Cytokine JAK - STAT Signaling in Immunity and Disease (A2)

Cytokine JAK - STAT Signaling in Immunity and Disease (A2) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and would be held during Jan 10 - 14, 2016 at Sheraton Steamboat Resort, Steamboat Springs, Colorado, USA. This meeting, coinciding with the 25th year of the discovery of JAK-STAT signaling, will couple invited speakers who have made significant contributions to allied disciplines with cytokine JAK-STAT veterans, with ample opportunities for short talks selected from submitted abstracts. As JAK-STAT pathways produce both common and unique phenotypes critical for a vast range of biological phenomena, the basic understanding of how these signal transduction cascades are regulated, function and integrate with additional cellular responses has been continuously refined by discoveries of general and pathway-specific mechanisms.
Session Topics:
• Receptor Activation and STAT Signaling
• Chromatin and Gene Regulation
• Immune Regulation
• Inflammation
• Stem Cells and Development
• Infection and Diseases • Metabolic Disease and Cancer
• Cancer Microenvironment and Therapeutics
• Workshop 1: All Things Interferon
• Workshop 2: Therapeutic Targeting of JAK-STAT Pathways
