Background Information
Hosted by SBRI, the Seattle Parasitology Conference (formerly Seattle
Protozoology Conference)
is held each year in the
spring. The conference was initiated in 1989 to provide a local forum for
presentation and discussion of research progress on the molecular and cellular
biology of protozoans, especially parasitic protozoans.
The first one-day meeting drew 30 attendees, all from
Seattle. In the intervening years, the conference has doubled in length, tripled
in attendance, and expanded its geographic scope, attracting scientists from
throughout the northwest U.S. and British Columbia.
