Interferon: The epicenter of virus control and immune response regulation

Interferon: The epicenter of virus control and immune response regulation

A symposium in memory of Jean Lindenmann

Dear colleagues,

Jean Lindenmann, the previous head of our institute, passed away in 2015. To honor him we organize a one day meeting on August 25, 2016 to reflect his discoveries and provide insight in current cutting edge topics of interferon research. Please reserve the date. We look forward to seeing you in August in Zurich.
