UC Davis Host Microbe Interaction Annual Retreat
Every year the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology holds a scientific retreat for graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty and staff. This annual research retreat on Host Microbe Interaction brings together the community of UC Davis researchers interested in any aspect of the interaction of microbes with vertebrate, invertebrate or plant hosts to foster multidisciplinary work, exchanges and collaborations.
The scientific program includes oral presentations, a poster session, invited keynote speaker(s) and social events. First year students have an opportunity to get to know fellow graduate students and colleagues while also learning more about faculty and lab research in the wide range of biological systems offered at our University.
The venue for this event is the Granlibakken Conference Center and Lodge, Tahoe City, CA., which is just minutes away from spectacular Lake Tahoe. An overnight stay at this setting ensures ample opportunity for interaction between faculty, postdocs and students during their joint meals and at the evening poster session. The next conference is scheduled for Fall 2025.
Congratulations to Our 2024 Host-Microbe Interaction Conference Oral and Poster Presenters and Winning Logo Design!
These oral presenters were recommended by their faculty mentor to present their research at the 15th Annual Research Conference on Host-Microbe Interaction at Granlibakken in Tahoe City, California.
Each presentation was well delivered, engaging and shared their contributions to their research project. The presentations were followed by questions from the conference attendees to allow the oral presenters to answer questions about their research work.

Host-Microbe Systems Biology Core
The Microarray Core Facility has expanded its services and changed names to the Host-Microbe Systems Biology Core Facility. In addition to gene expression profiling the core will offer library construction, next-generation sequencing and data analysis of microbial genomes.
