Annual Meeting 2008 – General Information

Welcome Address

Dear colleagues, members and friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to announce the 6th annual CIMT meeting in Mainz dated May 15th-16th, 2008.

After five successful meetings, we decided to move our concept one step further. CIMT 2008 will cover the whole range of innovative developments in immunotherapy. The scope of this meeting will reach from fundamental mechanisms of antigen processing, the potential of adjuvants and new target structures to adoptive cellular therapies and tumor vaccination.

We will have the opportunity to share two days of plenary sessions, workshops and guided poster sessions. Submitted abstracts will be selected by peer review either for oral presentation in the workshops or for poster presentation. An industry exhibition will accompany the meeting.

We are sure that your participation will contribute making this meeting exciting and look forward to having you with us in Mainz!
