The School
The SchoolThe B Cell Summer School is organized by members of the European B Cell Network (EBCnet), a research consortium within the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS).
The School will provide an up-to-date educational journey through B cell immunology, new technologies, and topics beyond B cell biology for advanced doctoral candidates and postdocs interested in B CELL BIOLOGY.
The program includes research presentations by all participants, lectures by internationally renowned experts, and interactive sessions to meet the speakers, discuss science, and foster networking within our European B Cell community.
We will also provide two break-out sessions. One will discuss a landmark paper in B cell immunology in a small group of 6 participants and one faculty.
