The meeting brings together scientists from multiple disciplines with a shared interest in infectious diseases and immunity research and translation of research into vaccines, antimicrobial and biological therapies and public health measures.

Research in these themes is particularly strong in Australia and will be facilitated by a focused forum to complement other specialist Lorne and Australian Society meetings.

Researchers, clinicians and veterinarians will be attending, with a strong emphasis on promoting student attendance and participation.

Speakers include Burnet Institute’s Deputy Program Director, Maternal and Child Health, Associate Professor Freya Fowkes.

Among the themes are:

• Adaptive Immunity to Infection
• Genomes/Systems Biology/Structures
• Emerging Infectious Diseases
• Host-Pathogen Interactions
• Innate Immunity to Infection
• Microbes and the Mucosa
• Infectious Diseases and Inflammation
• Pathogenesis of Infection
• Vaccines/Therapeutics/Diagnostics
