Host-Pathogen Interest Group Meeting

First Friday of the month, 2 PM, 177 Life Sciences Addition

This monthly meeting provides a format for members of the UCB community interested in host-pathogen interactions to form new connections.  The format of the meeting is either a "work-in-progress" talk or a journal club presentation.  The choice of which is up to the presenter.  Journal club papers have a host-pathogen focus and, when possible, will highlight topics to be covered in an upcoming Immuno or Microbiology seminar   (http://mcb.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/seminars.cgi).
