The main goal of the Research Focus Group “Biology of Natural Killer Cells” is to establish a network for the coordination of the NK cell research in Germany. The aim is to promote this research 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 Research Focus Group will organize an annual NK cell symposium to facilitate the discussions about recent developments in the NK cell research. The 2020 Symposium had to be postponed. Information will follow as soon as a new date has been fixed
