Inflammation-Driven Cancer: Mechanisms to Therapy (J7)
Organizer(s) Fiona M. Powrie, Michael Karin and Alberto Mantovani
February 5—9, 2017
Keystone Resort • Keystone, CO USA
Discounted Abstract Deadline: Oct 6, 2016
Abstract Deadline: Nov 3, 2016
Scholarship Deadline: Oct 6, 2016
Discounted Registration Deadline: Dec 7, 2016
Sponsored by Incyte Corporation, Merck & Co., Inc. and Roche. Part of the Keystone Symposia Global Health Series, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Joint Meeting:
Microbiome in Health and Disease (J8)
Summary of Meeting:
Carcinogenesis is the result of a complex interplay of cell intrinsic and extrinsic processes that promote genomic instability, sustained proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, reprogramming and reorganization of the stromal environment. An immune cell infiltrate is a characteristic feature of many tumors, and it is increasingly appreciated that immunity and inflammation are key determinants of tumor development and progression. This meeting will consider the molecular and environmental factors that shape the extensive cross-talk between immune, stromal and cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment. Positioned at the interface of cancer cell signaling, stem cells, inflammatory pathways and microbial drivers, this meeting should provide new insights into the factors that control the balance between tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressive immunity and inflammation and how this can be applied in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The meeting will attract a multi-disciplinary group of cancer cell biologists, immunologists and inflammation biologists and will be of interest to basic and clinical scientists alike.

Panel: The Integrative Human Microbiome Project (iHMP)
The Integrative Human Microbiome Project (iHMP) is the second phase of the National Institute of Health (NIH) Common Fund's Human Microbiome Project (HMP) program. The mission of the overall HMP is to generate resources to permit comprehensive characterization of the human microbiota to further our understanding of how the microbiome impacts human health and disease. In this phase of the program, the iHMP is creating integrated longitudinal datasets of biological properties from both the microbiome and host from three different cohort studies of microbiome-associated conditions using multiple "omics" technologies. Tools, datasets and other resources from the first phase of the project are available at the HMP DACC. The three iHMP projects have recently completed primary data generation and are entering an initial analysis phase, and this session will detail the data and resources made available to the research community by: 1) the Multi-Omic Microbiome Study: Pregnancy Initiative (MOMS-PI) at Virginia Commonwealth University, 2) the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Multi'omic Data (IBDMDB) resource from the Broad Institute and a nation-wide research tam, and 3) Integrated Personal 'Omics Profiling (IPOP) from Stanford University and the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine. For more information or to get involved with the iHMP, please see http://hmp2.org.
