Conference scene: New research directions in innate immunity

Immunotherapy
Christopher James Kevin Ward

Abstract

The 2013 3R's event, chaired by Kathy Triantafilou and Martha Triantafilou (Institute of Infection & Immunity, Cardiff University School of Medicine, UK), brought together immunologists across Europe investigating multiple species and pathology. The conference heard nine speakers describe their research, and received ten highly structured in-depth posters from postgraduate students. Three promising research directions are described, demonstrating the importance of continued support for innate immunity research in common diseases affecting humans and ruminants, universally understood to have profound economic impacts on patients, health services and the agricultural industry.

There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
