SUMMARY:Emerging Infectious Diseases and Biodefense Vaccines
DESCRIPTION:The 12th Annual Emerging Infectious Diseases and Biodefense Vaccines\, Therapeutics & Diagnostics conference event will be held June 4-6\, 2014 in Washington D.C. \nThe conference draws thought leaders and decision-makers from public health and national security agencies\, biotech and pharmaceutical industries\, and the academic and not-for-profit infectious diseases and CBRN communities to explore strategies for dealing with various challenges\, share perspectives\, and establish collaboration to further the development of needed medical countermeasures. \nTopic areas include: \n\nPlans for 2014 and beyond\nCombating drug resistance with broad-spectrum antimicrobials and antibiotics\nDeveloping countermeasures against radiological\, chemical and nuclear emergencies\nRole of adjuvants in developing more effective influenza vaccines\nThe HHS and DOD’s Advanced Manufacturing facilities\nFDA medical countermeasure policy changes\nThe Animal Model Qualification (AMQ) Program\nRegulatory science updates\n\n“Threats posed by emerging infectious disease and chemical\, biological\, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents are dynamic and ever-changing. In 2013\, cases of H5N2\, H7N9\, H9N2\, H6N1\, MERS\, dengue\, bubonic plague were found from Hong Kong\, Saudi Arabia to the streets of New York\,” states Infocast\, host of the conference. \n“For companies looking to work with the government and participate in the development\, manufacturing and delivery of needed vaccines\, therapeutics and other medical countermeasures against CBRN agents and infectious diseases threats\, the annual Emerging Infectious Diseases + Biodefense Vaccines\, Therapeutics & Diagnostics summit is the place to interact face-to-face with representatives from federal agencies tasked with protecting public health in the event of a pandemic or bioterrorist attack.” \nPlease visit Infocast’s Emerging Infectious Diseases + Biodefense Vaccines\, Therapeutics & Diagnostics event website for more information.

SUMMARY:Immunochemistry & Immunobiology
DESCRIPTION:Immunochemistry & Immunobiology will be held June 1-6\, 2014 in Newry\, Maine. The theme of this research symposium is “Re-Evaluating the Fundamentals of Immunology\, Their Clinical Potentials\, Their Meaningful Measures\, and the Unmet Needs.” \nThe event will focus on data from leading and emerging experts to fundamentally re-evaluate basic research priorities\, general scholarship\, and translational potentials in nine key thematic areas of immunology: immune cell development and renewal; immune regulatory mechanisms; immunology and metabolism; immunological memory; tissue-based immune compartments; neonatal immunology; human immune response mechanisms; cytokines and their actions; and tumor immunology. \nWhereas these areas have traditionally been considered in the context of protection against infection\, the more contemporary and challenging backdrop for their presentation and brain-storming shall also include the emerging and unexpected roles for immune cells in basic physiologic processes; the unanticipated yet impressive efficacies of immunotherapies in areas of major clinical need; and the rapidly improving tools for the direct analysis and manipulation of human immune responses. \nContributing sponsors of the event include the National Institutes of Health\, Pfizer\, Amgen\, Cell Press\, Genentech\, Merck\, HS LifeSciences\, Institut Merieux\, BioLegend\, Affymetrix eBioscience\, Takeda and MedImmune. \nPlease visit Gordon Research Conferences’ Immunochemistry & Immunobiology website for more information.
