Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

 

Conference - Big Sky, MT, United States

 

This FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) is a unique forum for researchers who use molecular and genomic approaches to study the immune system. The immune system is crucial for human health and its successful manipulation for clinical purposes will depend on a deep and sophisticated understanding of its native modes of regulation. Over the past 20 years, the immune system has also become an increasingly important model system for understanding information processing in living organisms. The conference stands out by bringing together molecular and genomic research on each of the diverse types of immune cells so that shared and contrasting mechanisms can be illuminated, both in mature functioning cells and in their developing precursors. By highlighting common and contrasting mechanisms, the meeting reveals unexpected synergies between areas of molecular immunology that traditionally have been considered distinct. The attendees, who come from laboratories throughout the world, include established researchers in the field as well as young independent researchers, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students who are just beginning to explore the regulation of immune cell development and function.
