As a first iteration, we have planned a full-day symposium with invited speakers and parallel sessions on Infection/Inflammation and Allergy/Autoimmunity. The program will include both oral presentations and poster sessions based on selected abstracts.
Confirmed keynote speakers
- Mihai Netea (Radboud UMC)
- Paul de Vos (UMC Groningen)
- Olaf Perdijk (UU)
- Suzanne Abbring (WUR)
- Casper Schalkwijk (Maastricht UMC)
- Janneke Samsom (Erasmus MC)
- Marianne Boes (UMC Utrecht)
