"Training our immune system for health and performance"
The Executive Committee of the 13th International Society for Exercise and Immunology Symposium (ISEI 2017) welcomes you all to the City of Coimbra.
The 2017 symposium will include presentations by international researchers on areas like the genetic influences of exercise on immunity; the impact of exercise on inflammatory and muscle disorders; the influence of diet and metabolism on immunity; the role of exercise in children and aging populations; and the effect of exercise on disease outcome. Being a post Olympic year we will also focus on areas like athletes’ immune health and performance in extreme conditions. It will also include a new exciting session on exercise and the gut microbiota: from brain to muscle.
As in the previous ISEI symposia we aim to attract many early career researchers, but also wellknown experts to ensure valuable information exchange. The friendly and open nature that characterizes the ISEI symposia has the potential to foster future projects, collaborations and friendships. The oral and poster awards for young investigators is an opportunity for young scientists to have their work recognized by their peers, and to receive a free registration for the next ISEI symposium in 2019.
