2010 Midwinter Conference of Immunologists at Asilomar

摘要 仲冬免疫学家会议的主要目标是提供一年一度的科学会议，促进资深科学家和新的研究人员、博士后和研究生之间的互动。会议的目标是交流免疫学领域的最新发展。仲冬免疫学家会议在组织成功会议方面有着长期的记录。第49届大会定于2010年1月23日至26日举行。 这些主题将深入分析感染和自身免疫中先天和获得性免疫反应的重要最新发展。将介绍先天免疫系统如何识别危险信号以及其功能如何在感染、肿瘤和自身免疫性疾病中受到干扰的重要进展。在免疫调节的理论和分子基础方面将探索新的见解。本课程将探讨对抗传染病病原体的效应器机制。关于T细胞亚群在有效免疫反应中的重要作用的最新信息将被讨论。自身免疫的新视角将讨论自身免疫反应是如何产生和控制的。 第49届仲冬大会选出的演讲者非常优秀，他们代表了知名科学家和即将到来的年轻研究人员。该计划将为讨论、交流思想和建立合作提供充足的时间。这次会议是博士后研究员和研究生会见知名研究人员的绝佳场所。2010年的大会有望像以前的仲冬会议一样成功，产生探索免疫系统的新方法。

ABSTRACT The major objective of the Midwinter Conference of Immunologists is to provide an annual scientific meeting conducive to interaction between established senior scientists and new investigators, postdoctoral and graduate students. The goal of the conference is to communicate the most recent developments in the field of immunology. The Midwinter Conference of Immunologists has a long track record of organizing successful meetings. The 49th conference has been scheduled for January 23-26, 2010. The topics will cover an in depth analysis of important recent developments in innate and adaptive immune responses in infections and autoimmunity. Important developments of how the innate immune system recognizes danger signals and how its function can be disturbed in infections, tumors and in autoimmune diseases will be presented. New insights in the theoretical and molecular basis of immune regulation will be explored. Effector mechanisms for combating infectious pathogens will be addressed. Recent information on the essential role of T cell subsets in effective immune responses will be discussed. New perspectives in autoimmunity will discuss how autoimmune responses are generated and can be controlled. The speakers selected for the 49th Midwinter Conference are excellent and represent well-known scientists as well as upcoming young investigators. The program will allow ample time for discussion, exchange of ideas and establishment of collaborations. This conference is an outstanding venue for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to meet established investigators. The 2010 conference promises to be as successful as previous Midwinter Conferences to generate novel ways to explore the immune system.
