The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) is sponsoring an intensive one week, 43-hour course designed for serious students of immunology.

Leading experts will present recent advances in understanding the biology of the immune system and its role in health and disease. The course is intended for scientists and advanced trainees who wish to expand or update their understanding of the field. This is not an introductory course and requires that attendees have a firm understanding of the principles of immunology.

Those seeking a basic, introductory course are referred to the AAI Introductory Course in Immunology, June 23 - 29, 2006, to be held at the University of Pennsylvania.

Financial support for underrepresented minority scientists is available through the FASEB MARC program.
