The Tufts Lyme Disease Initiative will be sponsoring a conference for Lyme disease researchers June 20-21st, at Tufts University, Medford, MA.  The goal of this conference will be to develop networks within the Lyme research community to ensure the future of the next generation of investigators. Be prepared for a different kind of conference filled with elevator pitches, speed networking for collaborations, meet the funders and “Shark tank” evaluation of proposals!!  

There will be no conference fee for attending.  Attendance is open to Lyme faculty researchers at all levels and to post-doctoral fellows who are committed to staying in the field of Lyme disease research (i.e. submitted a funding proposal to any government agency or foundation).  Due to space and cost limitations, registration will be limited to 75 participants.
