FASEB Research Conference: Lymphocytes and Antibodies

描述(申请人提供)：2004年FASE B关于淋巴细胞和抗体的夏季研究会议将于2004年6月19日至24日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河的佛蒙特学院举行。这将是一次与相对较少的与会者(160人)的密集会议，将涵盖免疫学研究的前沿课题。这次会议将讨论正在取得的对健康和人类疾病有直接影响的重大进展的领域。本次会议的结构营造了高度互动的氛围，促进了与会者之间最大限度的科学交流和讨论。此外，这次会议的目的是将来自不同背景和地点的免疫学家聚集在一起。在这次会议前后的几个月里，没有类似规模和形式的竞争性会议。 该计划将包括以下领域： 1.免疫系统的进化--Martin Flajnik(美国马里兰州)，会议组织者 2.先天免疫防御--刘易斯·拉尼尔(UCSF)，会议组织者 3.TCR Gamma Delta T细胞--温迪·哈夫兰，会议组织者 4.终末B细胞分化--兰迪·诺埃尔(达特茅斯)，会议组织者 5.T细胞发展--斯蒂芬·赫德里克(加州大学学院)，课程组织者 6.DC--免疫系统的哨兵--穆里尔·莫泽(大学布鲁塞尔)，会议组织者 7.微调免疫反应--杰弗里·布鲁斯顿(加州大学旧金山分校)，会议组织者 8.在活体T细胞激活中--马克·詹金斯(UMINN)，会议组织者 9.免疫的细胞因子控制--利奥·莱夫兰科斯(UCHC)，会议组织者

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2004 FASEB summer research conference on Lymphocytes and Antibodies will be held from June 19-24, 2004 at Vermont Academy, Saxtons River, Vermont. This will be an intensive meeting with a relatively small number of participants (<160) that will cover topics at the cutting edge of immunological research. This conference will cover areas in which major advances are underway that have direct implications for health and human disease. The structure of this meeting is one that fosters a highly interactive atmosphere, promoting maximal scientific exchange and discussion among the participants. Further, this conference aims to bring together immunologists from a diversity of backgrounds and locations. There are no competing conferences of a similar size and format for the months surrounding this conference. The program will include the following areas: 1. Evolution of the Immune System - Martin Flajnik (U.Maryland), Session Organizer 2. Innate Immune Defense - Lewis Lanier (UCSF), Session Organizer 3. TCR gamma delta T cells- Wendy Havran, Session Organizer 4. Terminal B Cell Differentiation - Randy Noelle (Dartmouth), Session Organizer 5. T Cell Development - Stephen Hedrick (UCSD), Session Organizer 6. DC--sentinels of the Immune System - Muriel Moser (Univ. of Brussels), Session Organizer 7. Fine Tuning the Immune Response - Jeffrey Bluestone (UCSF), Session Organizer 8. In Vivo T Cell Activation - Marc Jenkins (UMINN), Session Organizer 9. Cytokine Control of Immunity - Leo Lefrancois (UCHC), Session Organizer
