2nd International Symposium

2nd International Symposium ImmunoMicroTope RTG 2740

April 09-11, 2024, Erlangen

 

WELCOME

It is a pleasure for the entire Research Training Group 2740 to invite you to the 2nd International Symposium on Immunomicrotope at the Institute of Clinical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene of the Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg and the University Hospital Erlangen from 09 – 11 April, 2025!

 

MAIN TOPICS

  • In situ analyses of the tissue micromilieu during bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections
  • Imaging of the immunomicrotope
  • Single cell RNAseq analyses in infectious disease immunology
  • Epigenetics and infection
  • Immunometabolism in infections
  • Immune cell migration and tissue repair
  • Myeloid cells and T lymphocytes as immunoregulators
  • Mucosal and intestinal immunology
  • Human infection models, organs-on-the-chip and system immunology
  • Pathogen metabolism and microbial modulation of immune responses

 

PLENARY SPEAKERS

  • Carmen Buchrieser, Paris (France)
  • Fernanda Novais, Ohio (USA)
  • Franziska Faber, Würzburg (Germany)
  • Gerald Späth, Paris (France)
  • Gordon Brown, Exeter (UK)
  • Joanna Maria Kalucka, Aarhus (Denmark)
  • Laura Dirkx, Antwerp (Belgium)
  • Malcolm McConville, Melbourne (Australia)
  • Marco Colonna, St. Louis (USA)
  • Matthew Hepworth, Manchester (UK)

The number of participants will be limited to 100. There will be no parallel sessions. During the three days of the meeting, 16 invited speakers will give main talks, whereas up to 15 short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. A separate poster session will be restricted to the PhD and medical students of the RTG 2740.

The goal of the meeting is to stimulate the scientific exchange on the micromilieu, metabolic and microbial factors that form the immmunomicrotope during infections.

The conference is an ideal forum for younger scientists to establish networks and to look for possible career options in the area of infectious disease immunology. The meeting will feature cutting-edge research by international leaders in the field. There will be many opportunities for personal interactions between all participants of the meeting.
