The main goal of the Study Group “NK cells and ILCs” is to establish a network for the coordination of this important research area in Germany. The aim is to promote our research activities on a national level and to enhance its international visibility. To reach this aim we have established several tools.
- Members can access a special mailing list to exchange reagents, protocols and expert advice. With your membership application your name will be added to the list.
- The Study Group organizes annual symposia to facilitate the discussions about recent developments in the area of NK cells and ILC1-3 (watch for up-to-date announcements on this page!).
