ICS is pleased to announce we will host a guest symposium at the upcoming AAI meeting:

"Complement: Key Modulator of Tissue Immunity and Inflammation"

This Symposium is now in its 10th year, and we have assembled an exciting session for the upcoming AAI congress:

• Dr. Monica Olcina (Oxford University, UK) - “Complement and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments”
• Dr. Valeria Ramaglia (Toronto University, Toronto, Canada) - “Complement as Driver of Age-dependent Progression: Insights from Multiple Sclerosis and a Mouse Model”
• Dr. Meng Wu (Washington University, Saint Louis, MO, USA) - “Local Complement as a Tissue Sentinel: Microbiota-Driven Immunity at Mucosal Barriers”
• Dr. Carl Atkinson (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA) - “Complement therapeutics in organ transplantation: Current approaches and future directions”

The symposium will be chaired by Drs. Carl Atkinson and Monica Olcina, and is organized by Drs. Erin E. West (NHLBI)  and Ben Afzali (NIDDK), in partnership with ICS leadership.  This guest symposium is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors.

We hope to see you there!
