SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON IMMUNOLOGY AND AGING

目前的科学调查正在显著扩大我们的 对一生中免疫功能变化的理解 跨度，特别是通过引入更精确的细胞和分子 生物学方法。 免疫学和老年学高级研究所(Iasia)，一个非 位于华盛顿特区的非政府组织营利组织拥有 它的使命是加快科学发现的步伐 免疫系统的奥秘及其与衰老的关系 进程。国际亚洲协会首届国际会议述评 免疫学和老龄化要求Iasia再次成立一个委员会 与国际代表组织第二次会议，以 促进未来的研究发展和实践。 Iasia召集了一个组织委员会，并与 世界卫生组织和许多其他政府和非政府组织 政府团体，已经为拟议的 第二届国际会议。会议的目标是促进和 促进免疫学和衰老方面的研究。程序是设计的 将跨学科的科学家和卫生专业人员聚集在一起 来自世界各地；集中讨论特定的主题领域 对研究和临床需求最关键；刺激未来 国际合作研究；促进关键信息的传播 会议发言；以及，确定 为未来的聚会和网络进行会议设计。一个关键的设计 会议的一个方面是强调将研究知识联系起来 采用新的预防和临床方法。委员会致力于 到确定少数民族、妇女和残疾科学家 参与进来。 据估计，将有450名或更多的国际参与者参加 会议。

Current scientific investigation is significantly expanding our understanding of the changes in immune function that occur over the life span, especially by introducing more precise cellular and molecular biological approaches. The Institute for Advanced Studies in Immunology & Aging (IASIA), a non- profit, non-governmental organization located in Washington, DC, has as its mission to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery regarding the mysteries of the immune system and its relationship to the aging process. Evaluations of IASIA's First International Conference on Immunology and Aging mandated that IASIA again form a committee to organize a second meeting with an international representation to facilitate future research development and practice. The IASIA convened an organizing committee and, in collaboration with the World Health Organization and numerous other governmental and non- governmental groups, has developed a program plan for the proposed second international conference. The conference goal is to promote and facilitate research in immunology and aging. The program is designed to bring together interdisciplinary scientists and health professionals from around the world; to focus discussion on specific topical areas most critical to research and clinical needs; to stimulate future international collaborative research; to promote dissemination of key conference presentations; and, to determine the effectiveness of the meeting design for future gatherings and networking. A key design aspect of the Conference is its emphasis on bridging research knowledge with new preventive and clinical approaches. The committee is committed to identifying minorities, women and handicapped scientists to participate. It is estimated that 450 or more international participants will attend the Conference.
