The Institute for Infection, Inflammation and Immunity in Children (i4Kids) is housed in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, and is focused on improving children's health through new multi-disciplinary collaborations. 

The i4Kids symposium will overview current goals and achievements of the institute in addition to featuring exciting collaborative research.  Participants will have the opportunity to network with potential collaborators. We encourage researchers to submit abstracts to be selected for poster session or oral presentation. The event will include a continental breakfast, lunch, and networking reception.  A schedule will be released closer to the symposium date.

Abstract submissions are due February 22, 2022 and registration closes Friday, March 25, 2022.  For more details and to register, visit the i4Kids website.
