Program
Overview Talks & Symposia
Overview Talk
Overview talks held prior to each symposium are kind of educational lectures and especially for students or those who are not specialized in the topics.
Symposia
International symposia on 16 topis（S01～S16）will be held by both domestic and overseas immunologists. The program committee appointed chairs of symposia and left selection of speakers to the discretion of those chairs.
Some symposia will be conducted concurrently. Chairs decide how they lead their sessions and presentation time of each speaker.

Evening Seminars “Future of Immunology”
The Japanese Society for Immunology was celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. This year is a first step toward the next 50 years, thus we have planed the evening seminar entitled “Future of Immunology”. We invite leading researchers whose core areas of specialization are not Immunology but are the fields of study such as “Aging” “Brain, Nerve, Metabolism” “Regeneration” “Synthetic Biology”, and ”mRNA drug discovery”, which will become more important to the field of Immunology and we hope their clear explanations will give great impetus to young JSI members. Moreover, we appoint chairpersons among young researchers, and they will be asked to speak about their research dreams. Refreshments will be served during the forum. We look forward to active participation of young researchers in the forum.
