The Innate Immunity and Host Pathogen Interactions EMBO Symposium will be held from 28 June - 1 July 2020, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany. This symposium provides a discussion platform for all scientists interested in the biology of infection. Cell biologists, microbiologists and immunologists will discuss in joint sessions recent progress in our understanding of host-pathogen interactions. Talks will focus on common processes, rather than particular infectious agents or host cell types, and the strategies of all major types of pathogens in their interaction with plants and animals will be covered.

CANCELED for 2020. Further information can be found on the dedicated website.

Due to COVID-19, the organizers decided to reschedule the meeting, the new date is 6-8 August 2020.
