<p>This intensive course is directed toward advanced trainees and  scientists who wish to expand or update their understanding of the  field. Leading experts will present recent advances in the biology of  the immune system and address its role in health and disease. This is  not an introductory course; attendees will need to have a firm  understanding of the principles of immunology.</p>
<p>Those seeking a basic course are referred to the AAI Introductory Course in Immunology.</p>
<p>Financial support for underrepresented minority scientists is available through the FASEB MARC Program.</p>
<p>Financial support for international trainees is available from IUIS.</p>
