Myeloid Cells (B7) by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology

Myeloid Cells (B7) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held from Feb 24 - 28, 2019 at Eldorado Hotel & Spa Santa Fe, Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States of America.

Course Description :
Myeloid cells regulate tissue homeostasis, immunity and inflammation, whereas their dysregulation contributes to cancer, metabolic diseases, inflammatory diseases and degenerative diseases. This Keystone Symposia conference will cover areas of long-standing interest as well as topical areas in the field of myeloid cell biology, including ontogeny and tissue specification, myeloid cell activation, immunometabolism, immunity and infection, mucosal immunity and cancer immunology. Multiple myeloid cell populations will be discussed, including tissue-resident macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells and neutrophils. The conference will highlight the diverse approaches being used to study myeloid cell biology, including genomic analyses, single-cell profiling, imaging and metabolic profiling. Both basic and translational aspects of myeloid cell research will be covered. The goals of the conference are to share recent advances in this rapidly evolving field, stimulate interactions between interdisciplinary groups of scientists, and define future areas of investigation in myeloid cell research.

Plenary Session Topics:
• Innate Immune Receptors and Myeloid Cell Activation
• Workshop 1: Myeloid Cell Activation
• Myeloid Cells in Metabolism
• Myeloid Cells in Metabolic and Inflammatory Diseases
• Macrophage Specification in the Tissue Environment
