The NDI³ is a scientific conference standing for New Developments in Immunology, Inflammation and Infection. It is organized by motivated PhD students who aim to bring together young and ambitious scientists to share their research and have fruitful discussions. The conference is aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral research fellows interested in immunology, inflammation and infection. These topics will be combined in a modern agenda including presentations by international keynote speakers, talk and poster sessions.
This year the NDI³ will take place from 17.-18.11.2022

The registration will open soon.
The NDI3 symposium is traditionally organized by second year PhD students of the Leibniz Lung Center (Research Center Borstel).
It provides a great opportunity for other junior Scientists in the field of Immunology, Inflammation and Infection to present their work and discuss their findings with other colleagues from the field.
The symposium is usually held in the fall and now looks back on a 44-year history. To give you an idea of what to expect from the conference, this section features keynote speakers from previous conferences.
