This intensive mast cell training school is designed to provide young investigators (under 35 years old), with or without mast cell background, with the means to discover new targets for the regulation of mast cell function and to design preclinical and clinical studies to treat mast cell driven diseases.
We have gathered experts in the mast cell field to deliver lectures highlighting the latest advances in therapies targeting mast cells by covering recent progress in our understanding of mast cell contributions to health and disease, as well as novel therapeutic strategies.
Speaker list includes Francesca Levi-Schaffer, Adrian Piliponsky, Frank Siebenhaar, Joakim Dahlin, Stephan Frischbutter, Anne Dudek, and Martin Metz.
The 1.5-day mast cell training school will be in-person at the Lecture Hall of the Institute of Allergology in Berlin, Germany (https://ifa.charite.de). Accommodations and meals will be covered by EMBRN.
