Regulatory Myeloid Suppressor Cells: From Basic Discovery to Application

Regulatory Myeloid Suppressor Cells: From Basic Discovery to Application is organized by The Wistar Institute and Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) would be held during Jun 16 - 19, 2016 at The Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America. The targeted audience for this conference is immunotherapeutics, immunologists, Oncologists.

This conference will focus on the pathological functions of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and neutrophils, and provide a forum for in-depth discussion of the most pressing issues associated with the biology and clinical application of these cells. The conference will bring together scientists from academia and industry interested in the basic and translational aspects of these cells in pathological conditions, especially cancer.

With the development of novel immunotherapeutics, it has become apparent that regulatory myeloid cells play a major role in limiting the therapeutic efficacy of treatment. The specific goals of this meeting are for attendees to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms regulating the accumulation of these cells; the markers that allow for detection of these cells in patients with cancer, chronic infections and inflammation; and approaches to therapeutic targeting of these cells.
