Synopsis:
The upcoming symposium will focus on the different compartments that play a role in infectious diseases. Pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites use existing host reaction spaces or create new compartments. These reaction spaces protect the pathogens from host defenses and concentrate factors that contribute to replication. The complexity of the dynamics, structure and function of these diverse reaction spaces can only be fully analyzed in situ.
At the symposium in January, we will therefore address in two days and four different sessions the membrane modulations, the non-membranous compartments, the cytoskeletal processes and the role of lysosome & phagosome in infections.
The event will take place on site at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in cooperation with the Hamburg Leibniz Science Campus "Integrative Analysis of pathogen-induced Compartments" or InterACt for short. InterACt combines Hamburg expertise in the fields of infection, structural and systems biology with in situ imaging and bioinformatics methods.
