The scientific programme of the WAC 2005 in Munich will cover the whole
spectrum of allergy and immunology. At the same time it will balance the
interests of those working in research and/or practice. It will be organised
into plenary lectures, symposia, workshops, courses, free communications,
meetings with experts and posters.
Integrated basic and clinical themes will include current topics in immunology
as well as mechanisms, prevention, diagnostics and treatment of diseases
like asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, sinusitis, atopic eczema, urticaria,
drug reactions, contact dermatitis, anaphylaxis, autoimmune diseases and
immunodeficiency, both in adults and children.
The scientific committee works to ensure a climate for vital discussion
and information exchange gathering the most outstanding allergists and
immunologists as leaders in their fields.
The target audience includes researchers
and clinicians specialising in allergy and immunology and related fields
such as biology, molecular biology, chemistry, pharmacology, epidemiology,
agricultural and life sciences, internal medicine, pneumology, dermatology,
paediatrics, ENT, public health, and other health care providers.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is 15 December, 2004.
