Microbial infections lead to drastic changes in the architecture and metabolism of the host cell. The inaugural FEBS/EMBO Lecture Course on Cell Biology of Host–Pathogen Interactions explores the mechanisms underlying these changes, and the functions they serve during infection from both the host and pathogen perspective. Themes highlighted include: metabolic control of and manipulation by pathogens, organelle–microbe conflict, the regulation of intracellular compartments, formation of distinct pathogen vacuoles, avoidance of cell-autonomous innate immunity, and emerging technologies that can be applied to the host-pathogen interaction.
