Pathogen-host-interactions of major animal infectious diseases and zoonoses
Island of Spetses, Greece, 9-15 September 2012
|
Advanced lecture course intended for Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scientists
This summer school will provide a forum for learning and discussing the latest insights into the molecular mechanisms of bacterial, viral and parasitic infections in their natural animal hosts. Emphasis will be on approaches that are at the frontier of current knowledge, including genomics, bioinformatics and structural biology. Key molecular mechanisms underlying host and tissue specificity leading to the emergence of new microbial infections will be discussed with top scientist working on these topics.
The summer-school is designed as an intensive lecture and training course limited to 60 successful applicants in the fields of animal or zoonotic pathogen-host interaction research.
The registration deadline July 15th 2012 or as soon as the course is booked out.
