Cell Symposia: Immunometabolism: from Mechanisms to Therapy
Symposium - Toronto, Canada
The obesity epidemic is fuelling the need to understand how metabolic imbalance drives disease pathogenesis. It is now widely recognized that obesity impacts the immune system and that obesity-associated inflammation contributes to metabolic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as well as cancer. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers from the arenas of immunology and metabolism to discuss the cell types, mediators and pathways that contribute to immunological-metabolic crosstalk and to explore how the immune system might be targeted as a strategy to treat metabolic disease.
Session topics will include:
Inflammatory pathways and metabolic disease
Metabolic programming of systemic immunity
Metabolic-immune cell interactions
Nutrients and gut microbiota
Immunotherapy
