IMMUNOLOGY & IMMUNOGENETICS CONGRESS April 27-29, / Papillon Ayscha Hotel, Antalya - TURKEY Dear Colleagues and Friends, We are honored to invite you to Molecular Immunology & Immunogenetics Congress (MIMIC) that will be held in Antalya, Turkey, from April 27 to 29, under the auspices of the Turkish Society of Immunology. The venue of the congress will be the Papillon Ayscha Hotel in Antalya, a beautiful historical city and holiday resort on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. This congress will cover modern aspects of molecular and applied immunology as well as immunogenetics. Since the main aim of MIMIC is to connect international scientists and immunologists to encourage new collaborations in the field of molecular immunology and immunogenetics, we invite scientists from all over the world to present their studies and to discuss the new findings and discoveries with other researchers. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that the Organizing Committee has made special efforts to offer a large number of grants and awards covering registration, accommodation and part of travel expenses. Therefore, young researchers are particularly encouraged to apply for attending to the congress. Nationally and internationally renowned speakers will be giving talks during the congress. Simultaneous translation to Turkish will be available for Turkish participants. We are looking forward to seeing you in Antalya for this unique and stimulating event! On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Prof. H. Barbaros ORAL Congress President Prof. Günnur DEN Z President of TSI
