Immunological Intervention in Human Disease (A2)
Organizer(s) Jacques F. Banchereau, Federica Sallusto and Robert L. Coffman
January 6—11, 2007
Big Sky Resort • Big Sky, MT USA
Abstract Deadline: Sep 13, 2006
Late Abstract Deadline: Oct 9, 2006
Scholarship Deadline: Oct 9, 2006
Early Registration Deadline: Nov 6, 2006
Sponsored by the Dana Foundation
Summary of Meeting:
Decades of intense cellular and molecular studies have permitted the identification of many components of the immune system. Studies of the mouse immune system, most particularly through the use of animals with targeted gene inactivation, have permitted remarkable progress in linking these components to specific functions in immunity. In spite of this progress, the study of the human immune system has in general lagged behind that of the mouse. Improvements in technologies, however, now permit a detailed analysis of the altered immune system in human diseases including cancer, allergy, autoimmunity, and infectious diseases. The meeting will emphasize 1) the importance of directly assessing the human immune response and 2) that not all of what we learn in the mouse can be directly translated to humans. To foster interactions between immunologists and pathologists from very different backgrounds, the meeting program includes a wide variety of experts investigating different human diseases that involve alterations of the immune system. Consequently, this meeting is highly likely to contribute to the education of a new generation of immunotherapists.
