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 and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. Through their control of cell migration, chemotactic cytokines (chemokines) control the complex processes of immune function. This meeting will focus on emerging concepts in chemokine biology including their structure and function, as well as their roles in homeostasis and development, immune activation, cancer, and chronic inflammation.
