Pathogens infect humans and all life forms on Earth, being able to cross species barriers, thereby adversely impacting human and planetary health. Fundamental research in infection biology is urgently needed to find therapies for longstanding and emerging infectious diseases.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EMBL Conference &#8216;The next generation in infection biology&#8217; is a platform for late-stage postdoctoral scientists in the field of infection biology to present their work and connect with the leading European institutions in infection biology. The speakers will be chosen for their track record of research accomplishments and their high-reaching future plans. The audience will have the unique opportunity to experience cutting-edge science presented by the rising leaders in this field. The institutional partners will provide discussion and networking opportunities to connect and shape the future league of infection biologists in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pathogen biology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Host-pathogen interfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Host genetics and immunology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-infectives (vaccines and antimicrobials)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Computational methods and analyses for infection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the conference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>This format was really made for postdocs seeking a professorship and it is just amazing! I got to speak &#8220;face-to-face&#8221; with PIs whom I would never have had the courage to approach in a normal conference. I got insightful comments for my career and I really hope this format repeats again.<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Cl\u00e1udia Vilhena, Leibniz Institute for Natural Products and Infection Biology, Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>The conference &#8216;The next generation in infection biology&#8217; was a fantastic experience. It brought together young investigators at a transition point in their careers to become independent group leaders, and established researchers who have shaped the field of infection biology. It was a unique opportunity to share science and network, and an excellent concept altogether.<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Mariana De Niz, Institute of Molecular Medicine,
