Symposium_2014
Symposium ‘Metabolism Meets Virulence’
The second international symposium ‘Metabolism Meets Virulence’ is part of the DFG-funded priority program SPP1316: ‘Host-adapted metabolism of bacterial pathogens’. The SPP1316, 17 research groups currently investigate the mechanisms of bacterial metabolism during infection. The symposium will cover infection models for study of specific pathogens, regulation of metabolism during infection, analytical approaches for quantification of metabolomes and metabolic fluxes, as well as bioinformatics for quantification and modeling metabolism during invasion.
About 150 national and international speakers and participants are expected to join the symposium. These will include biologist and physicians working on infectious disease, analytical biochemists and bioinformaticians. The symposium is expected to demonstrate the recent progress in SPP1316 and to further foster interdisciplinary scientific collaboration.
The symposium Metabolism Meets Virulence 2 will be made possible by generous support by the DFG, Leopoldina and DGHM.
