CONFERENCE ON MOLECULAR ASPECTS OF VIRAL IMMUNITY

描述：分子免疫学和遗传学提供了新的工具， 了解几种亚急性和慢性人类 可能涉及病毒的疾病。 这些包括自身免疫，某些 癌症和哮喘 分子理解的巨大进展 病毒免疫和病毒避免免疫的机制已经发生 近三年 综合这些进展提供了一个机会， 为了改进疫苗设计和治疗性免疫调节剂的开发， 并揭示免疫识别、效应子 功能和记忆发生。 这次多学科会议的目的是 召集高级和初级调查人员，负责最近的关键调查结果 并在一个鼓励自由交流的论坛上讨论他们的意见， 演讲者和参与者，特别是学生之间的观点和想法 和博士后实习生。 这是一个独特系列的第四次会议， 已被证明是非常受欢迎和有价值的人在他们的各级 careers. 该会议每三年举行一次，以便将 在这个令人兴奋和高度发展的领域， 健康相关领域。

DESCRIPTION: Molecular immunology and genetics have provided novel tools to understand the fundamental pathogenesis of several subacute and chronic human diseases that may involve viruses. These include autoimmunity, certain cancers and perhaps asthma. Dramatic advances in the molecular understanding of viral immunity and mechanisms of viral avoidance of immunity have occurred in the past three years. Synthesizing these advances provides an opportunity to improve vaccine design and the development of therapeutic immunomodulators, and to reveal how fundamental events such as immune recognition, effector function and memory occur. The aim of this multidisciplinary meeting is to assemble senior and junior investigators responsible for recent key findings and to discuss their observations in a forum that encourages the free exchange of opinions and ideas between speakers and participants, especially students and postdoctoral trainees. This is the fourth meeting of a unique series that has proven extremely popular and valuable to persons at all levels of their careers. This meeting is held every three years, so that to incorporate substantial rather than incremental developments in this exciting and highly health-relevant field.
