About the India-EMBO Lecture Course
Cell-autonomous defense encompasses the inherent mechanisms of the cell that allow individual cells to protect themselves from infectious and inflammatory dangers. Recent advancements in the field include identifying new sensors of pathogens, mechanisms of pathogen killing and immune evasion, epigenetic memory of innate immunity, role of innate immune response, cell death, and autophagy in controlling pathogens. Knowledge of genetically inherited, cell-intrinsic immune responses could be harnessed for medical applications, including host-directed therapeutic strategies against cancers and infectious diseases.
The symposium offers an exclusive opportunity to expand one's understanding of innate immunity, autophagy, and cell death with scientists with profound experience and expertise delivering talks in each specialized area. This meeting will serve as a platform for researchers to interact and share their latest findings and insights. This meeting will facilitate networking among scientists from India and abroad, leading to newer collaborations, ultimately driving the field forward. Presentations and discussions during the meeting provide a platform for researchers to receive valuable feedback and constructive criticism from their peers. Additionally, there will be a series of short talks and poster presentations. Overall, attendees can learn about the latest developments, challenges, and breakthroughs in the fields of innate immunity, autophagy, and cell death, and expect an enriching and vibrant learning experience and discussion.
