Cell Symposia - Translational Immunometabolism is organized by Elsevier and will be held during Jun 24 - 26, 2018 at University of Basel, Department of Biomedicine, Basel, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland.
Conference Description :
The field of immunometabolism has thrived over the last decade, revealing not only the major roles played by immune cells in metabolic homeostasis but also the impact of metabolic pathways on immune cell function. As new discoveries continue to reveal the intricate links between immunology and metabolism, a key question arises: will our accumulated knowledge on immunometabolic deregulations translate into novel therapies for human diseases? During this Cell Symposium, you will hear about the latest advances in immunometabolism from physician-scientists, basic researchers and industry leaders. We will discuss how local and systemic metabolism are integrated at the cellular level to regulate immune cell function and we will focus on how novel insights into immunometabolism can be harnessed to advance and/or bolster therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases, inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer.
Conference Topics :
• Infection and host metabolic adaptation.
• Chronic inflammation and metabolic disease.
• Metabolic disruptions of immune cells.
• Cancer Immunity.
• Nutrient sensing and microbiome-host interactions.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
