Global Health through Research:
19th Annual Molecular Parasitology/Vector Biology Symposium
Friday, May 1st, 2009
8:30 am-5:00 pm
The Classic Center, Athens, Georgia
The Annual Molecular Parasitology/Vector Biology Symposium provides
an opportunity for participants in the parasitology and vector biology
programs at the University of Georgia and other regional institutions to
gather for a one-day interactive conference on parasites and host/parasite
interactions. The day of presentations and posters is completed with a
keynote address from a distinguished scientist in the field of molecular
parasitology, immunoparasitology or vector biology.
The Symposium has
routinely drawn 100-125 attendees from many departments in at least three
different colleges at UGA, including the Departments of Cellular Biology,
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Entomology, Genetics,
Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, and Pathology and colleagues from
other institutions in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.
