Dear congress participants, scientist, physicians, seniors, juniors, and friends:
We would like to welcome you to the satellite symposium of the Working Party of Pediatric Immunology (Arbeitskreis Pädiatrische Immunologie, AKPI), which will take place just before the opening session of the annual meeting of the German Society for Immunology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Immunologie, DGfI) in Munich 2026, at the congress venue at TUM main building, Arcisstrasse 21, on Tuesday, Sept. 15th, from 13:30–14:50 in Room N1189.
The AKPI focuses on translational research related to the diagnosis and care of pediatric patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Our interests range from basic immunology to clinical care for patients with IEI. Therefore, our community consists of scientists and physicians with a strong focus on translational research.
We are looking forward very much to your participation and please forward this email to anyone who might be interested!
Best regards,
Susan Farmand and Ales Janda, Spokespersons of the AKPI and the local organization team with Ellen Renner, Translational Immunology, Dept. Pediatrics, TUM
