Host Directed Therapeutic Strategies to Combat Infection and Reduce Emergence of Drug Resistance Conference
This symposium will bring together individuals who focus on anti-pathogen therapies directed at host mechanisms in an effort to limit the emergence of drug resistance and develop new strategies for treatment of infectious diseases. It will highlight this therapeutic approach from conception of new therapies to their application.
Key Sessions
Host directed therapies for bacterial infection
Host directed therapies for viral infection
Host directed therapies for other infections
Identification of cellular targets for host directed therapies
Methods to identify new host directed therapies
Emergence of drug resistance with host directed therapies and future work
Learning Objectives
To inform the audience about related host directed therapeutic approaches
To outline the development of host directed therapeutics from identification of target/compound to formulation to application in relevant infectious models.
Target Audience
The target audience will be multidisciplinary and include medical doctors, scientists and engineers studying microbiology, immunology, chemistry, and applied sciences related to treatment of infectious diseases. As this is a new therapeutic strategy, relatively few companies are involved in production of host directed therapy, so a majority of the audience is anticipated to be academic or from governmental agencies.
Educational Need
The development of treatments for infectious diseases is primarily focused on direct pathogen to drug therapies, whereas emerging therapies that are host directed are thought to lessen the emergence of drug resistance. Host directed therapies have also been shown to recover drug sensitivity to traditional antibiotics.
Therefore the future of treating infectious diseases should include the development of compounds or strategies that target the host.
