Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing and scientific committees, we are delighted to invite you to join us at the T4SS conference to be held in the city of Nancy, France on 17-20^th February 2025.

This conference is a major event in the fields of molecular microbiology and structural biology through the investigation of type IV secretions systems and their impact. As you know, the last conference was held in Germany in 2016. Due to the covid pandemic, the community has not been able to meet since. That’s why we’re looking forward to seeing you at this conference, which will be packed with new data from the last decade.

The conference will cover multiple facets of T4SSs biology including structure and function – host-pathogen interaction – bioinformatics – genomics, evolution and impact of bacterial conjugative transfer.

We are privileged to announce the esteemed presence of distinguished speakers including Professor Peter Christie (USA), Professor Gabriel Waksman (UK), Professor Suzana Salcedo (USA), Dr. Helene Chiapello (FR), Dr. Sagar Bhogaraju (FR), and Dr. Uli Klümper (DE).

Dr Badreddine Douzi and Dr Nicolas Soler
