The main presentation modalities at the event are specialized conferences, free topics and posters, the latter designed only for medical students, said the specialist in General Comprehensive Medicine and Immunology.
The Immunology specialty is in charge of the study of the immune system, which is nothing more than the body’s natural defense against infections and diseases, hence the specialists in this area are in charge of evaluating how the immune system identifies and fights pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as its role in autoimmune diseases.
This is a fundamental discipline in modern medicine that helps to understand and treat various conditions related to health and disease.
