Introductory course on Immunogenicity
Course Leader: Christian Ross (Novo Nordisk)
The EIP course on immunogenicity includes a general introduction and update on immunogenicity. The presentations are given by experienced EIP members and selected specialists. The goal is to offer a broad coverage of the field of immunogenicity for people working in this field both in pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions.
