The MELODI Workshop on “Radiation Effects on the Immune System” will be held on April 28 and 29, 2026, at the Maison Minatec Congress Center in Grenoble, France.

This workshop will address:

- the direct (cell autonomous) and indirect (bystander) effects of radiation,
- the importance of radiation quality for radioprotection, medicine and space biology/travel,
