University of Cambridge

Annual meetings of Complement UK serve two key purposes: to deliver a strong training element; and to foster collaborative research in specified areas.

This year’s event will focus on Complement Diagnostics and Therapeutics.

The first day is a teaching day focused on trainees, students and junior Post Docs. There will be introductory lectures on complement, followed by a choice of tutorials covering many aspects of basic complement biology and biochemistry, and the role of complement in disease. The symposium on the second day will expand on a specific research theme, which this year is the role of complement in diagnostics and therapeutics.

Following the tutorials, there will be a guest talk by Professor Sir Keith Peters.

*Registration for this meeting will open in September 2019*
