Modern Methods in Infection Biology

Participants will gain a deeper insight into important models of infectious diseases, for example helminths, staphylococci, trypanosomes, and will benefit from small group discussions and subsequent application of newly acquired knowledge and techniques in lab courses. The workshop provides a major opportunity for networking with local experts in the field, as well as establishing new networks with international peers.
Applicants should have advanced spoken and written English skills as all lectures and labs are held in English.
