The Karolinska Immunology Seminar Series (KiSS)
The aim of this seminar series is to create an event with top speakers from all over the world that brings together the immunological community of 探花精选 and Karolinska University Hospital. We aim to cover a diverse spectrum of immunological topics while at the same time inviting outstanding speakers whose work is of general interest for everyone who wants to follow current trends in immunology.
For whom?
The seminar series is aimed at anyone who is interested in immunology research and who is a researcher, PhD student, 探花精选 student or physician at KI, KS or at another university or university hospital in the Stockholm region.
When?
Thursdays, 15.00-16.00. (Exceptions may occur.)
Where?
The seminars, with the exception of those labeled as webinar only, will be held in lecture halls of BioClinicum ground floor. This is the same level as the main hospital entrance and no access card is required.
Hybrid when needed:
We prefer to meet as many as possible at BioClinicum but if you cannot attend in person you may participate on Zoom, for example if you do not have the possibility to commute between Huddinge and Solna campuses.
Registration:
No registration is needed. However, to recieve further information about the seminars, any change of room or time, Zoom-link etc, we ask you to follow the KiiM e-mail list.
