sensing by the innate immune system. There were also talks on using 3D cell culture systems to
study viral infection and using viruses as models for drug delivery design. This year Sarah Hofmann
from the group of Dr. Eva Herker at Heinrich-Pette-Institute in Hamburg was awarded a prize for
the best student presentation with the title "HCV's interaction with host lipid metabolism". Sarah
discussed how she has performed lipid profiling to determine how lipids change during hepatitis C
virus infection. Her award will allow for her to attend next year’s workshop for free.
The workshop would like to thank the German Society for Cell Biology (DGZ), the Society for Viro-
logy (GfV) and the company Reblikon for their years of both financial and administrative support
of the workshop. Additionally, this workshop would not have been possible without the generous
sponsorship of the Chica and Heinz Schaller (CHS) Foundation and Peprotech. We would also like to
thank all the keynote speakers for their exciting presentations on stem cell biology and participants
for the lively discussion and great atmostphere.
