International symposium of the special research program (SFB F70) "HDACs as regulators of T cell-mediated immunity in health and disease”

For our international symposium "Translating T cell immunology: Histone deacetylases - from basic research to clinical application" we have assembled a great line-up of speakers with talks covering chromatin & epigenetics, HDAC biology and function, clinical application of epigenetic inhibitors as well as a special session dedicated on characterizing regulatory mechanisms of T cell-mediated immunity using OMICS approaches.
