# 2022 WOODS HOLE IMMUNOPARASITOLOGY MEETING

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA · 2022 · $6,000

## Abstract

This application for funding is to support expenses for the 2022 25th Annual Woods Hole
Immunoparasitology Meeting (WHIP), which brings together principal investigators, students and
postdoctoral fellows from around the world who are in the field of immunoparasitology. The 2022
meeting will be held on April 10-13, 2022 as an in-person meeting with virtual components. The annual
gathering of scholars in this field was established in 1997 with the intent to provide a collegial meeting
place for scientists to exchange ideas in this important field. The meeting averages 125 to 150
participants every year. While there are other meetings where senior principal investigators in this field
present their data, the focus of this meeting is to provide a forum where graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows present their work to each other and established investigators. The meeting also
aims to provide the opportunity to highlight new junior faculty in the field. The location was chosen
because of the strong association of the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) and the field of parasitology.
This relationship began almost 40 years ago with the establishment of the annual summer course,
“Biology of Parasitism,” and with the annual Molecular Parasitology meeting held in the fall at the MBL. It
is close to laboratories on the east coast, and accessible via direct flights to Boston from around the
world. Over 85% of the talks at the WHIP meeting will be given by either graduate students or post-
doctoral fellows, making this a unique meeting in the field. In addition to the oral presentations, all of the
students and post-doctoral fellows have the opportunity to present their work in poster sessions. Thus,
both in oral talks and poster sessions students and post-doctoral fellows in the field of
immunoparasitology gain valuable experience in presenting their data, as well as contacts that will be
useful for advancing their science and their careers.
