3rd Symposium of Infectious Diseases in Africa:

Measurement of Immune Responses and 4th African Flow Cytometry Workshop: Detection of Antigen-Specific T Cells

We are pleased to inform you that two exciting scientific events will take place in November 2011

in Cape Town, South Africa, organized by the Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Cape

Town and Duke University.

The first event is a two-day symposium: “3rd Infectious Diseases in Africa symposium:

Measurement of Immune Responses” and will take place on 12-13 November 2011. The aims

of the symposium are: a) to bring leading international scientists in the field of TB, Malaria and

HIV together with young African investigators to discuss the latest immunology concepts and

measurement of cellular immunity to these diseases and b) to provide an opportunity for young

African investigators to present their research findings to experts in the field and to facilitate

collaborative research opportunities.

The second event is the “4th African Flow Cytometry Workshop: Detection of Antigen-

Specific T Cells” that will immediately follow the symposium from 14-18 November 2011. This

workshop will allow 12 scholars to receive an in-depth hands-on training on the most recent

techniques in multiparameter flow cytometry assays and to analyze and interpret complex sets of

data.

For consideration to attend these events, you will need to submit an abstract of your work and

complete the attached submission form. Scholarships will be awarded to 12 investigators who

submit outstanding abstracts allowing them to attend both the symposium and workshop.

Abstract submissions are now open until 12 September 2011. Please find enclosed the abstract

submission guidelines and submission form.

For more information and abstract submissions, please contact or send to the meeting

secretariat at car...@nicd.ac.za
