About the University:
Madurai Kamaraj Unviversity, was named after the historical city of Madurai, the ancient of the Pandyan rulers and Kamaraj, one of the most illustrious sons of our country. The two components of the name may signify the pride in the hoary tradition of the Tamils and the present concern to live up to their idels.

Objectives of the workshop:
Immunology is a blockbuster field with a magnitude of scopes. We have dissected a bit of it and lot more is yet to be focused. This holds good for both basic research as well as to applied and medical research. With the unrevealed mechanisms in immunology and newer syndromes cropping in, Immunology is facing a challenge from various corners. This dynamic state of immunology needs to be re-explored in view of the new challenges. The aim of the CME is to focus on such issues and address the problems to begin with.

Participants:
This program would be ideal for both students and young faculty who have inclination towards this dynamic field. PG students having immunology as one of the Course content will be preferred. The CME session would be a close encounter with the eminent scientists in the field. The session would start from 9 a.m. of 11th October 2012 and ends on 5.00 p.m of 12th Oct 2012, which covers various aspects on Immunology from Basic to Applied and Clinical Immunology.
