if I was a postdoc looking to have an independent position in infection biology, EMBL Infection Biology transversal theme would be one of my top choices. I would be surrounded by brilliant colleagues, in a supportive environment with the latest technologies. @embl.org

Are you a postdoc ready for transition to an independent position? You connect infection biology with cutting-edge structural biology or multimodal imaging? Are you aware of such a colleague?

I am seeking speakers for "The Next Generation in Infection Biology" microsymposium on June 6 2025.

Lucia Serra brilliantly defended her PhD thesis. For the last 4 years she forged many friends and contributed to the development of the medical school doctoral program. Congratulations!

This innovative work answered some important questions and raised many interesting others. In my opinion, this is typically the sign of a good paper. Congratulations!

This will be an exciting venue to get a broad overview of host-pathogen interactions. Virus, bacteria, parasites. I'm sure we will learn a lot.

Have you finished your #PhD and are interested in exploring how #parasites cross the vasculature to colonize tissues? Do you fancy catching some #waves in the Atlantic? Or eating grilled fish by the beach?

Join us in #Lisbon at GIMM, where science meets quality of life.

I strongly recommend following this excellent network of parasitologists in France. They organize wonderful workshops at Les Embiez and train excellent students.
