8th International Symposium on Systems Biology of Microbial Infections

September 18 – 19, 2025

Jena, Germany

  

See you at SBMI 2025!


The systems biology of microbial infection aims to understand the interaction between hosts and pathogens by the integrative combination of experiment and theory. The focus of this symposium is on the interaction between the immune systems of humans or animals and bacterial or fungal pathogens. We welcome contributions that, for example, focus on

  • unraveling pathogenicity mechanisms by a systems biology approach
  • host-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions
  • reconstructing cellular networks based on time series data
  • analysing spatio-temporal aspects of infection processes
  • identifying diagnostic biomarkers and potential drug targets
  • exploring strategies for personalized therapy

The International Symposium on Systems Biology of Microbial Infection is taking place biennially since the year 2011 at the HKI-Center for Systems Biology of Infection in Jena, Germany.
