The Latin-American Immunology Symposium endeavors to provide a forum for Latin-American immunologists to come together, engage in discussions about their research, and establish or enhance regional collaborations. These collaborative efforts are intended to enhance and promote the advancement of immunology in Latin America. This year, the Symposium will spotlight the contributions of young investigators, aiming to integrate them into the Latin American immunology societies.
