ASM Microbe 2019 showcases the best microbial sciences in the world, and provides a one-of-a-kind forum to explore the complete spectrum of microbiology from basic science to translation and application.

Dr. James Clinton is an expert at developing advanced cell biology models for the scientific community. Watch his presentation to gain an overview of the Human Cancer Models Initiative (HCMI), and of the technologies driving the development of these “next-generation” models that hold promise to transform in vitro cancer research.

• There is an unmet need for novel preclinical cancer models that better reflect the genotype and phenotype across the spectrum of cancer found in the patient population.
• The HCMI is funded by the National Cancer Institute, Cancer Research UK, Wellcome Sanger Institute, and the foundation Hubrecht Organoid Technology, and seeks to generate 1000 novel cancer models that will be manufactured and distributed by ATCC.
• A wide variety of patient-derived in vitro cancer models are offered, including 3D organoids and neurospheres, as well as conditionally reprogrammed cells and other 2D models.

The American Society for Virology (ASV) invites you to participate in the 38th Annual Meeting to be hosted and held at the University of Minnesota. This annual meeting is designed to promote discussion and collaboration among scientists active in all aspects of virology.

AMP 2019 brings together key researchers in every aspect of molecular diagnostics, including interpretation and reporting of molecular diagnostic tests; assay development, validation, and performance; and translational research.

The ASTMH Annual Meeting is a five-day educational conference that draws nearly 4,500 attendees—researchers, physicians in global health and tropical & travel disease, military personnel, and public health officials from around the world.
