Topic: drug resistance

This symposium compares mechanisms of drug resistance, tolerance and persistence in bacteria, fungi and cancer. It explores how genetic change, non-genetic cellular plasticity, biochemistry and metabolism combine to let cells survive treatment. Themes include evolution under drug pressure, genome plasticity, stress responses, cellular fitness and the ecological context of drug responses. Efflux, microenvironmental effects and other extracellular contributors are considered alongside cellular states and biochemical mechanisms. By comparing systems across species, the programme aims to deepen un

The twenty-third BioMalPar conference connects malaria parasite biology with human-host responses, mosquito vectors and the environmental and public-health conditions that shape transmission. Scientific sessions examine parasite development within hosts, immune evasion and host-pathogen interactions, epidemiology, drug resistance and evolutionary change. Vector biology and mosquito-parasite dynamics are considered alongside systems biology, omics and emerging experimental technologies. The meeting provides a cross-disciplinary setting for researchers at different career stages to relate molecu
