78th Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York
May 29 - June 3, 2013

We are pleased to host the 78th Cold Spring Harbor Symposium which will address Immunity & Tolerance. The Symposium will include 12/13 oral sessions and 2/3 poster sessions covering the latest research in diverse areas of immunology. Most of the talks will be given by invited speakers but we may select a few talks from openly submitted abstracts. Social events throughout the Symposium provide ample opportunity for informal interactions and will include a wine-and-cheese party, a beach picnic, cocktails and banquet, and departure brunch.
