The Institute for Research in Biomedicine will be hosting this conference in Lugano together with the Swiss Vaccine Research Institute. Lugano is a beautiful town at the southernmost tip of Switzerland in the Italian-speaking region of Ticino, only 40 minutes from Milan and offering spectacular natural surroundings at the foot of the Alps and in the midst of the Lake district.
