PAraCon

Established in 2018, PAraCon is a dynamic 1.5-day event held each summer (June/July), designed to bring together parasitologists and researchers from across the region. The conference features:

• Engaging Presentations showcasing cutting-edge research
• Interactive Poster Sessions for sharing ideas and discoveries
• Networking Opportunities to build meaningful collaborations
• A Personal Welcome Reception to kick off the experience

Pennsylvania is home to a vibrant community of parasitologists, and PAraCon was created to strengthen those connections, foster collaboration, and amplify research impact. Today, the conference draws participants from partner institutions in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut—expanding its reach and influence.

This event is proudly supported by the J. Lloyd and Dorothy F. Huck Institutes for the Life Sciences at Penn State and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF).

This is your chance to connect, share, and grow with leading experts in parasitology!
