Dear colleagues,
ESEB abstract submission deadline has been extended to the 8th of
March. We invite you to participate in our symposium on
"Non-genetic transfer of immunity across generations â€" evolution and
underlying mechanisms",
including free dinner sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation for all
symposium participants.
Symposium description:
To cope with parasites and pathogens, immunological experience can be
transferred across generations also non-genetically, allowing for
higher adaptive plasticity. Recent studies suggest that trans-
generational immune priming (TGIP) can also be provided by innate
defence components and that it is not limited to maternal effects.
Both evolutionary and mechanistic advances in TGIP should be addressed
in this symposium in systems ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates.
Invited speakers:
Ben Sadd (ETH Zürich) and Mike Boots (University of Exeter)
For registration and abstract submission, please go here:

We are looking forward to seeing you in Lisbon!
Olivia Roth & Gerrit Joop
