Due to the current situation in Israel, we regret to inform you that the conference “The Host-Microbe interface - evolution, mutualism and pathogenesis ” originally scheduled for March 26-28, 2024, at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot cannot proceed as initially planned.
Host-microbe interactions, whether resulting in mutualism or infection, are inherently complex, holistic, and therefore multidisciplinary. They occur in the presence of other microbial species and at the interface or within host tissues. This meeting aims to bring together scientists from different disciplines involved in unraveling host-microbe interactions to better understand how these encounters occur, how interaction patterns have been established through evolution, and what their outcomes are. This meeting is intended to be the first in a series to be held every two years to build the community around this important topic.
Session topics:
· Responses to microbes
· Microbiota
· Antimicrobials
· Innate immune responses
· Cell biology of infection
· Microbiology
· Mucosal immune responses
· Evolution
