This course is designed to train graduate students, post-docs, and young independent investigators in state-of-the-art alternative infection models to study human fungal pathogens. Laboratory exercises include different infection models such as cell culture, interaction with primary immune cells, and alternative model hosts, and a wide array of read-out methods, e.g. adhesion, invasion, damage and phagocytosis assays, immunological methods and imaging. Invited speakers will provide further insight into fungal biology pathogenesis. Social evenings and joined meals provide ample opportunities for informal exchange with lecturers.
