Webinar – COVID-19 and HLA: The Current State of Knowledge and Future Directions

 

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has become one of the most serious public health issues. The adaptive immune system has a fundamental role in the recognition and destruction of the virus.

Join us for a webinar with Máté Manczinger (Project Leader at Csaba Pál Laboratory, Biological Research Centre, Szeged, Hungary) who will be summarizing our current knowledge about the role of HLA molecules in the susceptibility and clinical course of COVID-19. He will also shortly present their research on the topic.
