    INNOVATIONS IN HUMAN HEALTH:

    THE BIOFILM QUESTION
    [TABLE=”align: center”]

    During the last thirty years, medical researchers have identified startling new facts of how bacteria survive in nature, man and beast. We humans depend on biofilm communities, the predominant microbiological life form, but they sometimes work against us by contributing to chronic disease. So how do we keep these life forms in check when they cause chronic wounds? Periodontal infections? Hospital infections? And myriad other conditions that cost our country more than $100 billion annually?

    We’ll delve into these medical problems with our panel members, watch short films and invite your questions as we focus on one of America’s biggest healthcare challenges.

    5:30 to 6:30 PM:

    Welcome reception: finger foods, refreshments and networking among your hosts, faculty and panel members. Also view students’ research and poster boards on biofilm topics.

    6:30 to 7:00 PM:
    Introduction and opening remarks: Richard Longland and Tom Webster, PhD

    7:00 to 8:00 PM:
    Film shorts: three biofilm-centric videos in dental, orthopedic and wound areas. Each film is followed by commentaries from panel members.

    8:00 to 8:30 PM:
    Panel discussion: our experts bridge the gap across medical specialties and discuss a unifying method of diagnosing and treating biofilm diseases.

    8:30 to 9:00 PM:
    Question and answer: Here’s your chance to ask our panel members your tough questions on biofilms, covering all areas of human health.

    9:00 to 9:30 PM:
    Closing remarks: Tom Webster, PhD.
