Description

Immunological decisions are reached by processes that include not only molecular interactions within cells but also large populations of migrating, proliferating, differentiating, and interacting immunocompetent cells, thus comprising a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. In order to infer such complex processes from experimental observations, mathematical and statistical models have increasingly been used. However, synthesising models and immunological data poses ever new challenges. The workshop aims at promoting interdisciplinary exchanges and debates in order to achieve a better understanding of complex immunological processes and to identify the most promising directions for future basic and applied research.
