This 1.5 ECTS NDPIA course given in Lund/Malmö 161207-09 aims to provide an overview of the complex network of interactions between the human host and different microbes. The lectures will cover “immune evasion” from both the host’s and the pathogen’s point of view. Invited speakers will present ongoing research in the field of microbial immune-modulating mechanisms and give attendants deeper insight in methods and techniques that are useful for research within the field.
NDPIA emphasizes the importance to meet and discuss with other researchers within the field. Therefore, several networking activities are included in the course program and a free, informal dinner with invited speakers and course attendants will end day one.
Registration deadline: 7 November 2016
