Immunomeeting Seminar Series
The Immunomeeting Seminar Series is held at the University of Basel's Department of Biomedicine (Hebelstrasse) on Mondays during term time. Researchers from the various uBICo member groups present their work at these weekly meetings, in addition to invited guest speakers and uBICo distinguished speakers.
In addition to being accredited postgraduate lecture courses at the University of Basel (15581-01 Seminar: Immunology I and 17493-01 Seminar: Immunology II) the seminar series is also registered with the Veterinäramt Basel-Stadt for ongoing education. Attendees of relevant Immunomeetings have the opportunity to get credit towards “Aus- und Weiterbildungsveranstaltungen für Fachpersonal für Tierversuche”.
Carolyn King, head of the Infection Immunology Research Lab took over the organisation and coordination of the Immunomeetings in autumn 2024. For further information on the Immunomeetings please contact Carolyn King or Martha Gaio.
uBICo Distinguished Speakers and Guests:
The uBICo Distinguished Immunology Speakers series sees leading researchers from around the world present their work at the Immunomeetings, which are then held in the ZLF Small Lecture Theater. These speakers partake in an extended programme during their visit to BaseL. Each speaker will spend the day with faculty and students at the Department of Biomedicine and in addition to the Immunomeeting presentaiton there is a series of one on one meetings with faculty, a lunch with postdoc, a presentation and discussion with the Immune PhD Journal Club and a faculty dinner.
There are no Distinguished Speakers currently scheduled but details of future speaker visits will be presented here and on the Events page as and when they are available.
