This conference has already taken place.
Description
The field of infectious diseases (ID) is constantly undergoing changes in the approach to patient management that is being shaped and driven by expanding populations of immunocompromised patients, emerging and re-emerging pathogens, advances in new technologies, and better understanding of the biology of diseases and host-pathogen interactions. This symposium will provide updated information and new knowledge in these areas that are further specified in the attached detailed program agenda. The goal for this activity is to bring ID experts and other ID
related health care professionals in New York City, Long Island, Westchester and other nearby areas together with experts in currently relevant ID fields including bench and clinical research, as well as microbiology, pharmacology, vaccine development and public health research and updates.
