SIICA/SYIS Joint Symposium – Multi-omics approaches in immunological research, 3-4 November 2023 – Rome

Following the great success of the “yEFIS 1st Symposium: Shaping the Future of Immunology in Europe” (10-11 November 2022, Berlin-Germany), organized by the European Federation of Immunological Societies Young Immunologist Network (yEFIS), the Italian Society of Immunology, Clinical Immunology and Allergology (SIICA) members and the Swiss Young Immunologist Society (SYIS) members announce the organization of the “Multi omics approaches in immunological research” Joint symposium that will be held in Rome, Italy (3rd and 4th November 2023).

With the objective of fostering the principles of yEFIS to build a European network for young immunologists, this symposium aims at gathering European early-career researchers and internationally recognized speakers by promoting the exchange of knowledge through oral and flash talk presentations, poster sessions and dedicated workshops.

Considering the fast advent of omic- technologies, this symposium aims to show the power of the cutting edge technologies (i.e. single cell RNA analysis, spatial single cell analysis, metabolomics) that have so far revolutionized the study of immunology, guiding the young researchers at the suitable approach for their researches.
