Host-Microbe Biology
The Host Microbe Biology (HMB) track explores pathogenic and symbiotic relationships between microbes and their hosts, as well as the microbiome, and is the place for scientists studying genetics, physiology and virulence of microbes at the basic science level to get the latest insights on mechanisms that shape host-microbe relationships.
