2020 Advanced Courses
This developing webpage will present the FEBS Advanced Courses Programme 2020.
The final list of courses funded by FEBS for 2020 will be available in autumn 2019 after the second call for event proposals, and then course summaries and links to the individual event webpages will gradually be added.
For updates on FEBS events and other activities, sign up to the FEBS e-newsletter (via the right margin of our News page).
FEBS PRACTICAL COURSES
State-of-the-art alternative infection models to study molecular mechanisms of human fungal infections
Jena, Germany
February 16–23, 2020
humanfungalinfectionmodels2020.febsevents.org
This course is designed to train graduate students, post-docs, and young independent investigators in state-of-the-art alternative infection models to study human fungal pathogens. Laboratory exercises include different infection models such as cell culture, interaction with primary immune cells, and alternative model hosts, and a wide array of read-out methods, e.g. adhesion, invasion, damage and phagocytosis assays, immunological methods and imaging. Invited speakers will provide further insight into fungal biology pathogenesis. Social evenings and joined meals provide ample opportunities for informal exchange with lecturers.
Organizers: Ilse Jacobsen, Bernhard Hube, Mark Gresnigt
