Course Overview
Welcome to the 11th edition of our International Immunotherapy School. This year, we have invited leading experts from around the world to examine how aging reshapes immune cell development, tissue immunity, and systemic inflammation—and how these processes drive cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and impaired host defense.
The course integrates foundational immunology with emerging human and translational data, with a focus on actionable pathways and therapeutic strategies to restore immune balance in older adults.
It is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, clinicians, and investigators interested in aging biology, immunology, and translational medicine.
The 3-day course will be online via Zoom and feature live interactions with Postdocs, Ph.D. students and junior faculty from four continents.
