Last month, Fred and I travelled to Stockholm, Sweden.
We were there to attend Frontiers in Immunology 2014, at the Nobel Forum, an invitation only meeting for the world leading physicians and scientists in Immunology. Those in attendance were Immunologists performing cutting-edge research, in all areas of Immunology, including cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and Primary Immunodeficiency.
This three day event brought the brightest and most passionate minds in the field of Immunology together for powerful presentations, meaningful conversations and extraordinary educational panels. Nobel Laureate, Dr. David Baltimore, who won the prize for his discoveries concerning the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell, delivered an inspiring Keynote Address.
Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been regarded as one of the most prestigious awards in the world. The Immunology community has been blessed with 34 individual winners, an impressive feat to say the least!
Our trip to Sweden contributed to our mission of raising awareness and spreading education about these disorders; in order to one day reach our goal of curing Primary Immunodeficiencies.
