    SPEAKER(S)

Prof. Eric Vivier - Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy, France

Eric Vivier is Director of the Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy. He graduated from Maisons-Alfort Veterinary School (DVM) and from Paris University (PhD), and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute).

Dr. Sophie Ugolini - Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy, France

Sophie Ugolini graduated from Marseille University and worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Nice-Sofia Antipolis (Institut de Pharmacologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire). Sophie and Eric’s current interests include NK cell tolerance to self and establishment of NK cell responsiveness towards target cells.
