ECI 2018 Event Information
5th European Congress of Immunology
September 2-5, 2018, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The 5th European Congress of Immunology will cover all fields of modern immunology, ranging from innate memory and tissue specific regulation of T and B cell differentiation to unsupervised analyses of big data for diagnostics and combinational immunomodulatory biologicals. Sessions will be specifically dedicated to identify new discoveries in fundamental immunology that hold diagnostic and therapeutic promise and to tackle challenges that arise from connecting fundamental and translational science.Scientists from interdisciplinary fields, like data management, systems biology and multidimensional systems imaging will be there to form beachheads for novel directions of immunological research and optimised evaluations of clinical trials.
