Inflammation Symposium – Tuesday September 22
Inflammation Symposium: Bipartisan Support by PAMPS and DAMPS
Tuesday, September 22
3-5 p.m., Hiebert Lounge, BUSM Instructional Building
Medical Campus students, faculty and staff are invited to a two-hour symposium to explore the complex interactions that occur during an inflammatory response.Symposium is hosted by Barbara Nikolajczyk, PhD and Dan Remick, MD.
