Co-hosted by Chinese Society for Immunology (CSI) and British Society for Immunology (BSI), the 2nd CSI-BSI Joint Symposium on Immunology has been held in Chongqing on June 1 to 4, 2018. Around 30 immunologists were invited to attend and give a speech in the meeting.
The Chinese-British Joint Symposium on Immunology was designed as a platform to provide opportunities for the scientists to know each other, and chances for them to have face to face discussions about their co-interested issues. It is understood that only the mutual knowledge of each other and friendship are the solid start point for the bilateral collaboration between two countries.
For the academic ideas sharing and exchange, delegates from China and UK made brilliant reports mainly focused on: novel regulatory immune cell subsets, NK cell function in anti-tumor immunity, virus infectious immunity in infants, innate lymphoid cell, inflammation and immunity in ageing, B cell immunity.
