Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School Ticks and Tickborne Diseases Symposium

The annual symposium is hosted by the Bloomberg School's Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology's Lyme and Tickborne Diseases Research and Education Institute.

The Ticks and Tickborne Diseases Symposium is the Institute’s premier annual event that brings researchers, principal investigators and other leaders in the field of Lyme and tickborne diseases together to exchange ideas, discuss trends associated with these diseases and to present the latest research findings in this critical and ever-changing field. Nicole Baumgarth, PhD, DVM, is the Institute's Director. Professor Baumgarth is an immunologist, researcher and expert in host responses to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. 

This year we are thrilled that our Johns Hopkins colleagues Frank Curriero, PhD, also of the Bloomberg School, and John Aucott, MD, and Paul Auwaerter, MD, MBA, of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine are joining us to share their contributions to research on tickborne diseases at Johns Hopkins.
