PROGRAMCandida ParapsilosisEmerging Fungus Invasive candidiasis is a major global health problem and Candida parapsilosis is currently the second most common cause of invasive candidiasis worldwide. C. parapsilosis is especially associated with disease in premature infants and immunocompromised adults, particularly causing nosocomial infections in Intensive Care Units. Despite the clinical importance of this emerging pathogen, little is known about the genetic basis of fungal virulence that enables C. parapsilosis to cause disease. Dr Nosanchuk's laboratory developed the first method for targeted gene deletion in this pathogen and they are using their disruption technique to study the role of lipid metabolism and lipid pathways in C. parapsilosis. |
Buffet DinnerThe Society is pleased to offer members who attend this meeting a light, buffet-type dinner after the lecture. It will be held just outside the conference room at the conclusion of the presentation.In order for us to plan for this dinner, it is essential that you contact Jean Pollack by telephone (212-263 5902) or e-mail Jean.pollack@nyumc.org by Monday, March 29th, 2010.
