Description |
|
| The aim of this workshop is to advance our current understanding of eukaryotic innate immunity by bringing together investigators from two distinct fields: plant disease resistance and animal innate immunity. The commonalities of the molecular mechanisms developed by plants and animals suggest a potential common origin of these pathways; the degree to which we can exploit these common themes for new discovery will be explored. We will also discuss the role of computational biology, particularly in detecting remote homologies, in protein structure prediction and in reconstructing the evolutionary histories of the protein superfamilies that make up the innate immune arsenal of eukaryotic organisms. | |
