Immuno-modulatory Approaches to Vaccine Adjuvants - An 2015 ACS Symposia

描述（由申请人提供）：佐剂和分子水平的相互作用正在推动疫苗开发和先天免疫理解领域的发展。佐剂结合了对化学合成、分子水平相互作用、免疫学读数、细胞运输和系统生物学的联合收割机理解。这是一个多元化的研究人员。他们中的许多人都不知道自己是谁，也不知道自己是谁。工业界、学术界、免疫学家、化学生物学家和工程师之间存在分歧，他们都从不同的角度解决类似的问题。这次会议的目的是第一次把这群不同的人聚集在一起。我们计划包括来自多个大陆的研究人员，我们的组织小组反映了这一点。会议由Aaron Esser-Kahn（加州大学欧文分校）和Bruno DeGeest（比利时根特大学）组织，他们共同组织了一个世界级的委员会特邀演讲者计划，这些演讲者是佐剂和免疫激活材料领域最有影响力的领导者之一。申请的NIH资金的唯一用途是支持学生，博士后，非终身教职员工和代表性不足的少数民族受邀演讲者参加本次研讨会。 一个旨在联合合成化学家，免疫学家和疫苗开发专家的会议，以推动免疫刺激剂领域的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Adjuvants and molecular level interactions are driving forward the fields of vaccine development and understanding of innate immunity. Adjuvants combine understanding of chemical syntheses, molecular level interactions, immunological readouts, cellular trafficking, and systems biology. It's a diverse set of researchers. Intriguingly, many of them have never met, nor do they even know who each other are. There exists divides between industry, academia, and immunologist, chemical biologists and engineers - all working to solve similar problems from very different perspectives. The goal of this meeting is to bring this diverse set of people together for the first time. We plan to inclde researchers from multiple continents and our organization group reflects that. The meeting is organized by Aaron Esser-Kahn (University of California, Irvine), and Bruno DeGeest (University of Ghent, Belgium), who together have assembled a world- class program of committee invited speakers that are among the most influential leaders in adjuvants and immune-activating materials. The sole use of requested NIH funds is to support the participation of students, postdocs, untenured faculty and underrepresented minority invited speakers in this symposium. A conference designed to unite synthetic chemists, immunologists and vaccine development experts to move forward the field of immuno-stimulants.
