Scope

Inflammation is a common but multifaceted process that underlies diseases ranging from autoimmunity to obesity. This meeting aims to bring together researchers with an interest in inflammation from seemingly disparate fields to better understand the complex underlying biology across diseases. The meeting will emphasize discussions and interactions among the participants to facilitate innovative thinking about cell types, mediators and pathways in inflammation that may be applicable to their own area or research, and perhaps forge collaboration to pursue new or previously intractable questions based on complementary expertise and mutual interest. The meeting will explore aspects of inflammation in five separate categories: autoimmunity, infectious disease, metabolism, cancer and the nervous system.

Topics

• Inflammation in autoimmunity
• Inflammation  in infectious disease
• Inflammation in metabolic disease
• Inflammation in cancer
• Inflammation in the nervous system
