Symposium Rationale and Objectives 
The wealth of transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics data generated for a wide range of infectious diseases reveal that small molecule metabolism is an integral part of disease progression. This includes manipulation of host metabolic processes by pathogens; pathogen metabolic adaptation to the hosts’ environments; and interspecies communication and signaling via small molecules; as well as the emergence of immunometabolism as a key aspect of host responses that lead to protection or pathogenesis.

Specific topics that will be addressed:

• The role of immunometabolism in infectious diseases
• Pathogen and host interactions leading to adaptation of metabolic states and processes
• Communication and signaling via small molecule metabolites
• Emerging technologies and translation

Abstracts will be chosen for oral presentations https://metabolism.idrtalks.colostate.edu.
