NIAID Neuroimmune Interface Center Symposium

Neuroimmune Interfaces: From Barriers to Circuits in CNS Health and Disease
About this Event

We are bringing together an outstanding group of intra- and extramural investigators whose work spans immune cell dynamics within the CNS and its barriers, across contexts including normal physiology, infection, autoimmunity, injury, and neurodegeneration.

A day of discovery at the crossroads of neuroscience and immunology.
