The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) is
sponsoring an intensive one-week 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 19-25, 2009, at the University of
Pennsylvania.
Financial support for underrepresented
minority scientists is available through the FASEB MARC Program.
The FASEB MARC application deadline has passed (June 1, 2009). |
