"The production of iPS cells from dermal fibroblasts has generated intense interest in the utility of such cells for research purposes and clinical applications. iPS cell production currently requires the use of transcription factor gene delivery to reprogramme cells into iPS cells. Hence, both gene delivery technology and iPS cell characterization and subsequent cell differentiation are critical aspects of iPS cell biology. This meeting will address both issues" Meeting Chairs: Professor Andrew Baker, University of Glasgow¸Scotland and Dr Chris Denning, University of Nottingham¸UK. The meeting has CPD approval and the early registration deadline is 20th July 2010. more »

Food allergy has now reached epidemic proportions in the UK where the personal, social and economic cost extends not only across the nation but affects other developed countries as well. This has prompted the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee to publish its report on allergy (September 2007) in which they conclude that evidence-based research into food allergy is urgently needed to ensure that sound scientific evidence underpins public policies. The aim of this first EuroScicon meeting on Food Allergy is to provide a wider perspective, being unlimited in scope. It strives to provide a broad overview of the following; food allergies and intolerances, the susceptibility to food allergy, early life origins of food allergy, food tolerance versus food sensitisation, effects of food processing on food allergenicity, industrial dimensions of food allergy, food allergy and the processing of protein allergens by antigen-presenting cells novel foods.

Are you measuring or want to measure cytokines ?, trying to optimise your technique or do you want just to make sure you are going about it the right way? This meeting aims to summarise some of the options open to you and to discuss which techniques best suit your requirements. A series of presentations from experts working in the academic, clinical and commercial sectors will compare recent developments in technologies ranging from relatively “low-tech” assays such as ELISA, Elispot and bioassays through to the “high-tech” platform technologies of various multiplex cytokine detection systems. Their use in basic science, R&D; and translational research will be discussed. The meeting has CPD approval and the EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE is 20th April 2009. If you book this event you will get 30% off the EARLY REGISTRATION FEE for registration to the partner ELISPOT FOLLOW UP EVENT which will take place on the 15th Oct 2009. more »

Four clearly distinct, focused sessions are planned.. Session A will cover different applications of ELISPOT that are unique to the technique and should be of general interest because it can be applied to all fields of study in which ELISPOT is used. Session B will be dedicated to ELISPOT standardization, harmonization and validation. There are three major multicenter programs ongoing and these will provide a briefing on the progress they have made. Sessions C and D are assigned to the ELISPOT reagent and instrument manufacturers to share new developments on their front. Session E is dedicated to questions and answer. Participants will be asked to submit questions before the meeting, and also to ask questions ad hoc – these questions will be discussed.The meeting has CPD approval and the early registration deadline is 20th July 2009. more »

"Significant advances in our understanding of the innate immune recognition have been made in the last decade following the identification of three families of pattern recognition receptors: Toll-like receptors (TLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs) and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs). TLRs are pattern recognition receptors that detect motifs or signatures from bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. NLRs detect mainly intracellular bacteria and RLRs detect viral genome. These three families of pattern recognition receptors comprise the front line of defence that the host possesses against microbial pathogens. The aim of this meeting is to provide an overview of these three families of receptors and provide the most recent advances in the area of innate immune pattern recognition". Chairs: Dr Martha Triantafilou/Dr Kathy Triantafilou, University of Sussex, UK. The meeting has CPD approval.

"Although there is a rush of technological advancement in the tropical countries, by accepting the super technological approach in handling diseases like cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes, rare neurological disease etc, the most commonly encountered diseases in the tropical countries, such as infectious diseases (leprosy, drug resistant tuberculosis, leishmanissis,malaria filariais as well as common cancers like oral cancer and immunodeficiency vs malnutrition) are not getting enough attention. This meeting will explore the new technological advances and research currently being undertaken to irradicate these neglected diseases and discuss the greater implications these will have to global public health".
