18th International Symposium on Inborn Errors of Immunity

Category:

Description

The universe of primary immunodeficiency diseases is expanding at a fast pace. Currently, there are more than 460 primary immunodeficiency diseases and more than 400 disease causing genes. There have been recent advances in human immunology and in IEI. However, there are challenges in IEI ranging from interpretations of genetic variants to global access to care for IEI and challenges in HSCT and availability of gene therapy for IEI.  Leading experts from all over the globe will be discussing these areas at the 18th International Symposium on IEI to be held on the November 16th-181th, 2023 at VEA Newport Beach, Newport Beach, California.  

We invite you and your colleagues, fellows, and students to attend.  Space is limited to 100 participants. Therefore, early registration is encouraged. Deadline for registration is September 1

Sincerely, 

Jean-Laurent Casanova, Sudhir Gupta, Luigi Notarangelo
