ABOUT THE COURSE
The course will show how the understanding of modern immunology concepts and mechanisms leads to the development of novel or repurposed treatments. Particularly, the advances in CAR T cell therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, immunomodulators, and their broad applications in oncology, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity.
Our goal is to bring together trainees and mentors to promote the career progression of Latin American immunologists.
