4th AII Annual Symposium: The current and next pandemic

With a pandemic raging and future pandemics inevitable in this increasingly globalized world, the fields of study from our institute have never been more relevant. Meeting the challenges ahead will benefit from bringing together precisely the expertise represented in the three programs of our institute: while infectious disease and inflammation are obvious, much can also be learned about immunity against viruses, from immunity to tumors, and vice versa. We have put together a scientific program that caters to basic and clinical researchers, with plenary speakers that cover each of these programs and a thematic connection with pandemics. We will have a panel discussion with national opinion leaders. We will hear from a world-renowned vaccine developer and from one of the pre-eminent Chinese researchers involved in the early response to Covid19.
