Invitation
Dear colleagues,
The Institute of Microbiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v.i., celebrates the 50th anniversary of foundation this year and in the frame of the celebrations a special Day of Immunology will take place on April 23, 2012.
This one-day symposium entitled "Day of Immunology 2012: Toward New Frontiers" will be dedicated to the memory of Professor Jaroslav Šterzl, MD., DrSc., the founder of modern Czechoslovak immunology, who passed away on April 8, 2012, one month short of his 87th birthday.
For this celebrative symposium, we managed to collect several important speakers from abroad who will present the results of their recent research. Members of the Department of Immunology and Gnotobiology of the Institute of Microbiology will also participate with short presentations about their current studies.
All of you are warmly invited to participate to this intensive day of scientific discussions. Students and young scientists are welcome to get the possibility to exchange ideas with the panel of international experts. The beginning of the Symposium is at 9:00 a.m., so take care to arrive some half an hour earlier in order to be in time for the necessary formalities.
This event was made possible by the cooperation of the Institute of Microbiology, the Czech Immunological Society, the Italian Institute of Culture in Prague, and our sponsors.
Looking forward to see you.
Cordially,
Luca Vannucci, MD, PhD
