2021 ASI Advanced Immunology School

"Immune Challenges"

The second ASI Advanced Immunology School will be held from 12-15 October 2021 at Long Point Conference Centre, Long Point, Sydney, NSW.

The theme for the 2021 AIS will be ‘Immune Challenges’.

The ASI-AIS aims to provide training in advanced and cutting edge basic and clinical immunological research for early career researchers with a sound background knowledge in the principles of immunology in a friendly scientific environment.  

The 3-day program will consist of presentations by expert scientists and round-table discussions to give in-depth understanding of recent advances and emerging themes in immunology, workshops on immunological technologies and sessions to enhance professional skills including scientific writing and reviewing. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their own research.

The interactive nature of the ASI-AIS aims to provide a platform for communication between the participants and teaching faculty and for establishing new collaborations and professional networks.
