Dear Colleagues,
The 3rd Summer School of Immunology, organized by the
Department of Pathophysiology, School of Medicine of
the University of Athens, will be held from 27 June until
1 July 2011 on the picturesque island of Spetses in
Greece.
The aim of the Summer School is to provide students and
starting postdoctoral researchers insight into basic
immunology and recent developments, while promoting
their interaction with distinguished researchers from
Europe and the US. The Summer School will consist
of lectures, discussions and poster sessions allowing
students and postdoctoral fellows to present and
discuss their work.
We would therefore like to invite you to support our
effort by displaying posters in your department and
encourage your best PhD students and starting
postdoctoral researchers to attend. As space is limited
to 100 participants, early registration is encouraged.
Yours sincerely,
Athanasios G. Tzioufas, MDOn behalf of the Organizing Committee
