The International Symposium "Dynamism of Immune Reactions & Regulation" will be held on May 22-23.
This symposium was originally scheduled in May of 2011 as one of the events in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the University in Japan, but it was cancelled due to the aftermath of the huge earthquake and tsunami on March 11th, 2011. While restoration efforts are still in progress due to the scale of the national disaster, we are now confident that the situation will stabilize sufficiently in order to conduct the symposium in good order and safety. Therefore, the symposium is now scheduled on May 22-23 of 2012. We are looking forward to many people attending this event which has come
about through the cooperation of world-class immunologists.
