Microbial infections lead to drastic changes in the architecture and metabolism of the host cell.

The inaugural FEBS EMBO Cell Biology of Host-Pathogen Interaction Advanced Course explores the mechanisms underlying these changes and the functions they serve during infection from both the host and pathogen perspective.

Themes highlighted include:

1) Organelle-microbe conflicts

2) Host-pathogen communication

3) Technologies to illuminate host-pathogen interactions

4) Compartmentalization during infection

5) Metabolic control of and manipulation by pathogens
