MOBILIsE 1st Symposium in Molecular Bioengineering
Immunoengineering: from molecules
to biomaterials and cell therapies
Welcome
16-18 June 2025
The 1st Symposium in Molecular Bioengineering, the inaugural symposium of the MOBILIsE project, will be devoted to Immunoengineering.
This symposium will bring scientists across bioengineering exploring biomolecular engineering tools and techniques to manipulate immune function for clinical translation in cancer, infection and regenerative medicine.
The meeting will be held in Porto, Portugal, at the i3S – Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde, University of Porto.
