*********
The current COVID-19 situation is challenging and difficult for all of us - we hope this virtual conference will allow colleagues to share and discuss their latest research, while under travel and stay-at-home restrictions.
*********
The tenth Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Gene Expression & Signaling in the Immune System, begins on Tuesday morning, October 13 and end after a 2 pm session on Friday, October 16, 2020. We are looking forward to a broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed on all scientific topics related to immune system gene expression and signaling. In addition to a strong focus on lymphocyte development and adaptive immunity, this year's meeting will also emphasize the molecular regulation of innate immune responses.
