The innate immune system provides critical protection from diverse infectious agents and maintains homeostasis. Despite these essential functions in health and disease, we have an incomplete understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of how the innate immune system recognizes and responds to diverse pathogens and how genetic mutations in innate immunity affect the development of infectious, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases and cancers in humans.
This Symposium will bring together leaders in the scientific community who are interested in various aspects of innate immunity to discuss topics including: the basic biology of innate immunity, the molecular diversity of innate immune mechanisms, interactions with adaptive immunity, immuno-oncology, neuroimmunology, the pathophysiology of inflammation, structural insights into innate immune molecules, therapeutic applications, and more. The event will feature talks from 11 world-renowned leaders in the field and will establish connections between basic science and clinical research.
