The ThymUS 2016 International Conference on Lymphopoiesis

 描述(申请者提供)：胸腺2016国际淋巴生成、T细胞分化和免疫重建会议将于2016年6月5-10日在HI的威雷亚海滩举行。这是这次会议的第五次迭代，这是唯一一次以美国为基地的 专门讨论胸腺和T淋巴细胞分化，以及这些过程在衰老和疾病过程中如何改变的会议。因此，这次会议具有独特的科学内容，涉及获得性免疫、胸腺器官发生和T细胞发育和分化等高度动态和多产的领域，并与抗感染、从出生到衰老的免疫动态平衡、治疗性或病理性T细胞切除后的免疫重建、自我耐受和自身免疫有关。重要的是，会议提供了几个无与伦比的特点，包括：(I)专注于胸腺生物学，这在美洲是独一无二的；(Ii)所有与会者的费用都很低，并有额外的补贴 向受训人员提供：(3)极其丰富的、不带偏见的发言机会，特别关注受训人员；(4)极具刺激性的非正式互动环境，使受训人员有机会在会议期间接触到实地领导人；以及(5)与 由行业赞助的癌症免疫治疗学会(SITC)关于癌症免疫治疗的会议，将在胸腺会议上提出的基本科学发现放在临床背景下。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ThymUS 2016 International Conference on Lymphopoiesis, T cell Differentiation and Immune Reconstitution will be held in Wailea Beach, HI from June 5-10, 2016. This is the fifth iteration of this conference, which is the only US-based conference specifically dedicated to the topic of the thymus and T lymphocyte differentiation, and how these processes are altered during aging and by disease. The conference therefore has a unique scientific content, addressing the highly dynamic and prolific field of adaptive immunity, thymus organogenesis, and T cell development and differentiation, and is relevant for resistance to infection, immune homeostasis from birth to aging, immune reconstitution after therapeutic or pathologic T cell ablation, self-tolerance, and autoimmunity. Importantly, the conference provides several unparalleled features, including (i) a singular focus on thymus biology, which is unique in the Americas; (ii) low cost to all attendees, with additional subsidies provided to trainees; (iii) an extremely rich array of unbiased presentation opportunities, with special attention to trainees; (iv) a highly stimulating informal interactive environment, providin trainees with access to leaders in the field for the duration of the conference; and (v) linkage to an industry-sponsored Society of Immunotherapy in Cancer (SITC) conference on immune-therapy in cancer to place in clinical context the basic science findings presented at ThymUS.
