Monitoring Immune Responses
in Infection and Human Disease
Harvard Club of Boston | October 17, 2017
Bio-Techne is honored to host this educational symposium and share researcher’s insights from single-cell analysis to model systems, from pathogenesis to chronic inflammation. During this day we will ask and answer many questions in this fast-moving field. Please join us for what is going to be one of the best ways you could spend a day out of the lab or clinic.
Speakers will cover many aspects of immune response from innate immunity to cancer therapy. Talks will focus on timely and relevant topics associated with monitoring immune responses. You will have opportunities to network and learn from your peers during this one-day event in the hot bed of biomedical science. A great venue with lunch and post-symposium social hour are included.
