We are pleased to announce the 18th Johns Hopkins Medicine Autoimmunity Day, and invite you to submit an abstract for this event. All Johns Hopkins faculty, fellows and students are invited to attend the Autoimmunity Day on Wednesday June 21, 2017.The program will start at 8:00 and continue until 3 pm in the Tilghman Auditorium in MRB building, Johns Hopkins University. Autoimmunity Day, launched in 1999 by Dr. Noel Rose, provides an opportunity for the local medical community to learn about autoimmune diseases, sample ongoing research done in this field, and develop new interactions. The 18th Autoimmunity Day will feature 2 outside keynote speakers (Drs. Marco Colonna and Rachel Caspi) and 4 local Hopkins speakers (Drs. Xinzhong Dong, Pierre Coulombe, Peter Calabresi, and Cindy Sears). A finalized copy of the meeting program is included. New for 2017
1. The meeting will be held in the School of Medicine (rather than in the School of Public Health).
2. There will be a poster session, taking place in the Turner concourse located just outside the Tilghman Auditorium, from 11:45 AM to 1 PM on June 21, 2017. We invite students and fellows to submit an abstract focused on autoimmunity. Abstracts will be scored based on originality, experimental design, and significance. The best 2 abstracts in both the basic science and clinical science categories will be awarded a prize of $500 and $250. The best one in each category will be chosen for a 15-min presentation at the meeting. Please e-mail your abstract to Ms. Monica Talor at [email protected] by June 9, 2017 using the attached template.
3. We ask you to register for the meeting, as to have a better sense of the number of people attending and thus offer you a better lunch service. Registration is free and open to all. Just e-mail your name to Ms. Monica Talor at [email protected].
Hope to see you there,
