Mycobacterium Symposium

A major goal of the Center is to foster the development of key areas of strength towards new collaborations and grant submissions. To this end, we will organize a series of symposiums to bring investigators together. First up, the Center held a day-long symposium entitled, “Symposium on Mycobacteria, Tuberculosis and Host Defense” on November 21st, 2008. Invited to present at this seminar were faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students currently working in TB-related research at LSUHSC-NO, Tulane University Primate Research Center and LSU-Baton Rouge. Approximately twenty participants attended 12 presentations covering a wide of array of ongoing projects in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), tuberculosis and vaccine development. Follow up plans include a regular journal club/discussion group and a further symposium.
