Cells vs. Pathogens: Intrinsic Defenses and Counterdefenses (C4)

Cells vs. Pathogens: Intrinsic Defenses and Counterdefenses (C4) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held during Mar 23 - 26, 2018 at Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa On Del Monte Golf Course, Monterey, California, United States of America.

Conference description :
This conference will focus on host processes at the forefront of this battle and how pathogens are targeted. From the initial stages of non-self-recognition to the effector pathways engaged, these diverse pathogens are both manipulated and manipulating the system. Cutting-edge technologies are driving our deeper understanding of how core biological processes can be regulated in the favor of the host, or pathogen, and how these new mechanisms might be harnessed to treat diverse diseases. This meeting focuses on intrinsic mechanisms of defense across pathogens, bringing together diverse areas of expertise showcasing the convergence of pathways engaged.

Conference Topics :
• Cellular Barriers to Infection
• Pattern Recognition and Evasion
• Metabolic Control as a Defense
• Cell Biological Control of Infection through Capture
• Evolution and Co-Evolution of Intrinsic Defenses
• Systems Approaches to Discover Intrinsic Effectors plus one workshop

Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available
