We are pleased to announce the second Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Systems Immunology. We are looking forward to a broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed on all scientific topics related to systems biology approaches to normal and pathological functions of the immune system. The meeting will be held virtually, beginning late morning EST on Tuesday, April 20, and ending late afternoon EST on Friday, April 23, 2021.

The meeting is intended to promote cross-disciplinary exchange between experimental, computational and mathematical biologists studying the organization, functions and regulation of the immune system at various scales. Our goal is to establish a recurrent forum that brings together immunologists and systems biologists in this nascent field.

The format of the meeting will include eight oral sessions and virtual poster presentations. Each oral session will include invited speakers and speakers selected from submitted abstracts. For this reason, abstracts from accomplished junior and senior investigators are enthusiastically invited. The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished data. The organizers will select abstracts for oral or poster presentations. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site (below) as soon as decisions have been made. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs.

We have funds to provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent residents from minority groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please provide justification in writing to Val Pakaluk and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
