Inflammation is an expanding public health problem as it intervenes in diverse chronic diseases (IBD, RA, chronic respiratory disease, atherosclerosis, asthma…) as well as in cancer and transplantation
Progress in the treatment of these immune mediated inflammatory disorders depends upon the successful application of immunology to clinical medicine. Innovative strategies for immunotherapy for cancer, autoimmune diseases, transplantation have been developed. An increasing number of clinicians is using immunotherapeutic approaches or protocols and particularly for chronic diseases with immunological features (ie Chronic inflammatory disease, Transplantation, oncology) The immune system also plays a key role in the rejection of transplanted organs, and in defense against invading cancer cells. Moreover the relatively new field of regenerative medicine relies upon tolerance of the immune system to stem cells.
There is therefore a clear need for a regular update in immunology and innovative therapies based on the immune system for practitioners and biomedical scientists.
We invite you to participate in this high level Intensive educational course on the principles and practice of innovative Immunology-based therapies.
