Abstract

The Gordon Research Seminar on Chemotactic Cytokines is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience, to present and exchange new, unpublished data and cutting edge ideas. Our program aims to empower early career researchers to showcase their work to their peers and selected mentors from academia and industry, to foster new collaborations and promote career development. Chemotactic cytokines (chemokines) control cell migration and immune cell function. This meeting will focus on emerging concepts in chemokine biology, including; chemokine structure, function and receptor interactions, atypical chemokine receptors, as well as the role of chemokines and their receptors in homeostasis and development, autoimmunity, cancer, and chronic inflammation.
