2027 i4Kids Symposia: Small Kids and Tiny Pathogens - Viral Infections in Children

Our 2027 Symposia will investigate how environmental viruses can jump into humans and how the immune system must be spurred into action to keep you alive! We have invited a spectacular group of speakers covering a broad variety of topics from microbiology, immunology and mucosal biology that we are certain will be relevant to both UPMC Children’s Hospital researchers and to the greater Pittsburgh science community.
