About the EMBO-FEBS Lecture Course
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

Since 2005 EMBO and FEBS have collaborated to co-fund the EMBO|FEBS Lecture Courses. In 2025 we celebrate the delivery of over 50 courses funded together. To mark the occasion, this course will present a Joint FEBS|EMBO Lecture Courses Special 2005–2025 Award to an early-career researcher course participant. More details will be given at the start of the course.
About EMBO Courses and Workshops
EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).
Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.
