From the Organizers:
Co-organised by the FC3R and the Swiss 3RCC, this half-day online webinar will provide cutting-edge insights into Replacement methods in Immunology and Infectious diseases. Experts will present how human-relevant in vitro and in silico approaches are being developed to model and study the immune system and deepen our understanding of host–pathogen interactions, while contributing to the Replacement of animal use. The programme will highlight advances in model development and applications, and their potential for therapeutic and safety use.
