We are pleased to announce our next meeting of the Grenoble Host-Pathogen Interactions club, consisting of two webinars on Tues. March 30.
We are very fortunate to have a special guest lecture by former Grenoble (IBS) PhD student Andrea Carfi.
Dr. Carfi is currently Vice-President of Moderna and will speak about the development of their COVID-19 vaccine.
His talk will be preceded by a webinar by IBS Group Leader Andrea Dessen, who will showcase her long-time research on the cell wall of pathogenic bacteria and the search for new antibiotic targets.
2:15 pm - Andrea Dessen
Group Leader, Bacterial Pathogenesis Group
Institut de Biologie Structurale, Grenoble
How to make a bacterial cell wall: tales of the master builders
3:00 pm - Andrea Carfi
Vice-President and Head of Infectious Disease Research
Moderna, Inc., Cambridge MA, USA
