Microscopical collaboration

The recent Microscience 2008 meeting saw the first formal collaboration between the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) and the Society for General Microbiology (SfGM) with the introduction of a new satellite meeting at this major biennial event. The one-day SfGM meeting concentrated on the cellular aspects of infection and consider both cell invasion processes and the ‘tussle’ that takes place when a host cell tries to fight against a pathogen replicating within the cell.

Dr Paul Monaghan, an RMS secretary and head of bioimaging at the Institute of Animal Health, Pirbright, said: “The meeting proved to be extremely interesting and demonstrated the understanding that now exists of the cellular battle, as illustrated by the cutting-edge viewpoints presented during the event.”
