategies to characterize critical features of infection that contributing to health and disease. Aim 3. Support and mentor the next generation of colleagues in the field of microbial pathogenesis and infectious disease by fostering a highly interactive and supportive scientific community within an intimate meeting forum. The structure of the program is geared toward providing young scientists, including underrepresented minorities and women scientists, a setting in which to gain exposure to, get advice from, and be mentored by senior scientists.

 描述（由申请人提供）：NIH/NIAID 的核心目标是促进微生物发病机制和传染病研究的进展，实现这一目标的三个重要手段是（1）加强来自多个学科和领域的科学家之间的互动，包括。基本过程的研究人员和开发疾病新疗法的研究人员；（2）促进微生物基础生物学及其与人类细胞和整个生物体相互作用的最先进知识，这些知识构成未来治疗策略的基础；和(3) 培养年轻科学家的发展。传统上，传染病领域将细菌学家、病毒学家、真菌学家、寄生虫学家和免疫学家分开，尽管这些学科有许多共同和相互关联的方面。此外，学术与学术之间存在人为界限。药物研究者和年轻科学家与成熟科学家分别阻碍了抗击传染病的新药的开发，而年轻科学家则推动了传染病研究的界限，以促进微生物发病机制和传染病领域更加综合。为了充分欢迎和指导该领域的年轻科学家，第十一届 FASEB 夏季研究会议“微生物发病机制：传染病机制”于 2015 年 7 月 12 日至 17 日举行，旨在实现以下目标： 目标 1. 招募研究病毒、细菌、真菌、寄生虫、人体免疫防御和新传染病药物开发的杰出科学家，分享他们在传染病机制方面的不同经验和专业知识。 2. 为传染病不同子领域的思想领袖提供一个论坛，分享他们的最新策略，以描述导致健康和疾病的感染的关键特征，从而扩大和加深我们对感染和健康基本方面的理解目标 3. 通过在亲密的会议论坛中培养高度互动和支持性的科学界，支持和指导微生物发病机制和传染病领域的下一代同事该计划的结构旨在为年轻科学家（包括代表性不足的少数群体）提供支持。和妇女科学家，一个可以接触资深科学家、获得建议并接受指导的环境。
