LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Learn up-to-date research results from speakers in selected areas biomedicine and global health.

2. Develop science presentation skills by watching experienced researchers present their results .

3. Practice critical and analytical thinking.

TIME/PLACE: Thursdays, 4:00 to 5:00 PM, T-747 Health Sciences Building, University of Washington; except as noted. There will be 3 to 5 seminars per quarter.

DESCRIPTION: Seminar speakers, most of them researchers on aspects of infectious disease, host responses, and pathobiological systems, will present their latest findings in research seminars. In addition to senior laboratory-based and clinical researchers, presentations in the areas of public and global health will be included. Most speakers will be from outside of the Pathobiology Program, however the schedule will also include occasional internal speakers. This will help foster intradepartmental communication.

GRADING: Enrollees must participate in all scheduled seminars each quarter. Exceptions will be made for unusual and unavoidable conflicts, and should be arranged with the instructor. A sign-in sheet will be distributed at each scheduled session. Enrollees may attend other seminars scheduled at the same time if the instructor is notified (include speaker and topic).

In addition to scheduled seminars, there are usually dissertation defenses each quarter. Students are strongly encouraged to support their colleagues' defense presentations if their schedules permit it.

In addition to participating in seminars, each student must write a brief (<2 paragraphs) discussion of ONE Pathobiology seminar of his/her choice per quarter. A detailed summary of the seminar is not needed. Instead, the discussion should address what the student considers to be the next steps in the research or projects presented by the chosen speaker. Discussions in electronic (Word or e-mail body text) or paper form must be submitted to the Course Organizer by the end of Finals week. Early submissions, which may written while a mid-quarter seminar is still fresh in a student's mind, are acceptable and encouraged. Discussions will be read and graded by the Course Organizer.

SPEAKER SCHEDULE: Current speaker schedule is below. Unexpected schedule changes are inevitable, usually at the request of speakers. Therefore, students are cautioned to check the schedule often.

All seminars are at 4:00 PM in T-747 Health Sciences Center, University of Washington, except as noted

Susan Carpenter, Ph.D.

Professor, Department of Veterinary Microbiology & Pathology
Washington State University

Title: "Strategies of Lentivirus Persistence: A Question of Balance"

Dr. Carpenter works on the mutational variation and immune selection of lentiviruses in natural hosts.

Thursday, April 30, 4:00 PM

Winter Quarter 2009 Pathobiology Graduate Student Symposium and Reception

Presenting: Second year and fourth year students

Thursday, May 7, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Infectious Disease Immunology Symposium

Note special location: Discovery Conference Room, Seattle Biomedical Research Institute

This one-day symposium will bring together international leaders in immunology with graduate students, post-docs and researchers in and around Seattle to stimulate discussion on the hurdles we face in the field of immunology.

PABIO 580 students are required to attend at least one speaker session in this symposium, if class schedule permits it. Registration in advance is required but free. For information and registration see: http://www.sbri.org/news/immunology_symposium.asp

Thursday, May 28, 4:00 PM

Robert G. Webster, PhD, FRS

Rose Marie Thomas Chair

Division of Virology, Department of Infectious Diseases

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Memphis, TN

Title: "Pandemic Influenza: Has the possibility of an H5N1 pandemic been overblown?"

Dr. Webster is a world-renowned expert in influenza virus protein function, viral immunology and vaccine development, and the emergence and control of new viruses. He has studied influenza for more than 50 years and was the first to identify the H5N1 lineage. He is the 2008-2009 Pathobiology student-invited speaker.
