The 2015 Innate Immunity Summit

The 2015 Innate Immunity Summit is dedicated to all aspects of innate immunity, including function and potency of immune response components against pathogens and tumours as well as how understanding these mechanisms can inform the design of biological therapeutics and their mechanisms of action , with translational implications for therapy.

Key Topics

• Macrophage plasticity in normal and disturbed immunity: the key role of the switch macrophage phenotype
• Toll-like receptors in Helicobacter pylori infection & immunity
• Collagenous complement- activating pattern recognition molecules: sructure, mode of activation, and their involvement in antimicrobial defense and homeostasis
• Role of novel macrophage derived mediators at regulating tissue repair and regeneration
• Surfactant Protein A and D: To bind or not to bind?
• The role of microRNA and autophagy in innate immune responses to pathogens
• Synthetic Biologic approaches to Cancer Immunity
• Heat-shock proteins in the regulation of inflammations
• In vivo expansion of regulatory neutrophils with a GPCR19 agonist ameliorates systemic inflammation
• What influences susceptibility to and severity of infection with Clostridium difficile?
