Organized in partnership with Cell Press
Keep me postedAdd to calendarOrganized in partnership with Cell Press
After the Cell-VIB event on Type 2 Immunity organized in Bruges in December 2014, VIB launched the Type 2 Immunity in Homeostasis and Disease series in February 2019. Now, VIB is very pleased to organize the 2nd edition of that event. This conference will be organized in the Bijloke in Ghent, a 13th-century architectural marvel in the historic center of Ghent.
This conference will not only focus on new effector and regulatory mechanisms of the type 2 immune response. It will also offer a number of talks taking a broader look at type 2 immunity, dealing with such topics as type 2 immunity in homeostasis, growth and repair, metabolism, neuro-immune interactions, and cancer. Understanding these alternative roles for type 2 immunity will be essential to address the benefits and potential pitfalls of long-term inhibition of type 2 immunity by biologicals and could elucidate new therapeutic pathways for widespread diseases like asthma, obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
Satellite - 14 December
On Wednesday 14 December a satellite event ‘From basic science in Type 2 Immunity to the clinic’ will be held. During this satellite 8 international speakers will present their work in sessions focused on mucus plugging, eosinophils, and biologic interventions. The event is supported by Astrazeneca, GSK, and Sanofi.
Poster information
