<b>Dear Colleagues,<br><br>
The 2002 Gordon Conference on Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions is
now in near final format, and we hope you will find it of interest (see
program and application information below). <br><br>
As you may know, Gordon Conferences are structured to maximize discussion
in a relaxed atmosphere, and for this we have an excellent site: Salve
Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. Salve Regina is a small
college overlooking the ocean at a spectacular spot, by the cliff walk
that borders a series of "Guilded Age" mansions. There are
extremely nice beaches just a short walk away, and also many other
attractions in the nearby town.<br><br>
The meeting registration is limited to 135, to ensure ideal conditions
for frequent discussions. We strongly encourage all attending to bring
posters for discussion - abstracts can be submitted online at the web
site indicated below. Please share this information with any colleagues
that might be interested in attending.<br><br>
Best regards,<br><br>
Norma Andrews, Yale University, chair<br>
David Roos, University of Pennsylvania, vice-chair <br><br>
