The Nijmegen Centre for Molecular Life Sciences (www.ncmls.eu) is organising its third annual NCMLS Symposium, entitled, New Frontiers in Pattern Recognition Receptors, to be held on 5th & 6th November 2009 at the Radboud Auditorium, Nijmegen. Sessions will include the structure, function and biology of TLR receptors in immune defense, and RIG-like helicases and lectins in infection and immunity. A large panel of internationally renowned scientists that have contributed significantly to the understanding of PPR function in health and disease will be invited to participate in this meeting. This symposium will be of interest to scientists of all levels, from students to senior professors. Everyone is encouraged to attend.CONFIRMED SPEAKERS:
