The goal of the meeting is to bring together researchers interested in various aspects of cell death, inflammation and immunity in animals and plants, with a particular focus on the mechanisms that link cell death with the immune response.
The meeting is organized in the context of the Collaborative Research Center 670 (CRC670) “Cell-autonomous Immunity” (speaker: Martin Krönke). CRC670 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is strongly supported by a community of immunologists in Cologne and Bonn aiming at understanding cell-autonomous immune response in plant and animal.
