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

Transport

Easiest way to get to Padua is from Venice Marco Polo Airport

There is a bus that goes directly to the Padua train station. From there it is about a 20 minute walk to the hotel (or ~5 minute cab ride). The walk is beautiful and takes you through some of the Padova sites and city center!

About the Area

Padua is a beautiful and charming city in the Veneto region of Italy that boasts an incredible scientistic, historic, and artistic heritage (it is thought to have been founded between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC). It appears twice in the UNESCO World Heritage List for its Botanical Garden (the oldest in the world) and the Scrovegni Chapel (painted by Giotto). It is home to one of the oldest universities in the world (founded in 1222) and was home to scholars and scientists including Galileo Galilei and Nicolas Copernicus.
