We would like to extend a warm welcome and invite you to the NK/ILC symposium 2024, which will take place at the amphithéatre Mérieux, Ecole Normale Supérieure, in Lyon, France on October 16-18, 2024.
The NK/ILC Symposium traditionally takes place in Germany each year, initiated by the Study Group "NK cells and ILCs" of the German Society for Immunology (DGFI).
The meeting will bring together experts in innate lymphocyte biology, and cover the latest emerging concepts in the field, their clinical translation, and the application of cutting-edge high-resolution technologies. The meeting will host researchers, industrials, and clinicians with a common interest in NK cells and ILCs. It will discuss how the current understanding of the development and biology of NKs and ILCs might enable development of next-generation therapies in cancer and chronic infections.
The 3-day conference will host renowned international keynote and plenary speakers from all over the world. This international blend will serve as an incubator for new ideas and exchanges. It will also exhibit cutting-edge research on a wide range of topics and promote the next generation of researchers in oral presentations and poster sessions. The sessions will cover new discoveries from basic science to direct translational applications in patients.
Lyon is the second-largest urban area in France and is renowned for its history in infectious diseases and vaccinology. The city is also known for its cuisine and gastronomy, and historical and architectural landmarks; part of it is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We look forward to your participation and welcoming you in the beautiful city of Lyon!
