- Reposted by Olivier NeyrollesA great meeting ahead for host and pathogen aficionados! Keynote speakers: Florence Niedergang (Cochin) and Raphael Valdivia (Duke)- plenty of opportunities for early career researchers to present their work and a very collegial and supportive network. Belfast here we go! Please repost.
- SAVE THE DATE! The 2026 UK CellularMicrobiologyNetwork meeting will be held 22nd - 23rd of June at @wwiem-qub.bsky.social in Belfast. Researchers from the UK and beyond are invited to share exciting work on the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. Follow us to stay tuned! www.ukcellmicro.org
