Working group for “B cells in health and disease”
The B cells in health and disease working group to connect researchers and groups in Austria working on B lymphocytes and humoral immunity both from the basic and translational point of view. The B cell in health and disease working group aims at sharing knowledge and expertise related to B cells, and build a network that can foster collaboration and synergistic work. The group originated from the Vienna B cell club initiated by Prof Marta Rizzi in January 2023.
To foster and promote exchange and synergy, all groups interested in B cells meet virtually once a month on Thursday in the B cell club, where projects and ideas around B cells and antibodies are shared! If you would like to participate, please contact Marta Rizzi: E-Mail
