3rd Antigen Specific Immune Tolerance Summit

Accelerate the progression of ethical and effective antigen specific immunotherapies through the clinic, optimize the discovery of novel targets and explore novel therapeutic approaches harnessing combination therapies.Building on the success of the 2019 meeting, the 3rd Antigen Specific Immune Tolerance Summit (ASIT) returns to Boston on February 25-27, 2020. The meeting will bring together industry representatives from the fields of autoimmunity, allergy, immuno-oncology and transplantation to tackle the complexities behind autoimmune disorders head on. With momentum building for antigen specific immunotherapies, ASIT 2020 is the only antigen specific summit offering thought leading content to drive the field towards a more precise and ethical antigen-specific approach to drug development.
