Please look at the 3rd issue of NBS-Nytt for a more comprehensive overview of the 54th NBS-Contact meeting. Here we present three additional plenary speakers and 3 young talented national speakers. The 54th NBS contact meeting will be organized at Meetingpoint Hafjell Hotel & Resort, 18th to 21st of January 2018. The destination is located just north of Lillehammer, approximately 2.
... 5 hours from Oslo by bus or car and 2 hours from Oslo Lufthavn, Gardermoen. The hotel has been completely renovated in 2017 with all rooms individually decorated to stimulate for open-air activities....some might even be able to sleep in a hammock. Urinary tract infections and new antimicrobial strategies
Scott Hultgren, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, USA
How can the motor protein dynein transport so many different cargos? And what does the whole dynein look like at an atomic level? These are some of the research questions that Andrew Carter's lab at the MRC LMB in Cambridge is working on. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very common with significant impacts on quality of life and health care costs. The rise of antibiotic resistance within bacteria that cause UTIs is making it imperative that we find new therapeutic targets for this disease. The Hultgren lab is studying many aspects of UTIs including bacterial mechanisms important in disease, host response, disease outcomes, susceptibility markers, and avenues for the development of new therapeutics. Their work is changing the way UTIs are evaluated, re-shaping models of bacterial infections in general, and spawning development of novel vaccines and anti-microbial therapeutics to diagnose, treat and prevent UTIs and their sequelae. Prof. Hultgren received his Ph. D. in Microbiology from Northwestern University (1987), and did postdoctoral work in the laboratory of Staffan Normark at the University of Umea, Sweden (1987-1989). He became an Assistant Professor of Molecu
