Abstract: Gordon Research Conference for Immunoengineering, July 2022 Immunoengineering is a young and vibrant field that seeks to improve human health via cutting-edge analysis, manipulation, and engineering of the immune system. Grounded in decades of work in fundamental immunology, the past decade has seen a spike in integration of principles from engineering and the physical sciences into immunological research and already includes breakthrough immunotherapies for cancer. However, the immunoengineering community does not yet have a flagship conference that brings together all of its different sub-units. Workshops held at individual universities and symposia within larger conferences have been well attended, but an internationally accessible and discussion-focused conference that supports networking between generations of researchers and across fields has been missing. Such a conference is needed to bring together leaders, new investigators, and trainees from disparate fields for the first time, to advance both translational and fundamental science and to provide a focal point for collaborative relationships, career guidance, and mentoring of trainees in this field. Therefore, this proposal requests partial support for an international meeting on Immunoengineering as part of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) series, to be held in Ventura, CA in July 2022. The specific aims of the conference are (i) to increase our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of Immunoenginerring at three levels — basic research, translational studies, and clinical practice — by promoting engagement and long-term relationships across fields, (ii) to advance the careers of new investigators and trainees in the field of Immunoengineering by showcasing their work and facilitating networking with senior investigators and peer mentors, and (iii) to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion among new investigators and trainees in Immunoengineering via strong representation at the meeting. The program will have a keynote address and nine sessions that broadly address growth areas of Immunoengineering, molecularly engineered immunotherapies, biomaterials for vaccines and immunomodulation, systems and computational immunology, in vitro models of immunity, micro-technologies to assess immune cell function, cellular immunoeineering, and transformative tools for immunological research. Each session will feature 1-2 Short Talks selected from abstracts to highlight work by early stage investigators, as well as poster sessions and an innovative lunch-based networking strategy. We will implement strategies to increase participation of woman and historically underrepresented minorities by setting aside specific funding for such individuals, targeted advertising, and ensuring that they are well represented in the Short Talks. Thus, the 2022 Immunoengineering GRC will set the stage for the advancement of knowledge and translation in Immunoengineering by promoting engagement and long-term relationships across fields, while supporting a diverse base of young investigators to ensure its future strength.

摘要：戈登免疫工程研究会议，2022 年 7 月 免疫工程是一个年轻而充满活力的领域，致力于通过尖端分析来改善人类健康， 免疫系统的操纵和工程。以数十年的基础工作为基础 免疫学，过去十年见证了工程学和物理原理的整合激增 科学进入免疫学研究，并且已经包括针对癌症的突破性免疫疗法。 然而，免疫工程界还没有一个能聚集所有专家的旗舰会议。 其不同的子单位。在个别大学举办的讲习班和大型会议中举办的研讨会 出席人数众多，但这是一次国际性的、以讨论为重点的会议，支持 几代研究人员之间以及跨领域之间的网络一直缺失。这样的会议是 需要首次将来自不同领域的领导者、新研究人员和受训人员聚集在一起， 推动转化科学和基础科学的发展，并为合作关系提供焦点， 职业指导以及该领域学员的指导。因此，该提案要求部分支持 作为戈登研究会议 (GRC) 系列一部分的免疫工程国际会议，将于 于 2022 年 7 月在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行。会议的具体目标是 (i) 增进我们对 免疫工程的基本机制在三个层面上——基础研究、转化研究、 和临床实践——通过促进跨领域的参与和长期关系，(ii) 通过展示他们的工作和免疫工程领域的新研究人员和实习生的职业生涯 促进与高级研究人员和同行导师的联系，以及（iii）增强多样性、公平性和 通过在免疫工程领域的强大代表性，将新的研究人员和实习生纳入其中 会议。该计划将有一个主题演讲和九场会议，广泛讨论以下增长领域 免疫工程、分子工程免疫疗法、疫苗和生物材料 免疫调节、系统和计算免疫学、体外免疫模型、微技术 评估免疫细胞功能、细胞免疫工程和免疫学研究的变革工具。 每场会议将有 1-2 个从摘要中选出的简短演讲，以突出早期研究人员的工作， 以及海报会议和创新的基于午餐的社交策略。我们将实施战略 通过拨出专项资金来提高妇女和历来代表性不足的少数群体的参与 对于这些人，有针对性的广告，并确保他们在简短的谈话中得到充分的代表。因此， 2022 年免疫工程 GRC 将为知识和翻译的进步奠定基础 免疫工程通过促进跨领域的参与和长期关系，同时支持 年轻研究者的多元化基础，以确保其未来的实力。
