Pushing Boundaries in Emerging Infectious Disease Research

This Symposium will be hosted live and available on-demand

May 19-20, 2026
11:00 AM - 3:00 PM ET

Infectious diseases pose complex biological and public health challenges that demand innovative scientific solutions. Researchers now employ diverse approaches to study pathogen biology, examine host-pathogen interactions, and discover potential therapeutic targets.

In this symposium brought to you by The Scientist, leading experts will discuss how cutting-edge experimental and computational tools are advancing the study of infection mechanisms, enhancing disease surveillance, and supporting the development of next-generation interventions against emerging and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens.
