Immunodeficiency, and will be geared towards more senior fellows in

primary goal is to continue to advance education on the diagnosis, 
molecular defects, complications, and treatment of these complex 
immune deficiency diseases. The secondary goals are to develop the 
careers of new scientists in this area of academic medicine; and to 
enhance awareness of Clinical Immunology and its importance in 
scientific discoveries and clinical applications. The third set of 
goals is to stimulate future collaborations between young 
investigators in different medical centers and countries, and between 
new investigators and experienced physician/scientists in the field.

  This years PID Consortium Conference will include formal 
presentations, case and panel discussions with new investigators and 
experienced faculty. Participants will include faculty and young 
investigators from North, Central and South America and from Europe 
and Asia . Principle topics will focus on: Diagnosis of 
Immunodeficiency; Genetics, Immune Reconstruction, and the Use of 
Standard and Novel Therapies.
