The Nutriome Meeting:Workshop 3: Best practice in human nutritional immunology, hosted by the University of Birmingham on 13th September.
This workshop is the third in a series funded by the MRC as part of the NUTRIOME project which is investigating the impact of Vitamin D on immunity. The workshop series aims to raise awareness of practical and technical issues in research looking at nutrition-immune interactions.
This third workshop focusses on immunology, considering the basics of the immune response to pathogens, mucosal immunity, how immunity changes with age and the influence of the microbiome. It will include technical advice on best practice in immune analyses as the Pubic and Patient perspective of immunology research.
