This meeting covers all aspects of parasite molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics and genomics, focusing on protozoan parasites. Presentations (talks and posters) by graduate students and post-docs are strongly encouraged..
PLEASE NOTE: that there has been an administrative change to the registration process. This year payment will be required at the time of registration, and you must register before submission of abstracts. In addition, all applications will be accepted at the time of registration and an electronic "certificate of acceptance" will be generated at that time. The meeting will be capped at a maximum of 480 and participants will be accepted in the order of registration. SO PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY!
