Host pathogen interactions – from basic microbiology and immunology to medicine
Graduate School of Health Sciences at Aarhus University
Based on lectures from experts in the field, we will give examples of how viruses and bacteria or bacterial communities interact with the human host and have developed sophisticated strategies to avoid immune recognition and elimination, in order to promote microbial spread and survival in the organism. The course will provide examples of how the host responds to microbial challenge and how this interaction may lead to a mutually beneficial relationship, or alternatively, to inflammation, pathology, tissue destruction, and disease. Some translational aspects will also be covered, including how microbial infection may cause autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and development of malignancy.
