*Keynote Speaker
Elizabeth Winzeler, UC San Diego, Pediatrics
Dr. Elizabeth Winzeler has long exemplified innovative out-of-the-box thinking in Systems Biology. Her early work defined the field of barcoded gene knockout and knockdown libraries, which, in turn, opened up novel strategies for drug target discovery. At the national meeting this summer, Dr. Winzeler will discuss a new strategy for antimicrobial drug development based on genome sequencing of naturally evolved drug-resistant isolates.
