We are pleased to present an exciting retreat, taking place virtually this year. It will be filled with presentations and posters by postdocs and graduate students from across the Stanford Immunology community. We are honored to have keynote speaker, Christopher Barnes, PhD, from Caltech speaking about "Structural classification of neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain suggests vaccine and therapeutic strategies." Dr. Barnes will be joining the Stanford faculty in the Department of Biolology next year. We then wrap up the retreat with fun Social Hours.
See agenda below (subject to change).
