Chemical Biology of Infectious Diseases: TB, Toxins, and Biofilms
At the New York Academy of Sciences
Presented by the Chemical Biology Discussion Group and the Emerging Infectious Diseases & Microbiology Discussion Group. The Chemical Biology Discussion Group brings together chemists and biologists interested in learning about the latest ideas in this rapidly growing field. It provides a forum for lively discussion and for establishing collaborations between chemists armed with novel technologies and biologists receptive to using these techniques for answering complex research questions.This symposium will cover topics important in infectious disease, discussed on a molecular level. We will examine mechanisms by which bacteria coordinate group behavior, including biofilm formation and virulence, using small molecule signal transduction pathways; strategies for detecting pathogens, including as weapons of biological warfare; and structure- and function-based approaches to the development of practical new medical treatments.
