The 2-day conference on Translational Immunology will be preceded by the annual meeting of the Belgian Immunological Society (BIS). This satellite meeting “Fundamental Immunology: feeding the translational pipeline” will take place in the afternoon of 7 December 2020.
The BIS meeting will consist of two scientific sessions with presentations of:
- Max Mazzone - VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, BE
- Sophie Lucas - de Duve Institute, UCLouvain, BE
- Bénédicte Machiels - FARAH Center, ULiège, BE
- Keynote lecture 4: tba
The satellite meeting is free of charge for BIS members. If you are a BIS member, please pay your annual membership fees (https://bims.wiv-isp.be/SitePages/Join.aspx) and register to the BIS annual meeting by e-mail to Marta Romano (marta.romano@sciensano.be)
Non-BIS members can buy a registration ticket for the satellite meeting for 50 euro (excl. vat) at the Translational Immunology website
