Major Symposium Guidance for Trainees

We are pleased to offer AAI member graduate students and postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to present their research in IMMUNOLOGY2024™ Major Symposia. Speakers will be selected from AAI trainee member-submitted abstracts relevant to the Major Symposium topic areas.

Please use the list of IMMUNOLOGY2024™ Major Symposium sessions as reference for selecting which session(s) best match the topic of your abstract. Your selection will help the Abstract Programming Chairs and Major Symposium Chairs identify abstracts that are relevant to each session.

Major Symposium titles are listed in alphabetical order and include presentation topics that are of great interest to the Major Symposium Chairs as they consider speakers. This information will also be shared with Abstract Programming Chairs as they review abstracts. If appropriate, more than one session can be selected.
