Latest News – Monday 21 June 2010
A very exciting new development in our phagocyte world is the joint decision of the European Phagocyte Workshop and the Society for Leukocyte Biology (SLB) (http://www.leukocytebiology.org) to link our websites and share information on forthcoming events and job vacancies in the future. This new link is aimed at facilitating the interaction between research groups in the field of phagocyte biology worldwide and should be useful to all of us.
As the first act of our new partnership with the Society for Leukocyte Biology, we would like to announce the 2010 Joint Meeting between the SLB & the International Endotoxin and Innate Immunity Society "The Three Rs of Immunity: Recognition, Response and Resolution". The meeting will take place October 7-9, 2010 in Vancouver, Canada. The Organizers from the SLB side are Bill Nauseef and Neil Reiner. Please have a look under the Events tab for more information.
Time also to start looking forward to the 2011 European Phagocyte Workshop. This will be from April 13-16, 2011 at the Mövenpick Resort in Iraklion, Crete, Greece, as part of the 45th Annual Scientific Meeting of the European Society for Clinical Investigation (ESCI). The organisers are Isabelle Maridonneau-Parini and Timo van den Berg, and they are currently busy finalising the list of invited speakers. Have a look under the Workshop 2011 tab.

What is Phagocytes.net?
Phagocytes.net exists to facilitate interaction between research groups in the field of phagocyte biology, mainly by listing phagocyte research groups in Europe, events, and job vacancies. The site is hosted by some of the regulars of the Phagocyte Workshop at the annual meeting of the European Society of Clinical Investigation which is held each spring in a different European country. We’re a mix of groups, ranging from basic to clinical research labs and working on anything from phagocyte development over phagocyte signalling or cell biology to the pathogenesis and treatment of phagocyte-related diseases. Most of us are neutrophil fans, but don’t let that put you off if you prefer monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells or dendritic cells, the site should be useful for all of us.
