18th International Congress of Mucosal Immunology

Here at the nation’s capital the 18th International Congress of Mucosal Immunology (ICMI) will be meeting from July 19th-22nd at the Washington Renaissance, less than two miles from our Washington DC bed and breakfast. This conference is a unique opportunity for scientists, clinical researchers, and industry professionals, as it is the only conference that concentrates solely on the complexities of the immune system and how it interacts with mucosal surfaces. The conference is designed for all experience levels in this field as the sessions will cover an array of topics varying from broad overviews to in-depth discussions.

What is the ICMI schedule? On Wednesday, the meeting will kick-off with the Keynote speaker delving into Novel Insights into the Mucosal Microbiome. Following this, the sessions will be broken into different categories for attendees to choose from, including Early-Life Host Microbiome Interactions in Immune System Development and Mucosal Viral Infection. Other sessions that will be offered are: Colonization Resistance, DC/Macrophage Biology, T Cell Responses to Commensal Bacteria, and IL-33 in Mucosal Inflammation. Additionally, if you’re interested in learning about the Principals of Mucosal Immunology you can register for this pre-conference meeting separately.
