Microbial infections lead to drastic changes in the architecture and metabolism of the host cell. The inaugural FEBS EMBO Cell Biology of Host-Pathogen Interaction Advanced Course explores the mechanisms underlying these changes and the functions they serve during infection from both the host and pathogen perspective.

Themes highlighted include:

1. Organelle-microbe conflicts
2. Host-pathogen communication
3. Technologies to illuminate host-pathogen interactions
4. Compartmentalization during infection
5. Metabolic control of and manipulation by pathogens
