Immunology symposium, Leiden, the Netherlands
The EU-funded 'Forum for allergy prevention' (FORALLVENT) is organising a symposium on immunology in Leiden, the Netherlands, on 15 January 2009.
Under the title Novel Avenues in Prevention and Treatment of Allergies, the event will highlight new avenues for the prevention of allergic disorders.
Talks will cover the question of how chronic, low-level inflammation in different environmental settings leads to different immune profiles, with the aim of linking epidemiological findings to clinical outcomes. Regarding the role of the intestines in controlling the immune system, speakers will address the anatomy of the immune system associated with the intestines and inflammatory diseases of the intestines.For further information, please visit:
