Our national keynote speaker is Dr. Santiago Gonzalez from the IRB in Bellinzona. Their common research thread focuses on visualizing the adaptive immune response during innate and adaptive immune responses, with publications in leading journals including Cell, Nature, Science Immunology etc.

Please fill out the registration form attached and send it back to josepha.ittner@bitg.ch by December 15 indicating whether you would like present your recent work in a 15 min-formate (12 min talk plus 3 min discussion). Attention: there is limited space for such presentations!

The best presentation from a young scientist will be awarded the "best junior presentation award"!

Also, do not forget to indicate whether you will be staying for lunch. We do need this information to adapt the food supply accordingly.

Kind regards and hope to see you in Bern on January 23, 2018!
