Dear Macrophages lovers

We are delighted to announce the 6th Symposium of the French Network on Monocytes-Macrophages - SoMM2023 - which will be held in Paris, France, on November 24th, 2023.

This event is organized by the Macrophage Club Îles-de-France (MCI), with support from the National Macrophage Club Community (MaCRO), with the goal of bringing together experts in France working on the biology of monocytes and macrophages.

During this intensive one-day meeting, both junior and senior researchers from academia will present cutting-edge research on monocyte/macrophage biology and their involvement in development, identity, brain function, inflammation, and diseases.

Registration is now open at: https://somm2023.sciencesconf.org/registration with a limited capacity of 150 participants. Registration is free but mandatory.

The deadline for registration and abstract submissions is November 10th, 2023.
