Keynote speaker: Dr. Paul M. Allen from Washington University in St.Louis.
Title: Biological Consequences of Partial T Cell Activation
Our keynote speaker is the only faculty representative at the
Western Conference in Immunology. Dr. Allen, as have our
speakers in the past, has agreed to stay for the duration of the
conference weekend to lend pointers and allow us the chance to talk
to him at length.
This conference is a great opportunity to meet many of your fellow
peers in an informal, low-pressure setting and creates a forum, not only
for the discussion of current research and techniques, but also for
another chance to improve your skills at presentations through talks
and posters.
