Microbial and Host Mechanisms Regulating Infection and Outcomes

The Biology of Acute Respiratory Infection community is thrilled to participate in the GRC Connects 2.0 pilot program in 2024. GRC Connects 2.0 matches a long-time attendee at a Gordon Research Conference with a first-time attendee to ensure new attendees feel welcomed and included as a member of the community. Mentors and mentees will be invited to meet at a reception from 5:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. on Sunday immediately prior to dinner and the Sunday evening session. Funding has been generously provided by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation for the 2024 pilot program. If you are interested in participating, please contact connects@grc.org. Space is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis.

The Biology of Acute Respiratory Infection GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
