CALTECH / CEDARS-SINAI INTERDISCIPLINARY IMMUNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM, NOVEMBER 13, 2026
Interdisciplinary Immunology Symposium
Date: Friday, November 13, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Location: Caltech, Chen 100 & Chen Breezeway
Connect, collaborate, and innovate at the next joint Cedars-Sinai and Caltech Symposium. This one-day symposium will serve as a collaborative incubator to bridge the gap between immunologists, engineers and chemists to resolve immune-mediated diseases. Attendees will gain exclusive access to a joint pilot grant call designed to fund the application of innovative technologies to translational and clinical immunology.

***POSTER SESSION APPLICANTS: We are currently recruiting applications to present a "lab poster" that highlights important experimental techniques and technologies under development in the lab as a whole (as opposed to a poster specific to a single trainee's research project), and/or highlights how techniques have been applied to medically relevant applications. Interested trainees should submit a 1-paragraph abstract relating to their intent to present a lab poster to [email protected].
