Friday Seminars Inflammation & Immunology - edition 2024
The “Friday Seminars in Inflammation & Immunology 2024” is a continuation of the successful Friday Seminars I&I 2023 -previous seminars”. By joining forces between the Centre of Excellence Infla-Med and the FGGW Spearhead "Inflammation", we aim to increase the target audience and expertise in the domain of inflammation and immunology. With a series of six interactive seminars with each time a tandem of one UAntwerp junior and one (external) senior researcher as speakers in selected topics, this initiative aims to provide a forum for knowledge exchange, expertise identification and networking opportunities within the Faculties of BMW and GGW and the international collaborative network of Infla-Med (incl. a YUFE partner and X-HiDE Centre of Excellence Orebro, Sweden).

Supported by FGGW & Antwerp Doctoral School’s “Omkadering Jonge Onderzoekers”.
