"This meeting will provide an update on phenotypic and functional aspects of regulatory T cells, aiming to inform, educate and entertain. Presentations will be delivered by world-class leaders in their respective fields and a lively discussion will follow each series of talks. Coupled with the pleasant ambience and modern facilities of the venue, this event promises to be one not to be missed" Meeting Chair: Dr Oliver Garden,The Royal Veterinary College & Imperial College London, UK
Abstract submissions are invite from PhD students and junior post docs (within three years of PhD graduation), from which ten will be chosen to be presented as posters and three to be presented orally; presenters of all of the selected abstracts will be reimbursed their registration fee on the day of the event. Of the three best abstracts chosen for oral presentation, the audience will vote on the best overall talk, for which the presenter will be awarded a prize of a year’s subscription to Nature Reviews Immunology at the conclusion of the day.
