On 26-27th of March, the Belgian Society of Immunology (VIB) hosts the congress:
Translational Immunology
With less than 3 weeks to go before the abstract deadline, the VIB would like to invite you to submit your research for poster or oral presentation at the first edition of Translational Immunology that will take place on 26 & 27 March 2020 in Ghent, Belgium.
If you have exciting research to share with an international panel of leading investigators such as Richard Blumberg or Laurence Zitvogel, then don’t forget to submit before 27 January 2020. The best two posters will be rewarded with a poster prize made possible by “Cellular Immunology”!
The aim of this conference organized by VIB – a non-profit life sciences research institute – is to bridge the translational gap in immunopathology, bringing together clinicians, research scientists and industry partners to discuss prominent advances from the bench to the clinic.
