The 3-day symposium spanning topics such as Immunology, Emerging and Re-Emerging Viruses, Microbes and Their Communities, and Infectious Disease, will explore the latest developments in Microbiology and Immunology
YORBA LINDA, Calif., Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Yorba Linda, CA (August 31, 2023) – Labroots, the leading scientific social networking website offering premier, interactive virtual events and webinars, is delighted to announce its annual Microbiology Virtual Week free online event. On September 5-7, 2023, research scholars, top scientists, healthcare professionals, microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, and clinicians will gather under a virtual roof to hear from well-renowned speakers discussing their recent advancements in the field.
The informative, educational 3-day agenda will include thought leaders from industry and academia institutions delivering dynamic presentations, including distinguished keynote deliveries and panel presentations you won’t want to miss!
Keynote Speakers spanning the program at Microbiology Virtual Week 2023 include the following:
Dr. Ivan Zanoni, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Boston Children’s Hospital Chair in the Field of Immunology, Harvard Medical School, Research Faculty, Division of Immunology, Division of Gastroenterology said, “The COVID-19 pandemic brought a terrible burden in terms of loss of lives. Nevertheless, the scientific community exploited the SARS-CoV-2 virus to better understanding the functioning of the immune system. In this lecture, I will focus on two aspects related to the immune response to SARS-CoV-2, and to lung virus infections: i) I will discuss how interferons (a group of cytokines able to “interfere” with virus replication) play both protective and detrimental roles in a mouse model of lung virus infection and in COVID-19 patients; ii) I will show how harnessing the physical properties of microbial components may lead to the development of more effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus.”
Dr. Nischay Mishra, Assistant Professor at The Center for Infection and Immunity (CII), Columbia University said, “Preparation for future pandemics start with timely pathogen discovery, rapid affordable diagnostics, efficient containment, and availability of such tools globally. The CII is committed to developing cutting-edge molecular and serological platforms, discovering pathogens, monitoring infectious diseases, studying zoonoses/reverse zoonoses events, responding to outbreaks and pandemics, and explaining role of microbes in acute and chronic illnesses. We have collaboration with scientists from 50+ countries, and we are building advanced research capacity worldwide. We have identified 2,000+ viruses, developed accurate microbial screening and diagnostic techniques, and obtained regulatory approvals.”
“Over the past 50 years, Lyme disease has emerged as a global threat to public health,” said Melissa Caimano, Associate Professor, Department of Medicine, UConn Health. “My work focuses on how Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, responds to signals encountered within its arthropod vector and mammalian host. LabRoots’ platform will provide us with a framework for identifying novel strategies for interrupting the spirochete’s enzootic cycle, thereby reducing the threat of disease for humans within endemic areas.”
Dr. Gaya Amarasinghe, Alumni Endowed Professor of Pathology and Immunology at The Washington University School of Medicine said, “There’s still a lot that we don’t know about many pathogens and their interactions with the host during infection and particularly, the host responses after infection. These are critical for understanding threats as well as therapeutic opportunities. The significance of such approaches was further highlighted during the recent COVID 19 pandemic as well as outbreaks involving the Ebola virus and the Zika virus. Our goal is to define how key host-viral interactions contribute to hemorrhagic fever virus infections. Our studies will primarily focus on filoviruses and bunya viruses. These are known causative agents of recent outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fever.
The scientific symposium explores additional topics such as the impact of the hypoxic gut microenvironment on host enteric pathogen interactions, bacterial chemotaxis in beneficial plant-microbe associations, innate immunity and microbiome of the human female reproductive tract, advancing RSV research: expanding therapeutic options with recombinant antibodies and antigens, implementing a real-time PCR-based method for sterility release testing of ATMPs via a panel presentation, machine learning insights into antimicrobial efficacy and resistance, utilizing molecular technologies to drive productivity in the microbiology lab, and so much more.
While connecting across all desktops and mobile devices, the online environment encompasses a lobby with leaderboard and gamification, an auditorium featuring live-streaming video webcasts offering live attendee chats during scheduled presentations, an interactive poster hall featuring a poster competition and live chat conversations), exhibit hall (interact with sponsors and view the latest array of products and technologies), and a networking lounge to connect with your colleagues.

The Outstanding Healthcare CEO award is named in honor of Steven Schroeder, MD, Distinguished Professor of Health and Health Care at the University of California San Francisco and former President and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Dr. Schroeder has spent five decades inspiring and mentoring leaders to forcefully advocate for better quality and more affordable health care, and he has inspired leaders of both Costs of Care and The Leapfrog Group.
“We are in a challenging time for health professionals. Never before has the promise of health care been so bright, yet far too many people lack adequate health insurance coverage. Many health professionals feel discouraged, overworked, and burnt out,” said Dr. Schroeder. “Thus, it is imperative that we celebrate courageous institutional leaders who have shown that they care about value, equity, and fairness by striving to do the right thing and thereby making their setting a model for others.” Last year’s Steven Schroeder Award was presented to J. Stephen Jones, MD, FACS, President and CEO of Inova Health System, Northern Virginia’s nonprofit healthcare system. “Receiving the Steven Schroeder Award for Outstanding Healthcare CEO was an immense honor and a testament to the unwavering commitment of the entire Inova team to provide accessible, affordable and exceptional patient care,” said Dr. Jones. “I am exceedingly proud to be part of an elite group of healthcare workers who are relentlessly focused on elevating the standards of care and putting the patients at the center of everything we do.”
“We want to hold up examples of leadership that inspire others to do the right things to take care of patients in ways that rebuild trust with our communities,” stated Chris Moriates, MD, Executive Director of Costs of Care.
“Every patient deserves the best possible care. Hospital leaders that put patients first are committed to improving patient safety and quality every minute of every day. They are also dedicated to delivering this care at a reasonable price,” said Leah Binder, President and CEO, The Leapfrog Group. “We are honored to recognize another outstanding CEO this year through this prestigious award.”
Nominations for the Steven Schroeder Award will be accepted through October 10th, 2023 – nominees must be CEOs for hospital and/or health systems that reported to the 2023 Leapfrog Hospital Survey. For more information on how to nominate a CEO for the prestigious Steven Schroeder Award, please visit Costs of Care.
