Microbiology and Immunology

Microbial pathogenesis and host defense mechanisms

This track will focus on the intricate relationship between microorganisms and their hosts. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into the complex mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and host defense, including how pathogens invade host cells, evade immune responses, and cause disease. In addition, discussions will also cover the latest developments in host defense mechanisms, including the immune response, inflammation, and immune system dysregulation. By attending this track, you will gain a deeper understanding of how pathogens interact with their hosts, and how this knowledge can be used to develop new therapies and vaccines to combat infectious diseases.
