The systems biology of microbial infection aims to understand the interaction between hosts and pathogens by the integrative combination of experiment and theory. The focus of this symposium is on the interaction between the immune systems of humans or animals and bacterial or fungal pathogens. We welcome contributions that, for example, concentrate on
- unraveling pathogenicity mechanisms by a systems biology approach,
- reconstructing cellular networks based on time series data,
- analysing spatio-temporal aspects of infection processes,
- identifying diagnostic biomarkers and potential drug targets,
- exploring strategies for personalized therapy.
You are cordially invited to attend this international symposium that takes place biennially at the HKI-Center for Systems Biology of Infection in Jena, Germany.

Time The symposium will be held on September 21-22, 2017. Place The symposium will be located in the city of Jena, Germany, at the HKI-Center for Systems Biology of Infection that is part of the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology – Hans-Knöll Institute (HKI), Beutenbergstrasse 11a, 07745 Jena, Germany. |

Abstract
You are invited to submit your abstract for a presentation of your recent work not later than June 15, 2017.
NEW FORMAT "Tandem-Talk": You can now choose between three options for your presentation, which are the usual poster and talk presentations as well as a tandem-talk presentation. A tandem-talk will be given by two speakers on the same topic, i.e. the speakers will switch back and forth one or more times during their common presentation. In this way, we want to strengthen the idea of systems biology and naturally expect an experimentalist and a theoretician to team up in such a tandem-talk. We think that this enables to more comprehensively represent both aspects of a systems biology project. To support this format, speaking time for tandem-talks will be twice as long as for normal talks.
Registration
For early bird registrations before August 1, 2017, the participation fee is 100 € per person.
