The aim of the Latin-American Immunology Symposium is to create a space where Latin-American immunologists can meet to discuss their work and build or strengthen regional collaborations that will bolster the progress of immunology in Latin-America. In this year, the Symposium will include talks about basic and applied immunology, in the setting of infectious and inflammatory diseases.
