CSHL 2016 Gene Expression and Signaling in the Immune System

 描述（由申请人提供）：拟于2016年春季举行的免疫系统基因表达和信号传导会议将重点关注这一快速发展领域的最新进展。会议将是开放式的，出席人数仅限于可供使用的设施，最多可容纳425人。将由受邀发言者和从提交的摘要中选出的发言者共同作口头介绍。这确保了该领域初级和高级领导人的参与，并在会议时展示最令人兴奋的成果。在两次会议上，口头介绍将辅之以海报介绍，海报也是从提交的摘要中选出的。2016年会议将涵盖的领域包括：1）髓系细胞和先天淋巴细胞，2）基因表达的转录和转录后控制，3）染色质调节和表观遗传影响，4）淋巴细胞分化和抗原受体基因表达，5）信号传导，6）先天传感器和调节，7）免疫调节，8）细胞内和细胞间通讯模式。而不是专注于一种特定类型的免疫细胞或疾病过程，会议将强调旨在严格推进我们对免疫系统内信号转导和基因调控过程如何运作的知识的机制方法。为年轻科学家提供了充分的机会来展示他们的成果，也为重要的，最新的发现提供了机会。会议形式还确保了科学家之间的互动时间，特别是在用餐和海报会议期间。会议将促进相关领域免疫学家之间的互动，并为免疫系统信号传导和基因表达的新思路和新方法的发展提供一个论坛。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The proposed meeting on Gene Expression and Signaling in the Immune System, to be held in spring 2016, will focus on the most recent advances in this rapidly moving field. The meeting will be open, with attendance limited only by the facilities available to a maximum of 425 participants. Oral presentations will be delivered by a combination of invited speakers and those selected from submitted abstracts. This ensures the participation of junior and senior leaders in the field and the presentation of the most excitig results emerging at the time of the meeting. The oral presentations will be complemented by poster presentations in two sessions, also selected from submitted abstracts. The areas to be covered in the 2016 meeting include 1) Myeloid lineage cells and innate lymphocytes, 2) Transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression, 3) Chromatin regulation and epigenetic influences, 4) Lymphocyte differentiation and antigen receptor gene expression, 5) Signaling, 6) Innate sensors and regulation, 7) Immunoregulation, 8) Modes of intra- and intercellular communications. Rather than focusing on one particular type of immune cell or disease process, the meeting will highlight mechanistic approaches that aim to rigorously advance our knowledge of how the processes of signal transduction and gene regulation operate within the immune system. Ample opportunity is provided for junior scientists to present their results, and also for the presentation of important, late-breaking findings. The meeting format also ensures time for interactions between scientists, particularly during meals and in poster sessions. The meeting will foster interaction among immunologists working in related areas, and provide a forum for the development of new ideas and approaches to immune system signaling and gene expression.
