Abstract

This FASEB Science Research Conference is a long lasting series of meetings and have excellent reputations among immunologists. The aim of this meeting is to provide in-depth coverage of recent advances in the field of immunoreceptors, in a highly interactive environment. Highlighting new developments on a variety of receptors that play key roles in the immune system, it will have a particular emphasis on antigen receptors, adhesion molecules, complement receptors, immunoglobulin family receptors and Fc receptors. This theme has enormous relevance for both academic research and biotech/pharmaceutical industries because the critical roles of immunoreceptors play in immune system and many new drugs reaching the clinic or in development are targeting immunoreceptors and/or associated ligands. The meeting will thus have a broad span from basic research to clinical application.
