Registration EXCLUSIVELY available for students and early-career researchers who are already registered to full congress program.
Objectives: To provide a multidisciplinary platform where leading experts in immunology, clinical medicine, and public health converge to share cutting-edge insights into the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of immune-mediated disorders. The school emphasizes both the molecular underpinnings and the population-level impact of immune-mediated diseases. Another important aim of this event is to foster translational and collaborative approaches that bridge laboratory discoveries with clinical practice and public health strategies. Participants will be exposed to the latest advances in immunogenetics, diagnosis and biomarkers, as well as targeted therapies, while also gaining insight into global disease burden, health system challenges, and strategies for early detection and prevention. By bringing together expertise spanning from molecular immunopathology to large-scale epidemiological studies, the school seeks to equip researchers, clinicians, and students with the knowledge and tools to address immune-mediated diseases in a holistic manner. Ultimately, the program aspires to inspire new collaborations, accelerate therapeutic innovation, and contribute to reducing the global burden of immune-related disorders by the new generation of scientists!
Target audience: Students and early career researchers how plan to pursue their academic path in immunology and immune-mediated diseases.
