SUMMARY:U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (USAAW)
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week is November 12-18\, 2018. \nEach year in the United States\, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23\,000 people die as a direct result of these infections. Many more will die from complications by an antibiotic-resistant infection. \nJoin the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on November 12 – 18\, 2018 to observe U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week. Federal agencies\, health departments\, professional societies\, corporations\, and advocacy groups from across the nation will participate in this effort highlight the steps everyone can take to improve antibiotic prescribing and use. \nAntibiotics save lives and are critical tools for treating a number of common and more serious infections\, like those that can lead to sepsis. However\, at least 30% of the antibiotics in U.S. outpatient settings are prescribed unnecessarily. Any time antibiotics are used\, they can cause side effects and lead to antibiotic resistance\, one of the most urgent threats to the public’s health. \nImproving the way healthcare professionals prescribe antibiotics\, and the way we take antibiotics\, helps keep us healthy now\, helps fight antibiotic resistance\, and ensures that these lifesaving drugs will be available for future generations.

SUMMARY:IMOB 2018 - International Meeting on Optical Biosensors
DESCRIPTION:The 2018 International Meeting on Optical Biosensors – IMOB 2018 – will be held 15-17 November 2018 in Ghent\, Belgium. \nThe conference gathers experts and stakeholders in the field of biosensors to accelerate development of dynamic imaging approaches in all areas of biology and biomedical sciences. \nThe recent explosion of fluorescent biosensors development opens a new field of investigation by allowing the analysis of extremely specific biological events at the level of cellular organelles\, individual cells\, tissues and even entire living organisms in physiological and pathological conditions. \nAdditionally\, a range of new developments including optogenetic and optochemical tools allow systematic perturbation of biochemical processes while they are read out by optical biosensors. \nHighlighted session topics include: \n\nNovel Fluorescent Proteins and Specific Applications in Biosensor Imaging\nHigh-Content Screening Applications\nFRET-FLIM Imaging\nMonitoring Dynamics of Biological Events in Living Cells\nProbe Development\, Optimization and Performance\nPros and Cons of Various Detection Instruments\nSignal Quantification and Relevancy to Biological Event\n\nPlease visit the IMOB 2018 website for information on registration and sponsorship.
