mRNA is an exciting new technology that holds great promise to improve prevention and treatment in many different disease areas. We want to connect our immunology community to this growing field, empowering you to generate ideas for your research, start conversations and seek new collaborations.

TOPICS COVERED

  • Our expert speakers will present their work in the following areas before the session opens up for a discussion with questions from the audience.
