Dormant stages present an obstacle in the therapy and elimination of infectious diseases such as malaria, Chagas disease, T. brucei, latent tuberculosis, bacterial biofilms, soil-transmitted helminths, etc. (even viruses like Ebola). Join a diverse mix of infectious disease specialists and student for a mutual learning event on overcoming the challenges of dormant, 'persister' stages in infectious diseases.

  • treatment options (molecules that kill dormant stages or wake them up)

  • disease control and elimination programs

Programme TBA
